Fabio Quartararo, the 2021 MotoGP world champion, is French, so the French Grand Prix at Le Mans is his home round. The  from Leather Collection are a replica of the black Yamaha-livery boots he wore in 2024. This guide covers how the boots are built, what the protective parts are, how the standard for motorcycle boots works and how the replica relates to the 2024 race weekend.
Key Takeaways
- The boots are a race replica in black, matching the 2024 Yamaha livery, and independent of the rider and the team.
- Construction listed: 1.2 to 1.3 mm milled cowhide, TPU guards at ankle, heel and shin, replaceable toe sliders and a dual-rubber race sole.
- The product details do not name a protection standard. EN 13634 is the standard that applies to motorcycle boots, so check for it on any boot.
- Quartararo retired from the 2024 French GP after a crash, so the boots should be read as race-style kit and not as a performance claim.
The Rider and the 2024 French GP
Quartararo is from Nice, became the first French rider to win the premier-class world title in 2021 and rode for the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team in 2024. The MotoGP race of the 2024 French motorcycle Grand Prix took place on 12 May 2024 at the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans. Jorge Martin won ahead of Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia, and Quartararo did not finish after a crash.
The boots are therefore a replica inspired by his Yamaha race kit of that season, and the black, blue and purple color options follow the 2024 Yamaha livery colors. They have no affiliation with the rider or the team.
Construction and Protective Parts
The upper is 1.2 to 1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide, hand-stitched, with an Airtech breathable lining and a YKK coil zipper on the side. The listing describes the following protective parts:
- Ankle: a TPU molded ankle guard that the seller says is meant to limit inversion; no test result or standard is given.
- Heel: a reinforced TPU protector that the listing says absorbs and distributes impact energy; no test result or standard is given.
- Toe: replaceable TPU toe sliders on the high-wear area.
- Shin: TPU molded guards with integrated vents.
An integrated ankle strap with a TPU protector closes over the zipper to hold the boot in place.
Sole, Ventilation and Fit
The sole is a dual-rubber race sole that is oil- and gasoline-resistant, with targeted grip zones for the footpeg during cornering and braking. Air vents at the shin allow airflow on long track sessions. For a boot with a fixed race-shaped ankle, size by trying it with the riding socks and checking that the heel stays down when the foot flexes, because a boot that slips loses the benefit of its protectors.
What Standard Applies to Motorcycle Boots
EN 13634 is the European standard for protective footwear for motorcycle riders. According to SATRA, it covers upper height, seam and bond strength, abrasion and impact-cut resistance, and optional tests such as impact protection for the shin and ankle that a manufacturer may choose to claim. The Quartararo replica listing does not state a certification, so a rider who needs a certified boot for track-day rules should confirm the rules of the organizer and ask for documentation before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these boots made by Fabio Quartararo or Yamaha?
No. They are a replica inspired by the boots Quartararo wore in 2024, built to follow the black Yamaha livery colors. Leather Collection makes them independently, with no affiliation to the rider, Yamaha or MotoGP, and they are described here only as a replica inspired by his race kit.
Do the boots meet the EN 13634 standard?
The product details reviewed for this guide do not state a certification. EN 13634 is the European standard for motorcycle boots, covering abrasion, impact-cut resistance, upper height and optional ankle and shin impact tests. A rider who needs a certified boot should ask for the documentation before buying.
What protective parts do the boots include?
The listing describes a TPU molded guard at the ankle, a reinforced TPU heel protector, replaceable TPU toe sliders and TPU molded shin guards with vents. An integrated ankle strap with a TPU protector closes over the side zipper. No protective part removes risk, so fit and riding conditions still matter.
What colors do the boots come in?
The listing offers black, blue and purple. Black is described as the race replica of the 2024 Yamaha livery boots. Color choice is cosmetic and does not change the construction, so riders who care mainly about function can pick the color that matches the rest of their gear.
