Buy Motorcycle Boots for Road Riding
Motorcycle boots ensure adequate protection while riding, which is why they must offer abrasion resistance, foot and leg support, essential to prevent injuries in case of a fall. At Motocard, we have a wide variety of motorcycle boots, where it is important to choose the boot that best suits our riding style, whether in the city, on the road, or on the track.
Boots should provide the necessary feel to be comfortable and safe while riding, offering the grip and abrasion protection needed while also providing good comfort when you get off the bike and need to walk comfortably.
There are several types of boots depending on our riding style; urban footwear tends to be lighter and more flexible, ideal for scooter mobility around the city and with a casual style. Sports boots offer high protection with resistant materials and structural rigidity in key areas, perfect for intense riding on the track or road thanks to their external sliders. On the other hand, touring boots are designed to offer comfort and resistance during long journeys, with features such as waterproofing and robust soles for various weather conditions.
At Motocard, we offer all types of motorcycle boots whether for urban, sports, or touring riding. If you are looking for more affordable boots, we recommend visiting our outlet section.
Types of Motorcycle Boots
Touring enthusiasts know the importance of having waterproof boots, as rain can seep into the boot, causing moisture and discomfort. Therefore, having waterproof boots will provide us with proper protection against rain.
If we seek excellence in waterproofing, we must mention the Gore-Tex® brand, known for offering high resistance to rain. Gore-Tex® membranes are present in many clothing items, including boots, which is why most road boots, whether touring, racing, or urban, incorporate them.
Rigidity, comfort, and protection are three characteristics that motocross/enduro boots offer. Due to the number of protections they have, they have a more robust and aggressive appearance. Another feature worth highlighting is their sole, which provides a strong grip both on and off the bike.
Trial boots are much lighter and more flexible than motocross boots and are characterized by their rubber sole, in some models stitched, which provides excellent grip allowing better balance and control. They also have numerous protections that offer proper protection and safety.
Women's road boots offer the same features as other boots, with a significant difference. To provide the greatest comfort, this type of women's footwear has a unique design and specific sizing to perfectly fit the foot's morphology.
If we are looking for more discreet boots that still provide excellent protection, the ideal option is to get some urban sneakers. These sneakers have a conventional design, offer high comfort, and are ideal for moving around urban environments.
What are the Best Boots for Each Season?
Boots that provide adequate insulation will be key to withstand low temperatures, which is why winter boots are made with more resistant materials and incorporate thick linings and a waterproof membrane to prevent water from seeping into the boot.
We always seek protection, but in summer, we also look for lightweight and breathable footwear that provides proper airflow and prevents excessive sweating. Boots specific to this season are much lighter and airy so that the heat does not prevent you from going on a ride.
If we are looking for versatile boots that can be used in any season, we can opt for boots designed for all seasons. These provide an adequate level of insulation and waterproofing to withstand cold seasons and also proper ventilation to stay cool in hot seasons.
What Types of Protections Exist for Boots?
There are several types of protections, the most common being heel, toe, and shift protections. These are found in almost all types of boots and urban sneakers, as these are the areas most prone to damage in the event of an impact, even if minimal.
More technical boots like racing boots incorporate more specific protections, located in the ankle, shin, calf, or instep areas. They can even have flex control systems to prevent serious joint injuries.
The inner boot is another protection usually found in motocross and/or enduro boots. This innovative protection system provides greater foot support and controls ankle rotation.

Questions About Motorcycle Boots
How to Know the Size of a Boot?
When buying new boots, it is very important to choose the correct size and ensure they fit perfectly to the shape of our foot. Comfort is essential to enjoy long rides without discomfort, so when acquiring new footwear, it is advisable to try them on.
Road boots should fit snugly but not tightly. If we feel that the foot is not supported and the shoe "dances," we should choose a smaller size. We recommend trying the new boots with thermal and thin socks to see how they fit our feet.
