With the end of Spring right on our heels and the start of the warmest part of the year ahead, it’s time to start looking for the best gear to keep you cool on your bike. When you’re riding red lights on the way home after a long day at work, some heavy Raleigh traffic is going to have you looking for any way possible to stay cool. You may have a breathable helmet, or a vented, mesh riding jacket but you still get home with soggy feet. Keeping your feet cool and still protected has always been a struggle, or used to be. Now, the 5” Lensfield Riding Boots are available at Tobacco Road H-D.
Previously, the 7” Lensfield was available, and there may be one or two left, but now the heat-resistant favorite is available in a shorter and even cooler option. The shorter height exposes more of your leg but still provides the necessary ankle support. What makes these boots stand out is their breathability and heat resistance. As part of the Vented Series from H-D, the Lensfield boots offer a cool nylon lining that quickly moves moisture outside the shoe keeping your feet “aired out.” However, one of these boots' advantages is their ability to keep heat from even getting into the boot in the first place. These boots are equipped with a heat-deflecting material on the leather that keeps the sun, and the bike, from heating up the foot! The Lensfield collection even boasts the ability to keep your feet up to 54 degrees cooler!
While their ability to keep your feet cool is the focal point, they’re also packed with plenty of other features that are sure to make them your new favorite riding boots. These boots are a full lace-up with zippers on the inside of each boot to make getting them on and off quick and easy. This way, you don’t have to fully lace up your boots each time you need to put them on quickly. The bottom of these boots are abrasion-resistant, slip-resistant, oil-resistant, and have a pretty mean tread.
If any of these sound like something that could save your feet this Summer, be sure to come see us at Tobacco Road Harley-Davidson and ask about the vented boots! And if you want the ultimate cooling experience, be sure to pair them with some H-D Performance Cool riding socks.
