Footwear

Biker footwear is another accessory considered essential, the same as gloves.  Your feet, the same as your hands, are the first points of contact with the ground for a human in a fall.  It is instinctive.  Therefore, the protection on your feet should be optimal.

In boots, you should focus on the protection offered.  You must make sure that they protect not only your foot, but your ankles and shins as well.  Also note the wear on the left boot for the purpose of changing gears and the gear shift.  Many boots have protection and reinforcement in that area.

Another aspect to keep in mind is the way the boots fasten.  You should try to find boots that fasten with Velcro or buckles.  It is completely inadvisable to use laces because they can get caught in the motorcycle circuits, which would have disastrous consequences for you and the machine. 

Though we are not entirely sure who would bear the brunt of that, we believe the driver.
