Editing Motorcycle boot (section)

==Motocross boots==
Motocross boots are designed specifically for off-road, [[motocross]] (MX) or [[all-terrain vehicle]] riding. To help prevent a rider's feet and legs from being injured, motocross boots are typically much stiffer than regular motorcycle boots or [[racing boots]], but are more flexible than [[ski boots]] by comparison.

Modern motocross boots are usually nearly knee-high (about 16&nbsp;inches in height) and made from a combination of leather, metal, plastic and/or man-made composite materials to create a very form-fitting, comfortable and tight boot. To allow a rider to easily get the boot on or off, the shaft of a motocross boot is designed to open lengthwise.  Multiple adjustable straps (usually 3 to 4) are deployed along the foot, ankle and shaft of the boot to allow the rider to tighten the boot to their preferences and comfort.  A curved plastic or composite plate covers the shin of the boot to protect the rider from debris that may be thrown from the front wheel of the motorcycle.
