Winter blues beaters: Best winter motorcycle boots

As we head into winter, those of us who ride year-round often turn our attention to biking kit that will provide the best warmth and weather protection, and a good quality pair of winter motorcycle boots is fundamental.

All-season textile jackets, trousers or suits are of course also important, along with winter gloves, neck warmers, thermals and perhaps even heated gear. Keeping your core warm and dry is vital, but so is looking after your extremities, especially when it comes to maintaining machine control. Your hands and feet are particularly vulnerable to cold and wet and if not protected adequately, it can make a trip miserable.

To guard against that you need either winter motorcycle boots, or at least multi-season boots that are not only waterproof, most likely via the use of a membrane, to keep out both rain and road spray, but also have thermal liners or insoles to keep your tootsies warm.

There’s a huge choice of winter motorcycle boots available, covering all budgets and styles and even for men and women. But which are the best? What styles and specifications are out there and what do you get for your money? To help you decide, here’s our pick of some of our favourites.
