The Falco Legion 2 bootdrips with urban Italian style, and is backed up by some weatherproof and armor features that makes it a bona-fide James Bond option.
ThisItalian-made leather boot boot is distinguished by its lack of laces, or traditional side zip.
Instead, Falco positions the zipper along the back of the boot, which allows for full-profile armor pucks at both the inside and outside of the ankle, and a clean look that works under any pant.
The resulting design is super clean, and makes a great city option for anyone looking to commute by bike to a place with a dress code, and not have to worry about packing a second pair of shoes.
This motorcycle-borne real-estate-agent special comes with reinforced toe and heel cups, D3O armor, and a waterproof/breathable membrane built-in for keeping dry and protected from the elements.
A hard-wearing molded rubber sole provides comfortand support, and because the lugged tread is inset from the perimeter of the sole, it gets away without looking like it has the great grip itdoes.
Make no mistake: this like manyhybrid options is a light-duty boot ideal forurbanmotorcyclists who might otherwise find themselves riding in footwear with zero motorcycle-specific protection.
Are there plenty of more protectivemoto footwearoptions out there? Absolutely. Are there many that could double as formal wear, whether the office, the DistinguishedGentlemen's Ride, or even a wedding? Not at all.
While it's tempting to ride in paddock-style boots (after all, they're "boots" shouldn't they be better than sneakers?) we take it as a professional obligation toeducate anyone looking to ride a motorcycle in a pair of, which were made for padding around, well, the paddock, on the farm, on foot. Not on a motorcycle.
While undeniably comfy and cool, any boot that can be slipped onas easily as an elastic-paneled Blundstonewill just as easilyfind itself ejected from the wearer in the event of an unexpectedget-off.
We'd rather have your boots stay on your feet for protection than see them being outlined in orange spray paint, 20 yards from the scene of an unexpected motorcycle accident.
