This waterproof Aviator motorcycle shoe lends itself to both intensive use on and off the bike. Stylishly Italian, with a classic touch, you can just as easily walk through the city or to the office, even though the name suggests that you might as well look for it in aviation. Combined with (motor)jeans you can create a look that fits anywhere.
The Aviator complies with all safety regulations (EN13634). With an integrated High-Tex® membrane on the inside and full grain leather on the outside, the Aviator is pretty good as far as moisture control is concerned. A small note: 'waterproof', in the sense of 'keeping your feet dry under water' is something different. An ankle-high shoe close to the ground and just behind the front wheel, can hardly be called 100% waterproof. Although the occasional shower will not be a problem.
The comfortable Aviator is assisted in its safety by the patented D3O® material of the ankle cup. D3O® focuses on efficient shock absorption and protection, combined with exceptional wearing comfort and maximum flexibility. A sturdy, oil and petrol resistant vulcanized rubber sole with plenty of grip ensures comfortable dual use, on and off the bike.
Opening and closing the boot is quick and easy, thanks to the 'dual-zip' system, where you don't have to tie the laces every time, but just use the two zippers on the left and right.
The higher the fashion level - and the level of ‘we don’t really look like motorcycle shoes’ -, the smaller the chance your leather shoes have a full-fledged shifting reinforcement. No problem on a scooter but on a motorbike, the multitude of shifting will quickly cause wear and tear. A shame of the leather shoes because this “wear and tear” will not often be incorporated in the warranty conditions.
You’d better take precautions, give yourself a hand or a foot in this case and add an extra layer to your leather motorcycle shoe or your gear lever. There are a number of options available in our range.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
