Check out our top picks for the best motorcycle shoes to buy for urban riding.
When it comes to motorcycle footwear, you often find riders sit somewhere between one or two extremes: bikers who want the very best protection from their feet, think big and bulky moon boots, and riders who can't be bothered with all that, and stick with their own comfortable pair of sneakers.
Urban motorcycle shoes sit very nicely in the middle, offering CE-certified protection and weather protection, with a style that perfectly compliments your everyday outfit.
