\"\"<\/a>While there is nothing wrong with army surplus para boots, re-purposed engineer boots and even cowboy boots \u2013 or indeed a massive range of bike boots of all shapes and sizes, most of which look silly on a Harley \u2013 there\u2019s absolutely no reason why we shouldn\u2019t be able to get a decent pair of boots that combine all of the elements we need on a motorcycle with a conventional style capable of breaking out of the tight constraints that we sometimes lock ourselves into.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was going to say like a pair of brogues, but let\u2019s not jump the gun: these are Rokker\u2019s Urban Racers not their Gentleman Racers, which do feature the decorative perforations \u2013 broguing \u2013 that gave brogues their name.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say like tweeds instead: a hard-wearing traditional mode of dress that has been a staple of outdoorsmen \u2013 and women, sorry ma\u2019am \u2013 long predating motorcycles and the specialist gear that we ride in.<\/p>\n

And these hand-made boots illustrate it wonderfully.<\/p>\n

They grip like a gecko despite having low-profile tread beneath the cushioned shock-absorbing insole, that \"\"<\/a>looks like it\u2019d be as comfortable on carpet as on concrete: you won\u2019t be getting complaints about leaving great chunks of dried mud \u2013 or worse still, wet \u2013 across the living room.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re made from the finest grades of leather \u2013 greased vintage cowhide \u2013 and use a Goodyear welt, so they could last you a lifetime.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll look comfortable with jeans, leather or even tweeds \u2013 whichever colour you pick \u2013 although the Gentleman Racer should look even better with the last.<\/p>\n

Yet they are waterproof and breathable, with heel, toe and shinbone protection and additional detailing on the inside of the foot, to protect the boot from an engine.<\/p>\n

And they take some breaking in, which is ironic bearing in mind that this pair in Antique Black \u2013 the darkest hue in this style \u2013 look like they\u2019ve been in the family for years and have been very well looked after.<\/p>\n

The sensible advice from Rokker\u2019s UK agent is to break them in around the house, but I found that they were fine to ride in almost immediately … just don\u2019t get too ambitious about walking too far or fast until it has formed to your foot.<\/p>\n

And when it has, you\u2019ve got boot for life: one that is ideal for the city and for much further beyond.<\/p>\n
