Dirt bike boots are a very necessary part of riding and when you're putting together a riding wardrobe, you'll be looking at a lot of choices.
Motocross Boots often have look like they came from straight out of a science fiction movie, with their space-age designs. The hard shells around the major impact areas around the shin, calf and ankle areas especially are made to withstand an impact.
Offroad and dual sport boots are another type of riding boot you will find a lot of types of when you're looking to purchase a pair of riding boots. They are a little lighter and little more flexible than standard motocross boots because they don't have the hard shell armor that motocross boots normally have.
No matter which type of dirt bike boots you get, make sure your boots fit well, try them on and walk around. Another good rule of thumb is to get into your riding position and see if the boots are comfortable then, that will be the position you're in most when you wear them, be sure they are comfortable for you to wear.
Other features you will want in your boots will be a good ankle and heel grip and a strong protective material around the ankle area. Make sure there is strong toe protection such as a shifter pad and there should also be a good stiff sole. Padding and an easy step in are a bonus, the more padding, the more the boots can absorb a shock.
Riding dirt bikes is a blast and it's even more fun to do safely with a great fitting pair of dirt bike boots.
