5 OF THE BEST SPORTS BOOTS
RST Tractech Evo Expect to pay: £150 rst-moto.com
Sportsbike-oriented summer boots. Good comfort and protection but check that the plastic on the back doesn’t snag on your bike. An extra tenner gets you the waterproof version.
Falco Eso LX Expect to pay: £230 tranam.co.uk
Not the easiest to get on and off, with a separate inner boot, but worth the bother. Lots of plastic armour on the outside, but the leather feels good. Both protective and comfortable.
Alpinestars Supertech R Expect to pay: £399 alpinestars.com
Very comfortable and light with the emphasis on feel. Designed for track use, with an armoured outer and an inner boot, they’re still comfortable for walking and riding at more normal pace.
Daytona Security Evo 3 Expect to pay: £900 tranam.co.uk
Strictly for track use, these Daytonas are brilliantly protective with a strong inner boot encased in a leather outer. Not so comfy for walking.
TCX S-speed WP Expect to pay: £190 nevis.uk.com
TCX offers a wide range of boots with several sporty options. This is a good summer option that offers greater year-round possibilities as it’s waterproof. Chunky armour is reassuring.
