Frequently Asked Questions
Are these the boots Maverick Viñales wore in 2019?
No. They are replica boots inspired by the design from his 2019 season with Monster Energy Yamaha. They are unconnected to the rider, the team or any sponsor, and the names only describe the design. Anyone comparing options should treat the product as a replica design rather than as equipment used by the rider.
What does EN 13634 cover?
EN 13634 is the European standard for protective motorcycle boots. It tests abrasion and impact cut resistance, tear resistance and sole bonding, and manufacturers may also test optional properties such as shin and ankle impact protection. A boot meets it only if it is labeled accordingly.
What protection does the product page list for these boots?
The product page lists a molded TPU ankle guard, a TPU shin protector, reinforced heel and toe protectors and replaceable TPU toe sliders. It does not state an EN 13634 rating, so the boots should not be described as certified. Riders who need a specific rating should check the label or ask the maker before ordering, and should not assume a level that the page does not state.
Can racing boots be made to measure?
The product page lists size selection and calf width customization, and states that these boots are not made-to-measure. A closer fit at the calf reduces pressure points on long sessions.
