Lightweight, hiking-style riding boots from LS2 combine certified protection with all-day comfort; on the bike and long after you’ve parked it Most riding boots are built for the bike and merely tolerated off it; the walk to the café, round the race paddock or to the viewpoint becomes an uncomfortable clump. Taking the comfort and spec of a hiking boot, and adding the certified protection needed on the bike, LS2’s new Trekker offers peace of mind riding, and the comfort to keep walking long after you’ve stopped. Comfort starts underfoot, with an ergonomic, sweat-absorbing insole and a dual-density outsole.
