The authors are :

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).
