They don't come much more classic. If you prefer motorcycle shoes that are undercover in a "regular" shoe store, then these Hodge 2 are right up your alley. Just because it struck us how inconspicuous they were, we tried them on ourselves. And that turned out to be a good thing.
The Hodge 2 motorcycle shoes look completely classic. Ankle height, with laces and without many visual bells and whistles. Shiny cow leather is the main component. The only component, it seems. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The motor boot content is mainly situated underneath. The ankle cup is only visible a little bit, the heel reinforcement is tangible and if you know that the sole is also reinforced, then suddenly it all seems just a little bit more visible. Inconspicuous or not, all those elements are present. That means you can get on a motorcycle with the Segura Hodge 2 in perfect safety.
Where and when you do so will perhaps depend a little more on the design. The Hodge 2 motorcycle shoes are very civilized footwear. As in: office, work, dressy occasions and suit-and-tie nights. Segura may be French, but this leans heavily towards the Italian tradition of motorcycling to work.
Despite, or just because of that conspicuous inconspicuousness, it is striking how well the Hodge 2 fit. Firm, comfortable and offering confidence. The pull loop with reflective stripe is one of the sturdy kinds and the laces go all the way to the top, so they don't tend to snag around your gear lever or rear brake.
There's no accounting for taste or color. If you're looking for smooth leather motorcycle shoes with a classic look, here it is.
