The motorcycle boot
Protection with character
Designed for the road, adopted by music and street style.
A true motorcycle boot protects the foot, ankle and shin against impact, heat and abrasion. Sturdy leather or technical material, reinforcements and a grippy sole therefore matter more than decoration. Buckles and fastenings must remain reliable on the road.
The rugged look found a second life away from motorcycling. Rock and punk turned black leather, metal buckles and heavy soles into signs of independence. Fashion versions retain that energy even when technical protection gives way to everyday comfort.
