Motorcycle gear tends to favor technical designs, and rightly so. With protection and performance topping many a rider’s priorities list, manufacturers must deliver safety in a stylish package. German gear maker Held knows as much, but it also acknowledges that modern boots need to suit casual situations as well. That’s where the brand’s Saxton boots come into play, and it meets rider’s needs with equal parts fashion and function.
The work-style footwear calls upon cowhide for its core construction. The textile interior ups the comfort quotient, while the Gore-Tex waterproof treatment seals water out during the rainy season. As a classically designed boot, the metal eyelets and laces adhere to conventions, but the side zippers allow users to easily slip in and out of the Saxtons. However, Held equips the model with rear pull loops in case owners need a little assistance.
