Stylmartin Rocket motorcycle boots

A short post to give the features of the Rocket boots from Stylmartin because I realized that they were very hard to find on the internet.

In summary:

  • Shank height: Level 2 (high)1
  • Abrasion resistance: Level 2 (12 s zone B, 2.5 s zone A)
  • Puncture resistance: Level 1
  • Lateral stiffness: Level 1

For the record, I’ve owned these boots for 2 years and I’m very happy with them: they ride high, they are waterproof and well built (thick but comfortable leather, laces adjustment protected by a leather band, side zip opening, etc.), the soles grip surprisingly well, and they age well, as shown in the picture above.

I simply maintain them from time to time with Saphir Universal Cream (ex. at Valmour).


  1. Standard CE EN 13634-2017 :

    1. Height of the front/rear calf shaft :
      Measured from the ground (source: CE Standards) :
      1. Level 1: 10.3 cm/6.4 cm below 36, up to 12.1 cm/7.3 cm above 45.
      2. Level 2: 16.2 cm/11.3 cm below 36, up to 19.2 cm / 13.1 cm above 45.
    2. Abrasion:
      Number of seconds to cross upper+lining with a 60 grit abrasive belt running at 8 m/s (zone B = high risk, zone A = rest of shoe) (source: Motoservice):
      1. Level 1: 1.5 s zone A, 5 s zone B
      2. Level 2: 2,5 s zone A, 12 s zone B
    3. Perforation/Cutting:
      A blade is thrown at 2.8 m/s on rod+liner and penetration is measured (source: Tcxboots):
      1. Level 1: < 25 mm
      2. Level 2: < 15 mm
    4. Stiffness:
      Measure of the force required to deform the sole by 2 cm (source: Tcxboots):
      1. Level 1: > 1 kN
      2. Level 2: > 1.5 kN
