Leather boots give the support and protection a motorcycle boot must have

The leather boot is synonymous with the motorcycle boot. One just doesn’t think of a motorcycle boot without thinking of it being made of leather. The leather boot is well suited to being a motorcycle boot for many reasons. The biggest is it is just plain durable enough to withstand the rigors of the open road. And that’s whether it’s just resting on the motorcycle pegs or getting roughed up on the asphalt surface.

The leather boot for motorcycling comes in many styles. One of the most popular and a classic looking motorcycle boot is the engineer boot. This simple boot is usually around 11” high and has a smooth rounded toe with a belt and buckle around the bridge and ankle. This is our personal favorite. A similar boot is the harness boot which usually has a squared off front toe and two rings linked in the belt around both sides of the ankle. Both are very stylish and able to stand up to road pounding.

Some people like other traditional leather boots to use as motorcycle boots. Steel toed boots and other work boots are often used. However, they don’t carry the same vibe or true protection an engineer boot has if they don’t reach over the ankle. (That is an important feature to have. Motorcycle boots should cover the ankle and then some to be safe from engine burns and protect against road rash if you fall.) Cowboy or western boots made from exotic leather are also used but we have doubts if they could seriously with stand a solid asphalt scratch.
