With the half-long Max Sport GTX, Daytona presents a motorcycle boot that has its best assets hidden in the base and even seems to keep scoring like that. No coincidence, because the waterproof Max Sport GTX is a steady, easy and comfortable motorbike boot.
Of course, they protect. Reliably. To start, the short shaft expands over many army boots, which means that the ankles benefit from the motorbike-specific features. In the front, there is even room to spare for a shin protector in latex foam. Less visible but equally prominent are the innersole that’s been reinforced with plastic and a galvanised steel reinforcement, the ankle cup and the toe protectors.
The entire interior is ‘sturdy’ which is not coincidentally placed between quotation marks: a special foam with open cells and an intermediate sole made of polyurethane foam create a sort of all-round protective buffer. It gives the Max Sport GTX a robust appearance that surprisingly doesn’t hinder you from walking a mile or two. The soft rim at the top, the sturdy rubber sole and the pleasant fabric lining have a lot to do with that, just like the full-grain leather that makes up almost the entire exterior shell.
Stepping in and out of the Daytona is fun. Two zippers and a type of sock-in-shoe create a snug and secure accommodation for your feet, that will enjoy staying there. Not in the least because thanks to the rubber sole, they are elevated about 6 centimetres from what they are used to.
Gear panel, reflective elements in the back, the flap-with-shinbone reinforcement that allows you to adjust the shaft with Velcro, these are all pluses that turn this motorcycle boot into a very interesting option.
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. We put the best tips and tricks on this maintenance page.
