⚡ At a Glance
- • Impact Protection: Injection moulded plastic plates protect against impacts
- • Best for: Junior motocross and BMX riders needing robust lower-leg protection
- • Not ideal for: Riders seeking full leather dress boots or highly breathable summer footwear
Injection moulded plastic plates and a metal shank insert give solid protection and structural support. A snap-lock four-buckle closure, air mesh interior and cushioned insole add secure fit and extra comfort.
Reliable impact resistance - thanks to injection-moulded plastic plates
Injection-moulded plastic plates sit across high-contact panels to absorb and distribute force from knocks and stones. The hard shell construction reduces localised pressure on the foot and lower leg.
Reduces the risk of bruising and abrasions during falls or heavy landings, keeping young riders on their feet more often.
Firm support and shape retention - with a metal shank insert
A metal shank runs through the sole to stiffen the arch and preserve the boot's profile under load. That reinforcement helps prevent excessive sole flex during aggressive riding.
Improves stability on landings and when standing on footpegs, making control more predictable for developing riders.
Comfort for longer sessions - with air mesh interior and cushioned insole
An air mesh lining improves airflow while generous heel support and a padded insole cushion impact and reduce pressure points. The combination balances ventilation with padding where feet need it most.
Keeps feet drier and more comfortable during extended practice, helping reduce distractions and soreness after rides.
