A2Difficulty 3/5

What footwear is recommended for protective motorcycle riding and good control of the foot controls?

Correct answer

Motorcycle boots that protect the foot and ankle and allow good control of the foot controls.

Motorcycle boots should protect the foot and ankle, fit securely and allow the foot controls to be operated easily. The sole should provide grip. A high heel that hinders foot support or pedal operation is unsuitable. Footwear must be closed and cover the entire foot, as required by Article 118.
