If you're wondering which motorcycle boots to buy but are still unsure, welcome to ACMOTOS website: we're pleased to inform you that you're in the right place to address your questions.
And if you have any remaining doubts after reading the following lines, remember we're here to advise you. We'll help you find your motorcycle boots at the best price, with all the quality guarantees:
What types of boots are available?
Regarding their construction, there are two types of boots:
Short motorcycle boots
If your riding style is relaxed and you use your motorcycle for urban purposes or for leisurely rides on the road, you can choose to forego leg protection. Thus, short boots are a good option for you.
High-top boots
But if you're a speed enthusiast or practice disciplines such as motocross or trail riding, then it's imperative that your calves are fully protected: high-top motorcycle boots are the logical choice.
Another difference among various types of boots is the closure. In the market, you'll find:
Boots with lace-up closure
In short motorcycle boots, the most common is the use of traditional laces for closure.
Boots with velcro and/or zipper closure
The boots often chosen by sport motorcycle and offroad riders are high-top. To facilitate the fitting process, velcro and zipper closures (or a combination of both) are used.
We should note that some short boots also feature one of these two types of closures.
Types of soles
Last but not least, here's a basic guide to decide on a motorcycle boot with one type of sole or another:
- Offroad riding requires stiff and thick soles that allow the rider to stand upright, resting on the motorcycle's pegs.
- For other uses, in general, boots with flexible soles are preferred.
What materials are they made of?
The construction materials depend on the balance between protection, comfort, and waterproofing intended for the motorcycle boot:
- Leather motorcycle boots are suitable for relaxed touring and urban riding, as they offer a high level of comfort without sacrificing safety and a more than acceptable level of waterproofing.
- Boots for high-speed or offroad use have a much higher level of protection and waterproofing at the expense of comfort. For this, high-resistance synthetic and plastic materials are used, sometimes combined with leather.
What's my size?
Regarding boot size, there isn't a specific guideline to follow. If you purchase your motorcycle boots in a physical store, you'll have no problem: simply try them on to find your boot size.
And if you're buying your boots from an online store specialized in motorcycle footwear (like ACMOTOS, for instance), it's also straightforward: before making the purchase, send the online store the exact measurements of your foot.
To do this, specify the length, measured from the most protruding part of the instep to the tip of your big toe. Keep in mind that you should measure both feet, as one might be slightly longer than the other. If so, provide the online store with the measurement of the longer foot.
Additionally, if you have very wide feet or a high instep, inform the online store. This way, you'll be sure to purchase a boot that fits you perfectly.
How to know which one will suit me?
Review the first and second sections of this article and, based on your type of motorcycle and riding habits, you'll find the answer to this question.

Why wear them?
A more than sufficient reason to choose specific motorcycle boots is that they are designed to achieve the perfect balance between comfort and safety.
In the event of a fall or collision, the boots can make the difference between a severe fracture or injury and a painful bruise.
