24MX Motorbike Shoes:
Keeping your Feet Sweet

Anyone riding a bike without the correct footwear may be in for a whole lot of pain. Yet, while a day in the dirt demands full-feature MX boots, you'll also need suitable motorbike shoes when planning a short journey on the road. Luckily, for comfort and safety, motorbike shoes from 24MX offer many styles and price points. Moreover, you'll find a great pair of on or off-motorbike shoes whether you're feet are on the footpegs or the pavement. Plus, if you’re chilling after a ride or spending time in the workshop, the 24MX range of motorbike shoes is a great fit.

On-bike shoes

There may be circumstances when you're not riding flat out on the dirt and don’t feel the need for a full-size motocross boot. For instance, if the weather is warm or the journey is short but you still want to protect your feet. 24MX has a wide selection of motocross shoes that offer good protection. So what features should you search for in the quest for a perfect pair? The first element to look for in a motorbike shoe is ankle coverage. If there's no ankle protection, throwing your leg over a motorbike is a bad idea.

Reinforced heel areas should extend around the ankle. When possible, separate ankle protectors should also feature within a motorbike shoe. Moving towards the toe, if you find a motorbike shoe with a built-in gear shift pad, it's a bonus. Moreover, toe boxes should also provide some form of reinforcement. If you regularly experience wet weather, look for water-resistant finishes or a breathable waterproof membrane. This latter feature wicks moisture away from the foot to keep it more comfortable. For warmer weather, you'll also find motocross shoes with vented or breathable fabric. This material makes up the main chassis of the shoe. Finally, soles should be thick enough to offer shock absorption and preferably have oil and slip-resistant properties. Comfort insoles are also a good option and even better if they're removable for washing.

Off-bike shoes

You don't spend every hour of the day in the saddle. For these times, you need a motorbike shoe that leans more towards style than protection. In this case, 24MX has excellent feature-packed, off-motorbike shoes that are comfortable and cool. Motorbike shoes don't require ankle protection when not riding but it's not uncommon to find padding below the ankle line. You can choose the chassis of the motorbike shoes to reflect the climate with ventilated or weather-resistant finishes. The 24MX range covers everything from old-school converse style shoes to steel toe-cap shoes with tactical-style soles.

You’ll be spending time pounding the pavement. So check for features, including anatomical insoles or, better yet, removable or replaceable insoles. There's also an assortment of fastening methods offered within the motorbike shoe range. These include lace-up, slip-on or a combo of laces and Velcro straps. Whether you need a safety-featured riding shoe or feature-packed off-bike shoes, you can't put a foot wrong when choosing 24MX motocross shoes.
