About Ride Shoes

For road riders who commute, hit the cafés and wander around in their gear during the day and night, a casual ride shoe may be a better option for you than a boot. In the current world of motorcycling, fashion has become more present and it applies to the footwear segment as well. Today’s moto crew not only want to be protected, but also have street appeal with a comfortable walk around ability - these shoes are equally suitable on and off the bike.

Why It’s important to choose the right ride shoe

The big bonus of ride shoes is they function like your everyday sneaker / casual shoe, just with a bit more motorcycle orientated protection! Unlike boots, which are often heavier and bulky, the lower cut and lighter street shoes give the rider the ability to move more freely and walk around without restricting movement.

There are various levels of protection available in the street shoe market, some shoes are constructed of very lightweight material with minimal heavy-duty protection. This style of ride shoe is good for a scooter rider, or commuter who is travelling short distances or wears the shoe for long periods of time off their bike. Or the other end of the spectrum, you can get short cut ‘mini race’ style boots which have a higher level of protection and are constructed of heavy-duty material. A solid choice for a street racer who loves the MotoGP, and getting out for a run through the hills on their sport bike.

Taking these options into mind, the next consideration would be weather conditions as some styles are more suitable for the summer months with canvas or nylon construction. However, some pairs are more all year round suitable with leather construction and the addition of waterproof membranes included.
