Leatt Dirt Bike Boots
An essential piece of riding gear
Our Dirt bike boots allow riders to explore trails, rip motocross tracks, and share adventures with friends. All this while providing the highest level of safety for your ankles and feet. Every experienced Motocross rider out there knows the importance of getting their hands on (and feet into) the best pair of boots possible. At Leatt, we have put years of R&D, field testing, refinement, and scientific study into the perfect range of Dirt bike boots.
What makes a pair of Dirt bike boots great?
To qualify as a great pair of Dirt bike boots, there are certain boxes that any manufacturer needs to tick when conjuring up their unique brand of foot armor. Below are some of the most critical points.
Safety
The first and most important requirement is that they need to protect your feet, ankles, and shins from physical impacts. These impacts may arise from passing obstacles like branches or rocks while riding or from a crash. Whether you’re pulling out of the parking lot or going down the trail at 80mph.
Ankle Protection
Speaking of ankles. The second and equally important requirement is that they need to keep your ankles from twisting, moving laterally, and flexing in an unnatural way. The goal is to keep everything pointing in the rightdirection. While simultaneously giving you just the right amount of freedom to ride your bike and feel on the controls.
Control
Thirdly, as mentioned above, your boots are the point of contact for some critical Dirt bike controls. On one side, you need to apply the rear brake via a beefy, serrated brake pedal. While on the other side, you need to change gears a few hundred times each ride. A great pair of Dirt bike boots need to enable you to do this without any discomfort and without falling apart after just a few weeks of adventure-ing.
Grip
And if that punishment isn’t enough, the next requirement may make you appreciate your next pair of boots even more. When riding a Dirt bike, most of your body weight is on the foot pegs most of the time. Dirt bike boots need a sole made of suitable materials in just the right places. This gives you not only the perfect grip on your pegs but also confidence in your ride. The foot pegs literally dig in to the soft material on the sole of your boot, helping you to stayon top of and maneuver your bike. Considering all of the above, it’s obvious that any old pair of sneakers just won’t give you the necessary protectionand features you need for any off-road adventures in your future.

Ensuring a rider’s safety is, of course, the primary goal of any piece of Dirt bike protective gear.

Unique Features of Leatt Dirt Bike Boots
Flexlock
The Flex Locksystem reduces forces to the ankle by up to 37% and the knee by up to 35%. In fact, the ground-breaking FlexLock feature on the Leatt 5.5 boot resulted from a 3-year project. The conception of this unique feature required long-term development, refinement, and testing by international Pro athletes.
Slidelock Velcro
This amazing feature is just about unanimously hailed by riders everywhere as a must-have for all Dirt bike boots in the future. An industry first, the Slide lock feature is best described as a “one-way Velcro system”. Consequently, this gives you a great seal at the top of the boot–first time, every time.
Bike Grip
The inner side of our boots–where boot meets bike, is flat and grippy. It’s manufactured from a unique rubber material for next-level grip on your bike frame and, as a result, great bike feel.
Soles
For a seemingly unspectacular and straightforward component of Dirt bike boots, we poured a lot of innovation into a part that rarely gets to be in the spotlight: the sole. Firstly, the materials and design of the sole ensure your feet stay planted on the pegs. Secondly, our soles have an extended, replaceable foot peg riding zone. Therefore, whether you ride more on the arch of your foot or more towards the toe box, you can replace the part of the sole that takes the brunt of the punishment. After that, you’ll get a good-as-new, grippy sole to give you further mileage from your Leatt Boots. Thirdly, Leatt boot soles have a built-in relief cut to give you a much better pedal feel and feedback from the bike. And lastly, with the help of Jonny Walker, we have developed an Enduro-specific boot with a customized enduro-style lug sole. This will give you the grip you need on rough or loose terrain in case you need to get off and push your bike over obstacles or up a hill.
Replaceable parts
As alluded to already, you also get a big range of replacement parts for all Leatt Dirt bike boots. Thus, if parts wearout over time, you can replace those specific parts and save on the need to get an entirely new pair.
Ankle Protection
Your ankles are one of the major body parts that take a lot of g-forces between thebody and the Dirt bike due to hitting jumps and bumps on motocross tracks or trails. Not surprisingly, ankle injuries are among the most common Dirt bike injuries around. Needless to say, these facts make Dirt bike boots a crucial yet often overlooked piece of gear for your protection. The Leatt range of Dirt bike boots incorporates the following ultra-modern features. First off, 3D-shaped impact foam around the ankle area for added protection. Next up is a clever heel grip ankle design to minimize heel float. And last but most importantly, as already mentioned above, the Flexlock system found in the 5.5 boot. In short, this technology allows users to adjust lower boot flex according to personal preference, in addition to locking out the sideways ankle movement.
Comfortable Dirt Bike boots???
As you slide your foot inside your brand new Leatt boot, you instantly feel the plush interior and quality of the materials used. Almost like putting your feet inside your favorite pair of slippers. Bringing you a great feeling of the frame, gear lever, and rear brake, these boots instantly feel so good. Furthermore, our range of Dirt bike boots offers ample width in the toe box area. Even if you're a rider with wide feet. A low tow box also means that gear shifts happen quickly and smoothly. One more feature that will impress you is the breathable, moisture-wicking 3d mesh liner. This helps to keep everything dry and sanitary.
Manufacturing Materials
We’ve used a combination of fit-for-purpose materials in different parts of the boot to balance safety and comfort. Below are some of the standout examples: Aluminium buckles with an over-lock system and a stainless-steel base for a secure lock on the 5.5 boots. These buckles are high quality, durable, and give a very secure feeling once engaged. All soles are steel shank reinforced and CE certified. A Microfiber base material, leather over the toe box area, and of course, hard Thermoplastic Polyurethaneto offer outstanding stability, durability, and impact protection. All soles feature a dual-zone design. This means they are manufactured from 2 different compounds. Onehard, and the other softer. This partnership translates into excellent durability as well as a more grippy areawhere the boots meet the foot pegs.
