Top Picks for Adventure and Touring Boots
Bikers are spoilt for choice when it comes to motorcycle gear, and riding boots are no exception. Just like any other gear, it’s important to choose the right pair of boots depending on their functionality, usage and the wearer’s riding style. For the adventurous riders venturing out on trails and long tours, it’s totally worth investing in boots that are strong and sturdy, and can take a lot of wear and tear. Here are Team HNP’s top picks for adventure boots to help you take an informed decision.
- TCX Baja Water Proof Boots:
The TCX Baja Waterproof boots are designed for adventure both on and off road, and on and off the bike. They are built to be protective on the bike and walkable on the trail. Full grain leather upper makes them durable and long lasting, while also giving the rugged good looks.
Polyurethane inserts at the ankle, heel and toe and an ergonomic shin plate. The perfect hybrid of a hiking boot and a motocross boot, the TCX Baja Boots will take you where the adventure leads, over any terrain, through any weather.
- TCX Drifter Waterproof Boots:
The TCX Drifter is a perfect combination of vintage aesthetics and modern technology.
