Choosing Leather Motorcycle Boots
Image by arbyreed
Boots are an essential part of your leather motorcycle clothing. You should always wear proper protection on your feet. Never ride in sandals, flip flops, bare feet or running shoes as none of these will offer any protection in the event of an accident or fall from your motorcycle.Boots should completely cover the ball of the foot have good traction with oil and gas resistant soles.
Leather motorcycle boots should completely cover the ball of the foot have good traction with oil and gas resistant soles. Leather boots are ideal and offer the maximum protection. Steel toe caps can also be used to give even more protection. Dirt bike boots and racing track boots can be used but they are expensive and are heavy and rather rigid so are not really comfortable for walking in.
Should you have boots with laces? Laces can be a safety hazard by coming loose and getting tangled in chains and spokes. Boots with laces can be used for motorcycle riding if you are vigilant about checking that they are tightly tied regularly. Make it a habit to check the laces when you stop for gas. Boots with velcro, zips or buckles are obviously better.
