Second only to motorcycle helmet, MX riding boots enhance your overall riding experience by making you a safer rider. Other pieces of dirt bike riding gear, such as the chest protector, elbow pads, etc. They are great, but their main purpose is to protect you in the event of a fall or collision. I can’t count how many times my feet have hit rocks, stumps, and logs that didn’t cause a crash but could have caused a foot injury if I hadn’t been wearing MX riding boots.

The footrests of a dirt bike can cause serious injury. Footrests are basically a sharp, uneven piece of aluminum designed to provide an extreme non-slip surface. This sharp footrest, paired with a good pair of MX riding boots, makes you feel really connected to the bike and will take you to the next level.

However, if you’ve ever tried to start a dirt bike with a pair of normal work boots, you are well aware of how close your calf is to the footrest. I know a girl who has a nasty scar from trying to start a dirt bike. They literally pulled a gouge out of his calf. Now he has motocross boots.

Another common injury people suffer from riding without MX boots is to the shin. His foot could come off the stirrup and hit him against him, breaking his shinbone. You can also remove the skin from your shin when your leg slides down over the uneven peg.

There is no possibility of suffering this type of injury when riding in motocross boots.

When you drive through the northeast, you will find a lot of mud. Mud puddles, which range in size from a swimming pool to a small lake, can be an intimidating obstacle to navigating. Many motocross boots extend to just below the knee and are generally waterproof or sturdy. MX riding boots make muddy riding fun and help keep your feet dry.

The benefits of wearing motocross boots

• Protection for feet, shins, and calf area against footrest-related injuries
• Protection for lower legs from rocks, trees and other attractions.
• A better connection with the bike.
• A greater sense of security and increase your confidence.
• They make riding in the mud fun
• They look like something Gene Simons would wear on stage with KISS

I personally travel with a pair of motocross boots made by Moose Riding Equipment (M1 Boot). I really like them because they seem to extend higher up the leg than most other motocross boots, plus the foot area of ​​the boot is sturdy rigid plastic. My feet would have been crushed multiple times without it. The shin area also contains pieces of hard plastic. My friends have MX boots made by Thor. They look great and are very comfortable; they just don’t look as beefy as the M1. Cost was a factor for me as well. I only had $ 100 to make this purchase. Prices range from $ 100 to $ 500. I’m sure high-end boots would be better than less expensive ones. The point is that if you are going out to ride, protect your feet. An X-ray at the doctor’s office will cost more than $ 100.
