GET YOUR BEST MOTOCROSS BOOTS
Traditional motocross boots are designed for protecting your feet, ankles and lower legs from impact at speed. But, not all motocross boots are the same! What they tend to share in common is that the shaft closes higher up the leg than most other motorcycle boots. In addition, all motocross boots require perfect fit, which is achieved through three or four points of adjustable closures, usually using a ratchet system. Almost all types of motocross boots are much stiffer than regular motorcycle touring boots and even motorcycle racing boots. A quality motocross boot packs an enormous amount of protective features into a very small space in order to protect your feet and lower legs, but also your hips and spine, from injury.
- Traditional motocross boots are the dominant type: Stiff boots with external protection and a bracing system to minimise injuries.
- Enduro boots are often a version of a motocross boot style with a more deeply treaded sole in order to make it useful for Enduro racing and grip on different terrains.
- Lastly there are also Trials boots: again these are visually similar to other off-road boots, but the structure of a Trial boot is incredibly soft while the soles are designed for the rider to spend a lot of time balancing the bike while standing on the pegs. This is because on Trials bikes the skill is all about bike control and navigating challenges, which requires agility and movement, as opposed to motocross, where speed and tricks matter.
For true motocross racing, be it short race or long race, the answer must be an absolute 'Yes'! Injury to the feet and ankles is so easily life-changing that proper protection for those sports it is an absolute necessity.
It used to be that motocross boots had to be 'broken in' for a long time. No longer the case with the arrival of precision manufacturing and computer aided design. For example the Alpinestars Tech 10 boots are an engineering achievement that has succeeded in making what is a highly structured, protective boot extremely comfortable to wear from the first moment. With motocross boots it really is the case that you get what you pay for.
