Low Motorcycle Shoes and Sneakers
Motorcycle shoes are a cross between sneakers and boots: they can be worn all day but have ankle reinforcement, gear shift pads, and non-slip soles for the footpegs. The catalog features 10 active items from Difi, Macna, Momo Design, Hevik, and Booster, including waterproof versions and overshoes to wear over regular shoes.
Motorcycle Low-Cut Shoes and Sneakers: Guide, Tips, and FAQs
Shoe or boot?
Boots cover and restrict the ankle much more: they are the choice for track, off-road, and touring. Shoes offer less protection but can also be worn for walking, and for daily urban use, they are what people actually wear. The practical rule is simple: the best protection is the one you wear every day.
Certification
Motorcycle footwear is certified according to standard EN 13634, which measures abrasion, cut, and impact resistance. Where the manufacturer declares it, you will find it written on the model's product page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are motorcycle shoes waterproof?
Only models with a declared membrane. Some sneakers in the catalog have a membrane and are indicated as waterproof in the title or product page; others are not.
What is an overshoe?
It is a protector that slips over a regular shoe, at the instep, to prevent damage from the gear lever. It is not protective footwear: it only serves to save the shoe.
What size should I get?
The same as your everyday shoes, taking into account technical socks if you use them. Each product page includes the manufacturer's size chart.
What does EN 13634 mean?
It is the European standard for motorcycle footwear. It defines the height of the shaft and the minimum performance for abrasion, cutting, tearing, and seam strength. We report it when the manufacturer declares it.
Are they also suitable for scooters?
Yes, they are indeed the most commonly used footwear for scooters in the city, precisely because they are comfortable to walk in once dismounted.
