A few purposes of dirt bike boots are to protect you from obstacles, heat, and injury. Boots protect your feet and your shins from obstacles.

To ensure proper fit, always try on product prior to purchase when possible. Our boots fit true to size and are at industry standard for fitment.

Materials. Leather is still the king of motorcycle boot materials. It's very protective, easy to care for, long-lasting and being a natural product, it's breathable. If you are spending a lot of money on boots that you want to last, look for a 'welted' sole as these can be replaced easily by most high street cobblers.

Also known as "biker boots," harness boots are the real deal amongst motorcyclists. They are typically made with heavyweight, tough leather and range from 10 to 38 inches in height. The most striking feature of this boot is the ankle strap connected with a ring.

They are not easy to walk in, fit tight and make a tennis shoe feel as light as a feather. To ride you must wear but that doesn't mean Motocross boots can't be comfortable. Of course the best start is to get the right size boot. First rule of thumb is to get one size larger than your regular shoe size.

They're simply not meant for the riding position on pretty much any road bike. You MUST adjust the shift and brake lever so that you come with a small movement of the toe under the lever and the brake lever so that you can step on it with a small movement upwards.

What To Keep in Mind. If your boots remain overly tight after wearing or the buckles prove difficult to close without discomfort, get a larger size.

MX boots need to be more on the tighter side. With too much room to move there is also room to twist. Everything starting with "too" is not good so too tight also but take in count most boots will get roomier when worn in.

Motorcycle boots usually have a specially designed sole that provides excellent grip on the foot pegs, which is essential for maintaining control of your motorcycle. Regular boots, on the other hand, may not have the same level of grip, which can make it difficult to keep your feet in place while riding.

Touring boots They're usually made from full-grain leather or tough textiles with extra padding. You'll find most touring boots have waterproofing to keep your feet dry during rainy rides. Motorcycle boots for touring are a good middle ground between racing boots and street-style boots.

Traditional Harness leather is a high quality, vegetable tanned leather that is often used for leather belts, handbags, and many other leather goods where a firm leather is ideal. It is well-suited to a variety of different products due to its durable yet beautiful natural finish.

I work solely with vegetable tanned harness leather, because of its strength, durability, colour and feel. Harness leather is steer hide which is dyed in drums and stuffed with oils and tallows.

Difference between motocross boots and enduro boots Motocross boots have significantly-firmer outsoles than enduro boots. Enduro boots have outsoles that are grippier in wet terrain (e.g. mud) since enduro riders spend much more time with their feet pushing against the ground than motocross riders.

So you start flexing. The leather part of the boot. And how long is this take um. Well then you flex the heel part of the boot. And you want to do this for about three or four hours on each boot.

Should you buy a size bigger in boots? There's no right or wrong answer when it comes to buying boots that are too large, but in general, experts advise size up in order to accommodate for potential swelling and room to wear thicker socks.

To keep your ankle protected they need to be tight. A loose boot is not serving its purpose so please keep those buckles tight. New motocross boots will stretch so bear that in mind when choosing your size but please note they will only stretch width-wise. They cannot get longer toe-wise.
