MX & Off-Road Motorcycle Boots

No matter what type of riding you do, your feet are always particularly vulnerable when you’re in the saddle. According to statistics, roughly one third of all motorcycle-related injuries involve feet and legs. Your right foot is in close proximity to a hot exhaust pipe, and if your motorcycle happens to fall on the side, your ankle gets trapped underneath. Add in jumps and falls at MX tracks, taking on dirt ramps, and all those hillocks, spikes, and cobbles out on the trail and there you have why the proper feet protection is important. Yet, basic protection is overlooked by many riders.

When you are out on the track or trail, any substitutes for the specifically designed motocross and off-road boots are a definite no-go. No kind of work boots, army boots, or wellies is designed to protect your feet from the dangers of dirt tracks. When you’re going off-road, wearing purpose-built boots is as crucial as wearing the proper helmet. Off-road motorcycle boots feature massive protection from heel to toe and from top to bottom, all aimed at preventing injury to the rider’s feet. A variety of motorcycle boots for dirt riding includes everything from feature-packed rigid boots suitable for aggressive riding styles to softer, more flexible, more comfortable adventure boots.

Because riding a motocross bike means standing up on the pegs most of the time, MX boots have high-strength, rigid soles. These boots also feature the largest amount of armored elements to guard the rider’s feet and ankles against serious blows. The commonly used protective elements are polyurethane shin plates, toe and heel reinforcements, and shock-resistant ankle protection. These boots typically feature pre-curved constructions for maximum riding comfort and control. With the level of protection that high, the tight feel that comes with this type of boots is a small trade-off.

Those who do off-road riding need full-length protection, so off-road boots are typically high enough to cover the rider’s shin and some of the designs feature extended-length shanks. No boots of this type have laces or other loose elements that can get trapped in chains, wheel spokes, kickstarts, etc. Instead, these boots have adjustable buckles, straps, and zips for a precise fit. Both motocross and off-road boots are made lightweight, durable, and all too often, waterproof. They are also offered with many replaceable parts that may include buckles, straps, cuffs, heat shields, and sole inserts. The base material includes combinations of leather and microfiber as well as impact-resistant TPU plates.
