The Ventuma Surround GTX motorcycle boots by Held have derived part of their name from the GORE-TEX SURROUND technology used to guarantee dry, fresh and comfortable feet at any given time.
Their appearance underlines that the ankle-high Held Ventuma Surround GTX motorcycle boots were designed for touring riders who don’t mind revealing that they are motorcyclists. It’s hard to confuse this motorcycle shoe with a sneaker or army boot. It’s more likely that Held created this with a shorter version of a high motorcycle boot in mind. The hight of the shaft is about 20 centimetres, the same height that warrants the effect of the waterproof GORE-TEX SURROUND construction when you put on these motorcycle shoes.
The outer layer of the Ventuma Surround GTX is made of a specific artificial fibre, wear-resistant, sturdy and protective. With a shinbone protector – with the focus on the bottom half of the shinbone – and an integrated heel and toe reinforcement, this construction beams durability. The Vibram non-slip sole is more proof of that. Take a look at the recesses in the sole, which might suggest some form of suspension but these are actually air canals that allow moisture and vapours to exit the motorcycle shoes.
Getting in and out of the remarkable Ventuma Surround GTX is quick and easy. The inside-zip is covered at the top by the shinbone protector that ends in a Velcro strip used to tighten the motorcycle shoe right above the ankle. This is also where the zip pull is hidden so to not damage your motorcycle.
