The Underrated Riding Boot in Motorcycle Gear!

We're all familiar with motorcycle gear, but many people may not have a deep understanding of riding boots. Today, let's discuss one of the most underrated pieces of equipment in riding gear - riding boots.

Most motorcycle enthusiasts' feet are clad in either sneakers, leather boots, or even slippers. Many people are not even aware of the need for proper motorcycle boots.

Let's start with a story.

A friend rode a short distance in the rain.

They were fully equipped with a helmet, raincoat, and protective gear.

Unfortunately, their feet were wet and uncomfortable. Upon arriving at their destination, they had no good mood left and wanted to find better shoe covers.

I experimented with different kinds of shoe covers when I first began riding. However, I eventually stopped using them because of their disadvantages.

They're completely non-breathable. Water does not need to enter from the outside for the interior to get wet. Sweat from your feet will make it damp within five minutes.

Most of the time, shoe covers don't fit well with your shoes or feet and can't keep water out. As soon as they get wet, they change shape, and water enters through various gaps, making your feet even more uncomfortable.

Shoe covers are not attached to your shoes. If you are not careful, they could get stuck in the chain or wheel. This could cause severe damage.

In conclusion, using shoe covers for waterproofing while riding a motorcycle is highly discouraged.

They're unsafe and uncomfortable. The only real solution for waterproof feet is a pair of qualified motorcycle boots.

I believe that riding boots are essential for motorcycling. This includes commuting, traveling short to medium distances, and embarking on long motorcycle tours. The helmet is the first thing to put on after the boots.

【Knowledge】Motorcycle Injury Accident Chart:

Over 50% of motorcycle injuries come from the feet. The most vulnerable areas, in order, are the feet, ankles, shinbones, knees, and thighs, making professional motorcycle boots crucial.

（PS: Heavy-duty work boots also provide some protection; crash bars don't offer much protection for the feet.）

The chart on the right shows data from 125CC motorcycle injury accidents. The sample size was 1415 cases. Leg injuries accounted for 67.2% of the accidents.

I. Riding Boots Certification Standards

There is currently no professional industry standard for domestically produced motorcycle boots. The existing standard for regular leather shoes isn't suitable for the specific needs of professional motorcycle protection.

So, for now, motorcycle riding boots still depend on CE certification to figure out how protective they are.

This is not to say that China motorcycle boots on the market have no protective capabilities. Domestic brands also refer to some imported brands' practices and do not differ significantly in functionality or price from imported brands.

Of course, the CE certification for motorcycle shoes is one certificate per model. It means 10 different certifications are required for 10 models.

Furthermore, in the current market situation, riding shoes are the least sold but very useful protective gear.

But since they are riding boots, they should meet certain standards to make consumers feel more confident when purchasing. Without the ability to discern and compare, consumers won't trust domestic motorcycle boots.

II. Differences Between Imported and Domestic motorcycle Boots

The main difference lies in certification. Excellent domestic riding boots have some protective features. But without testing and a standard to judge, we can't really assess their functionality, quality, or any drawbacks.

It is not true that domestic riding boots are inferior to imported products. They are indeed cheaper, with the primary cost difference coming from testing fees. As for brand premium, appearance design, and material quality, trust me, don't be too concerned. First, develop the habit of "wearing riding boots whenever riding."

Therefore, we call on domestic riding boots manufacturers to add CE certification standards to help consumers tell apart.

III. Types of Riding Boots, Features, and Selection

Let's discuss the features of riding boots. The key safety features include four defenses: protection against abrasion, water, punctures, and pressure.

To find detailed parameters and standards, just look up the latest CE standards for motorcycle riding boots online.

As for aesthetics, I understand that one of the essential points of riding is looking cool. But this is not my concern today. If you want a cool, high-protection level (at least qualified) riding boot, you must increase your budget.

Riding boot types include racing, short urban commuting, mid-cut, high-cut, rally adventure, riding Martin boots, and more.

My advice is to match the type of motorcycle and the primary usage.

Following the 80/20 rule, if 80% of the time is for commuting, a casual riding boot is recommended.

If traveling is the primary purpose, a travel/adventure boot with stronger protection, including shin protection, is recommended.

If you often ride in the mountains, you may want to invest in a sporty leather jacket. For extra protection, consider a sporty racing boot with metal wear pads on the outer side.

If you have a budget, you may want to purchase two pairs of shoes. One for commuting every day and another for short trips. Just like helmets, riding boots should be chosen based on your foot shape to find the most suitable and comfortable pair.

I'm not an expert on clothing matching, so I hope more fashionistas can share their insights.

As long as you wear motorcycle boots, you will find:

1. The toe and heel areas are particularly sturdy, feeling as if they are wrapped in a solid metal-like structure. There are numerous online videos of accidents involving toes getting crushed while riding. Although they may be graphic, I strongly recommend watching them to raise awareness, not for novelty or excitement.

2. Ankle joints have an additional protective layer. During falls and slides, ankle joints are extremely vulnerable to injury. Imagine the consequences of a fall without riding boots, where bones and flesh scrape against the ground.

3. The left and right boots have reinforced gear shift pads to prevent the shoe's surface from wearing out while shifting gears.

4. Riding boot soles have excellent grip to prevent slipping during sudden stops or falls.

5. If you commute to work, you may find walking uncomfortable. This is because your shoes have a stiff surface and sole, making them difficult to bend.

To avoid this, you may wish to change boots throughout the day. The stiffness of the boots is necessary. If a motorbike falls on your foot, the boots will provide support.

Don't expect comfortable motorcycle boots for daily wear. If such a product exists, it's likely an unqualified, deceitful product.

Just like helmets, riding boots should be chosen based on your foot shape to find the most suitable and comfortable pair.

IV. Riding Boot Recommendations

Summer is here for motorcycle enthusiasts, but as the temperature rises, it becomes difficult to wear thick shoes. The search for a pair of motorcycle boots that combines breathable, protection, and aesthetics becomes a necessity.

Remember, the essence of riding boots is to provide safety. Aesthetics should come after prioritize safety and comfort.

Set a mental budget, and look for a product that meets safety standards within your budget. And appearance is just acceptable .

For most motorcycle riders, the main requirement is city riding, commuting, and balancing aesthetics, protection, and comfort. After browsing numerous online sources, I get the following model for your consideration.
