FOCUS ON THE… BOOTS!

YOU KNOW THOSE THINGS you walk around on – your feet, they are rather important and riding a motorcycle means you need to look after them even more. The worst thing that can happen is you grind your toes away, break your bones and smash your ankle into a million pieces. If you want to walk and function properly, then wearing proper motorcycle boots to provide protection is the only way to go. Trust me, I’ve seen what happens to someone’s feet/foot when they’ve ground them/it away while not wearing the right boots, it’s not pretty.
