When it comes to boots, not all are created equal when it comes to riding off-road. There is a point where the best road boot money can buy becomes a heavy liability when the blacktop ends and the road surface gets loose.
Boots that are made specifically for off-road use have a host of features that you really don’t want to skimp on because you only get two legs and limps haven’t been cool since the pirate days.
And it’s not just about external protection either, there’s a lot of thought put into support for scenarios that just won’t happen on the road.
