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.
