Motorcycle Boot Reviews

For City Rides, Track Day Laps or Sports Tours Through Africa, Our Hands On Reviews of Motorcycle Boots Will Help You Find the Perfect Pair of Boots for Whatever Your Riding Adventure.

Do you even need specific motorcycle boots? Sure, you can wear regular shoes on your motorcycle, a good pair of boots is a much better option if you want to keep your feet in tact and not destroyed in the event of an accident. Feet, ankles and lower leg body parts are more fragile than we care to think they are and it only makes sense to support and protect them from the dangers that await them when riding a motorcycle. Specifically designed motorcycle boots come with features like a solid tread that keeps your feet from slipping off the pegs as well as tough materials and protection to enhance the safety of your feet.

Ok, so you now know a motorcycle boot is needed. You probably have more questions like where do you find great motorcycle boots? Which boot is best for your specific riding style or bike type or foot shape? Don’t sweat it because at wBw we have been putting motorcycle boots through torture testing for over 20 years and we’ve learned a thing or two in that time.

On this page we help you find the right motorcycle boot and help you navigate to the appropriate review to make sure you’re making an informed decision. Like most things, buying a motorcycle boot isn’t just about looks and style. There are lots of things to consider.

For example, you need to consider the type of riding you will be doing. Where are you spending most of my time riding? Is it once a week blast or every day commuting? What’s your riding style? Are you an aggressive rider or more of a cautious cruiser. What kind of terrain will you be riding on? Is it all city streets or dirt roads and track? How much protection do you want? What style will work best with your motorcycle and clothing? The list goes on and it is very specific to the individual which is why we created this guide and why we review so many boots.
