2023 UPDATE: Inventory of the most protective motorcycle high boots (EN 13634 : 2222) in June 2023
This article lists the high motorcycle boots that I found on the manufacturers’ websites, and whose level of protection is at the maximum of the current standard: 2222.
There is a wide variety of styles, most models are unisex but there are at least 2 very feminine models. The first prices are around 100 euros (2 OJ models and the only DXR model at this level which happens to be a women’s high boot).
I put the Motoblouz/Dafy/MotardInn link and an idea of prices when possible.
(Important note: I don’t get a penny from purchases made on these sites, the links are there for information only! If you liked the article, you can buy me a coffee by following the link at the top of the article :) )
I’ll cover the most protective shoes/short boots (1222) in another article.
Edit of 01/10/2022: Added Vinted and Leboncoin. links.
Edit of 03/11/2022: Addition of Oxford.
The EN 13634:2017 standard
The European standard EN 13634:2017 requires to display on the labels of motorcycle shoes/boots precise information on their level of protection:
- The first number indicates the height of the boot1 (1: low, 2: high), it is especially interesting in addition to the next 3 that assess the level of protection of the shoe for a specific hazard;
- Abrasion resistance2 ;
- Puncture resistance3 ;
- Resistance to torsion/crushing4.
Today only 2 levels exist for each, 1 and 2.
Common additional certifications :
- IPA : Malleolus protection
- IPS : Protection of the tibia
- WR : Resistance to water penetration
- FO : Resistance to hydrocarbons
Note on previous versions of EN 13634:
If you come across a boot with this certification with a year lower than 2017, the shaft height was not mentioned, the 3 numbers shown are the 3 levels of protection._
Note on manufacturers and transparency
Few manufacturers are transparent on their websites about the certification their boots have received. The information is often missing or partial, and even from those who provide it, it is often lost in a PDF file or an image.
The ones where I found this information are :
- DXR (Motoblouz): The PDF “certificate of compliance” usually contains the certification level;
- FORMA (American site): The European site doesn’t give any info, but the certifications are visible on the US site - too bad because FORMA has many very protective models;
- FURYGAN: The PDF “data sheet” sometimes contains the certification level (note: No 2222 models) ;
- IXON: Certification is present as an image (note: No 2222 models) ;
- REV’IT: Certification is clearly indicated in the text of the page;
- OJ: Certification is clearly indicated in the text of the page;
- OXFORD: Certification is sometimes indicated in the text of the page.
The list (plethora) of other manufacturers that I have looked at but whose sites do not publish the certification levels of their boots can be found in the appendix at the end of the document.
If one of them evolves or if you know of others, do not hesitate to tell me in comments, and I will add them to the next version of this document.
