Motorcycle Boots UK

To repair a broken motorcycle boot zipper, follow these steps: Inspect the Zipper Teeth: Check if the teeth are misaligned or damaged. Gently realign the teeth if they are out of place. Use Wax for Smooth Operation: Apply a small amount of wax (like candle wax) to the zipper teeth. This can help the zipper slider move more smoothly and prevent further separation. Zipper Slider Adjustment: If the zipper slider is not engaging the teeth properly, try squeezing it gently with a pair of pliers to tighten it. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid breaking the slider. Replace the Zipper Slider: If the slider is broken or too loose, consider replacing it with a new one. You can purchase replacement sliders from sewing or hardware stores. Consult a Professional: For more severe damage, such as completely broken teeth or a broken zipper track, it may be best to consult a professional. A local bike shop or a leather repair specialist can provide recommendations and potential repair services. Temporary Fixes: If a professional repair is not immediately possible, use velcro strips or safety pins as a temporary solution to keep your boots closed.

All motorcycle boots sold in the UK must be certified to EN 13634:2017. This tests for ankle height, abrasion resistance, impact protection, and transverse rigidity. Look for Level 1 or Level 2 ratings on the boot's label.

Touring boots prioritise comfort over long distances, waterproofing, and walkability. Racing boots focus on maximum ankle protection, rigid chassis construction, and crash performance. Maximo Moto stocks both types across multiple price points.

For the UK's unpredictable weather, look for boots with a waterproof membrane such as REISSA or WR (Water Resistant) rated construction. The Bela Senior WR, Bela Air Tech WR, and R-Tech Traveler WR all offer waterproof protection alongside CE-certified ankle armour — keeping feet dry on wet commutes and long touring runs alike.

It depends on the style. Urban and touring boots — like the Bela Kiva, Bela Blaze, and R-Tech Royal — are designed with walkability in mind. They've got low-profile soles and flexible construction, so you can wear them comfortably off the bike too. Racing and track boots are stiffer by design and are better suited purely for riding.

Motorcycle boots generally follow EU sizing. It's best to measure your foot in centimetres and cross-reference the brand's size guide, as sizing can vary between manufacturers. If you're between sizes, go up rather than down — boots are worn with thick socks and need room for ankle armour to sit correctly without restricting movement.
