With a flexible microfibre upper, air mesh lining and an innovative Air Pump System (APS) ­ providing extra cushioning by using pressure from the foot to pump air into the footbed ­ day long comfort is assured.

TPU Dual Flex and anti-shock EVA midsole combines flexibility when walking with protection when riding and the magnesium toe sliders are replaceable. They’re available in sizes 38-47 in black/silver, RRP £129.99.

The Northwind is an all-season option, combining the features of touring boot with the comfort of the ankle-length design.

Their leather and Cordura upper, Drytex tubular lining, APS footbed, and air ventilation pockets, keep the wearer dry and comfortable on long journeys, whether riding into town or across the Continent.

Velcro and lace closure eliminates potential pressure points and provides a secure fit.

Protection is taken care of by TPU protection at vulnerable areas and Forma¹s TPU Dual Flex, anti-shock EVA midsole.

Triple density, anti-slip and oil-resistant soles ensure a firm grip on the pegs and sure footing at rest.

They’re available in black, sizes 36-48, RRP £114.99.

Both the Diablo and Northwind are CE-certified to the EN13634 standard for protective footwear for professional motorcycle riders.
