Motorcycle shoes recommendations and prices
Short motorcycle shoes that look like everyday trainers but carry protection at the ankle, heel and toe. For city riding, scooters and short trips, for those who do not want to wear boots.
What to look for when buying Motorcycle shoes?
- EN 13634 certification and the performance values on the label
- Hard protection on both sides of the ankle
- Reinforcement in the area the gear lever rubs
- A sole that resists twisting, and is oil- and slip-resistant
- A waterproof membrane (WP, D-WP, Gore-Tex) or summer ventilation (Air)
- A pocket or quick-lacing system that covers the laces so they do not catch on the chain or the footpeg
However protective the shoe is, it does not wrap the ankle like a boot; for long distances, high speed and off-road, prefer a boot that comes above the ankle. Always tuck the laces in.

FAQ
How does a motorcycle shoe differ from an ordinary trainer?
A motorcycle shoe has hard protection on both sides of the ankle, reinforcement at the heel and toe, a sole stiffened against twisting, and an extra layer where the gear lever rubs. Certified models pass abrasion, cut and crush tests under EN 13634. An ordinary trainer provides none of these protections in a slide or a fall.
Should I buy motorcycle shoes or boots?
For city use, scooters and short distances, shoes are practical and comfortable. As speed increases, and on long trips and off-road, boots that wrap the ankle completely and rise towards the shin give more protection. If you often ride long distances, think of the shoes as a second pair.
What do the numbers on the EN 13634 label mean?
The four boxes on the label show, in order, height, abrasion resistance, impact cut resistance and lateral crush resistance; each is marked 1 or 2, and 2 means higher performance. On short shoes the height is usually 1. Products that pass the waterproofing test also carry the WR marking.
