Women’s Waterproof Motorcycle Boots

Not Just for Men

With increasing numbers of women buying and riding their own cycles, manufacturers are getting in on the game by selling motorcycle boots especially for women. You no longer have to figure out what size boot you wear in men’s shoes. Now, you have the option of buying boots made especially for women’s feet. This is important because not only are women’s feet generally smaller than men’s, but they also tend to be narrower and shaped slightly differently.

Features of Waterproof Boots

The most important feature of waterproof boots is that they keep your feet dry. Still, don’t feel you have to sacrifice style for utility. Many motorcycle boot manufacturers who create footwear for women understand that women want to feel fashionable. Although you’ll spot a lot of metal and buckles on motorcycle boots, boots geared for the feminine set are generally not as clunky or heavy as men’s boots.

What to Look For

You might be confused by the terminology in waterproof gear. Water repellent and water resistant may sound like the same thing, but they aren’t.

Water resistant is usually better at keeping actual water completely out because the fabric is woven tightly to prevent water from seeping in. A water repellent product is normally just coated on the outside so that water rolls off. In a serious storm, this coating may not be sufficient to keep your feet dry. In addition to wearing your water resistant boots, you may want to consider waterproof socks, which will add layers of protection in keeping your feet dry.

Good traction is essential in not allowing you to slip on wet surfaces. The lining should wick moisture away from your skin.

All of these factors are important not only to keep your feet dry, but for the overall health of your feet.

Styles of Women's Waterproof Motorcycle Boots

Styles of women’s boots are similar to men’s. There are boots that cover the entire lower leg and boots that only go over the ankle. Don’t worry about a lack of buckles because the signature buckles are all over these boots. Some styles have only one buckle, but many of them sport metal all the way up the leg.

Serious motorcyclists not only care deeply about their bikes and helmets, but also about their footwear. To get a quality pair of waterproof boots, look to spend a bare minimum of around $100. A good pair of boots that will last you are going to cost much closer to $200.

Don’t think these fashionable black boots are only for riding your chopper. They’re for anytime you want to project a tough but womanly image. Many women love the way they look in denim and a leather jacket and like giving off a strong, yet sexy vibe.

Unisex Boots

If you can’t find a boot you like in the women’s category, you can try shopping for unisex shoes. This way, you’ll have more options if you know what size in men’s shoes you wear.
