Motorcycle Boots for Men & Women
Motorcycle Boots for Men & Women
FOOTWEAR. What you wear on your feet is at least as important as pants, suits, jackets, gloves, and helmets when riding. Starting with the bottom, construction of the soles, these need to grip well, withstand grease, oil, and weather. But wait, there's more! You need something like Vibram. Vibram is actually the name of the Italian company that licenses and manufacture booth and related products. What riders are so interested in are the boot soles they make. What first got my attention was when I learned that in 1954, the first-ever successful climb to the top of K2 (the world’s second highest mountain) was accomplished by an Italian climbing team wearing Vibram boot soles. Right then, I became a fan. Other companies make good boot soles, but when you see one with a Vibram Sole, you will know its of the best quality.
For boots to bike in, you want abrasion-protection around your foot and a combination of 1000 denier nylon (cordura) and leather are among the best materials for this use. Add good support and protection, and now we're getting there. Now some boots have zipper and some boots have laces. The best is combining them in one boot. Use the laces for get that snug fit, lock the loops, and run a zipper up the sides for an easy in-and-out. Some motorcycle-specific boots are really good, and really expensive. But I've found that unless you're racing in them, a really good military or law enforcement boot costing less money will do just fine, and they are also made to walk in, all day long.
So now, lets look for a great boot that fits the bill, and for that, we've partnered with Danner Boots to bring you the best and at great prices. Watch the video below and learn why we selected Danner Boots:
Danner Boots. They are based in the USA, and their boots are either home-grown or imported and all are required to pass Danner's rigorous quality testing.

The 8 and 6 inch have laces and side zippers and the 4.5 inch is low enough to not need a zipper.
