The Quintessential Guide for Buying Riding Boots in India

You cannot overlook the importance of a good pair of riding boots, especially when riding in India, where roads and terrain can often get precarious for bikers. Boots are also among the riding gear that wears and tears the most while you are on the road.

What is different about riding boots in comparison to regular shoes?

This question has been asked time and again by those who are ignorant of long-distance riding mechanics. Regular shoes are made for walking, running and general use, which is not the use case for riding boots. Where a normal shoe will instantly tear apart in a high-speed bike crash, a riding boot is like a protective shield around your calf, ankle and toes. Riding boots are engineered for taking on the asphalt and designed for maximum riding comfort. The hard shell and added weight of these boots also makes shifting gears and braking effortless.

Here is a broad classification of riding boots available in India from High Note Performance bike accessory store.

1. Urban/Street Riding Shoes:

Short length shoes with hardened toe, heel and ankle protection, these riding boots are perfect for short highway rides and regular city riding. The boots are made from lightweight materials and usually have waterproofing available in select models. You can buy these riding boots with straps or laces. A few variants of these riding boots also come with zippers for your convenience.

2. Touring Boots:

Designed for long rides, touring boots are engineered for maximum comfort without compromising on rider safety. Most touring boots are waterproof with mid-height construction for protecting shins, ankles and toes. You can buy touring boots with Zippers or Velcro. The TCX Airtech Evo WP boots are a perfect example of Gore-Tex variant touring boots.

3. Sports Riding Boots:

These are among the most aggressively styled riding boots with a definitive focus on protection. Sports riding boots are worn by riders participating in high-risk moto events and super bike riders. The Torsion Control System in these riding boots allows limited ankle movement to minimize strain on the ankle joints. Sport riding boots also protect you from injury while cornering at extreme angles.

4. Adventure Riding Boots:

The role of adventure riding boots starts where the road ends. These shoes come with purpose-built soles to ensure that you are firmly planted on tricky terrains like, gravel, rocky surfaces or loose earth. The thick leather construction of these riding boots also makes sure that your feet are shielded from impact of stones and flying debris on the trail.
