Inventory of the most protective motorcycle shoes, sneakers and short boots (EN 13634 : 1222) in June 2023

(This post was automatically translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator)

# Last update: 12/11/2023 #

Update of my inventory of motorcycle sneakers/shoes/short boots that meet the maximum EN 13634 : 1222 standard.

I’ve changed the layout to arrange the equipment by price rather than by brand.

I’ve also added various indications to help you make your choice: place of manufacture when known, waterproofness, type advertised (just for info, as there’s no particular cut for boots).

I put the Motoblouz/Dafy/Fcmoto link when the product was available at the time of writing.

(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 :) )

Some slightly less protective models are listed here, if the choice available isn’t to your liking: Inventory of the “almost” most protective motorcycle shoes, sneakers and short boots (EN 13634:1122, EN 13634:1212, EN 13634:1221) in June 2023.

The same exercise for high boots: Inventory of the most protective motorcycle high boots (EN 13634 : 2222) in June 2023.

List of updates:
- 12/11/2023: complete revision of the layout, new links, etc.
- 13/09/2023: complete revision of the layout, new links, etc.


Reminders about EN 13634:

This standard requires motorcycle boots and shoes to display precise information on their level of protection:

  • The first number indicates the height of the boot 1 (1: low, 2: high), and is particularly interesting as a complement to the next 3, which assess the boot’s level of protection for a specific hazard;
  • Abrasion resistance2 ;
  • Puncture resistance3 ;
  • Torsion/crushing resistance4.

Today, only 2 levels exist for each, 1 and 2.

Common additional certifications :

  • IPA: Malleolus protection
  • IPS: Shin protection
  • WR: Water penetration resistance
  • FO: Resistance to hydrocarbons
