Belstaff has been around for almost a century and has built its brand on producing rugged, functional and especially in the last quarter centurystylishly refined gear for discerning motorcyclists and pedestrians alike.

And damnit if they havent done it again with this Duration boot.

Constructed from water-repellent full-grain leather, the Duration boot has reinforced toe and heel cups and ankle protection built into both sides of each boot.

This classic black Chelsea style boot goes on and off with a side zipper, which is secured in place at the top of the boot by a Velcro leather tab.

Keep it simple, stupid. This dapper black boot provides support and ankle protection on the bike, but can be worn off the bike, too. And its got a sturdy Vibram sole and is waterproof thats to a breathable membrane built into the design.

• Water repellent full grain leather
• Ankle protection on both sides
• Heel and toe reinforcement
• 100% waterproof and breathable membrane
• Zipped opening
• Vibram rubber sole with rock-grip and anti-slip
• Embossed Belstaff phoenixlogo
• Gear pad reinforcement

*Note: A true Chelsea style boot, with elasticated side panels, a la a Blundstone brand paddock boot, is a terrible candidate for riding a motorcycle with. Its the elasticated side panels that kill it. Ambling around the farm, sure. But suffice it to say that if its possible to remove a boot with a hard kick, then some poor highway patrol officer might end up circling said boot with orange spray-paint, 20 yards from the scene of the motorcycle accident.
