Motorcycle-racing boots are designed to provide protection at the high speeds that riders will typically encounter during races. Due to the conditions in which it will be used, this protective gear must do more than reduce the extent of injuries like abrasions. At high speeds, impact can damage extremities like the hands, arms, legs, and feet. Protective gear, such as racing suits, gloves, and boots, is available for all of these body parts. By using it together with a motorcycle helmet, riders can reduce the risk of serious injury during races.
Motorcycle-racing boots provide more protection than standard motorcycle boots. In addition to the leather exterior, this style often includes reinforcing armor along the shin and around the foot. While these components must be firm to provide the necessary protection, the boots often include an interior lining to increase comfort for the riders. The armor is constructed from materials like composites and plastics, which can withstand impacts that occur during accidents. They also feature reinforcement in the gearshift area, which may receive additional wear during races.
Riders may want to coordinate the appearance of their boots with the rest of the protective gear they wear. In addition to being available in black, boots can be found in the same range of colors as brand-name racing suits.
