The 10 Best ATV Riding Boots

The Forma Adventure Low (about $239) have a mid-height design that most riders find to be the perfect balance of safety and comfort. They feature a Dry-Tex waterproof lining and are extremely stylish with their vintage-looking, full-grain, oiled leather uppers.

The O'Neal Elements (appx. $109) have a four-buckle closure system that ensures you can get a nice snug fit, while also being easy to unlatch when you want to pull them off. An injection-molded plastic shin plate should do a nice job of protecting you in the event of a tumble.

The Sidi Adventure 2 (around $400) feature an aggressive sole that provides a nice amount of traction both on and off your vehicle. A Gore-Tex membrane lining runs almost all the way to the top, meaning they do an excellent job of keeping your feet dry as you ride through puddles.

The Alpinestars Tech 3 (appx. $200) were built with a focus on flexibility, durability, and abrasion resistance, so they should cover all the bases when it comes to off-roading. They have a synthetic gaiter to prevent water and dirt entry, plus self-aligning, micro-adjustable buckles.

While some find the Forma Adventure Off-Road (appx. $279) a bit too stiff, others may like the level of support they provide. They also offer a high degree of protection, with molded plastic shin and ankle plates, as well as a shock-resistant EVA midsole.

Coming from one of the most well-known names in motor sports, the Fox Racing Comp 5 (around $149) are more affordable than one would expect, while also being very well made. They are a good choice for the entry-level wearer who hasn't spent much time in this type of footwear.

The Italian-made Gaerne Balance Pro-Tech (around $267) are strategically crafted with the fewest number of separate leather pieces as possible. This results in less potentially-weak seams, a more supple feeling, and a shorter break-in period.

The Power Gear Motorsports Racing (about $85) won't win many points for style or durability, but they are very soft and supple, which makes them a pleasure to walk around in when off the vehicle. This also means they won't hinder your foot flexibility when riding.

The Axo Drone (about $120) have a wide toe box and long instep panel that allow them to fit a large range of calf and foot sizes. They also feature a steel shank between the insole and outsole that admirably protects the underside of the foot and helps to distribute the load.

If you can't stand the large, bulky boots that most riders wear, you may appreciate the Joe Rocket Big Bang 2.0 (about $99). Understandably, they don't offer the same level of protection, but they are water resistant, have a nicely-padded ankle cuff, and feature reinforced stitching.
