Popular Motorcycle Boot Brands
We have reviewed hundreds of helmets over the year at WBW so we know a thing or two about which motorcycle boot brands our editors love. We also see the analytics on the site so we know which brands get the more views and attention from our readers. Between consumer interest, our editor’s opinions and generally who we think is really innovating in the boot and footcase space, here are the most popular brands at the moment.
Alpinestars makes technical, high performance protective gear for Motorcycle, Motocross, and Auto Racing and more recently for action sports like Adventure/Touring, Mountain Biking and Cycling.
It all started in 1963 when a leather craftsman by the name of Sante Mazzarolo began creating the first Alpinestars branded products.
At that time a new sport called motocross was establishing itself. Low and behold Mazzarolo invented a new type of footwear that would meet the protective needs and demands of this beautiful yet brutal form of athleticism. Since then, Alpinestars Boots have become ubiquitous in street riding and track day events. The boot quality is high, prices are reasonable given that quality and the boots perform well in tough conditions.

In 1960 SIDI began as a craftsman’s workshop manufacturing mountain sports footwear. It wasn’t till the 1970’s that SIDI began making cycling footwear and boots for off-road and on-road motorcycling.
SIDI is a top brand and market leader in both cycling and motorcycle boots and with over 50 years of experience you can tell why. Known for their technology and innovation, Sidi boots were known to do things well before others and that are taken for granted today by riders. For example, SIDI was the first with cam-lock off road boot buckle systems, inner ankle protection and sole replacement systems to name a few. SIDI boots aren’t cheap but they are worth every penny if you can afford them, they are the cream of the crop.

The tagline says it all. A Focus on Boots. The team at TCX is all about boots and that comes across in the motorcycle boots they make.
TCX manufactures leather motorcycle boots (and other clothing and gear too). The company mission is “to offer the maximum safety to the end users through the realization of high innovative and protective products aimed to satisfy all end users needs”. It is a bold claim but the Italian company backs it up with high quality boots we’ve been fans of for years. TCX Boots are a premium quality brand with a solid range of boots across many riding types and styles.

“Dainese uses innovation and new technology to create protective gear and clothing for motorcycle, bike, equestrian and winter sports” according to the Dainese official website.
Started in 1972 the team there makes not only motorcycle boots but all types of other protective gear (back protectors, gloves, airbags and more). A very focused R&D outfit, Dainese was the first to develop a super cool instant-deployment airbag suit and jacket system – it basically blows up like an inflatable balloon to protect you in a crash.
On the boot side of the house, the team at Dainese makes boots for touring, street and track. The unique mix of technical features and style elements make Dainese motorcycle boots a staple among European motorcycle enthusiasts such as Ducati, Triumph or BMW.

With a focus on innovation and well designed motorcycle clothing, REV’IT knows how to make cool boots.
We love the way REV’IT describes themselves so we wanted to include that here: “Whether it is setting a personal best lap time on the track, braving roads less traveled or navigating through the streets of your favorite city while knowing you are properly protected, it is our goal to provide you with the gear that enables you to follow your dreams on two wheels. It is why we started our company in 1995, and it is what still moves us today.”
