A fair few bikers out there will remember the days when your motorcycle boots were only for special occasions!
Travelling any sort of distance, meets or going to watch races are some examples but for the rest of it, well, let’s just say there were a generation who used to zap around in just trainers!
Roughly three decades later and of course things have changed, most have a bit more disposable at the ready and boots aren’t as expensive as they used to be, either. Yet like any product class there’s the usual top end item (in this case we’re looking at you, Daytona…), and a sliding scale downwards in price thereafter. We’re looking for boots which can do a job not just in winter but all year-round, too

RST Paragon II WP
Price: £119 | Available: www.rst-moto.com
Completing RST’s quartet of Paragon titled kit are these, the Paragon II WP boot. The boot’s shank is a anti-twist polycarbonate number – quick tip, if you’re looking at a pair of cheap boots, hold one upside down, grab an end in each hand, put some back into it and try and bend each end downwards – If it doesn’t bend all is well, if the boot collapses on itself, drop them, turn around and look elsewhere!
Anyway, back to the Paragon II, the inner sole is antibacterial while the outer is a non-slip dual density affair. The water-proof (WP) and breathable aspect is taken care of via a Hipora membrane, the heel is vented while protected by TPU reinforcements, as is the shin while the ankle has a more rubbery style protector. They’re available in sizes 6.5 – 13. Buy your pair now, click here to get started.
Spada Hurricane 3
Price: £99.99 | Available: www.spadaclothing.co.uk
Spada’s Hurricane 3 is a unisex boot, it features a specialised touring sole and a moulded gear-change pad as just parts of its PU coated leather construction. It has a density-insert in the shin and ankle sections, which is just another way of saying your heel is protected by more than just a bit of leather.
The inner lining is breathable, the toe and side-heel areas are reinforced while there’s a velcro/twin-zip adjustment system around the calf. A decent boot at a great sub-£100 price point, and available in sizes 4 – 12. Buy your pair here!
Duchinni Atlas
Price: £99.99 | Available: www.thekeycollection.co.uk
At first glance the Atlas appears to be a good looking boot, and so it is! Made from full-grain leather it sports a textile upper as part of its construction.
The shin and ankle areas have flex panels and there’s a stretch insert amid the calf section too. There is of course a breathable and WP inner lining, the sole is oil-resistant, there are reflective panels where one would want them and heel and toe areas are reinforced for your safety. They’re available in sizes 6.5 – 12. Buy yours now!
