Style & Substance

These 'sneaker' style boots caught our eye recently. They are from the brand iXS, a leading manufacturer of protective gear for motorcyclists and lifestyle sportswear. They hail from Germany. 

The trick here is to have a sneaker or, more accurately, a lifestyle brand feeling while still incorporating good levels of protection. This shoe has hard protection on the ankle and a reinforced toebox and heel counter. It has a high grip sole, perfect to wet days, and reflective detailing which is good for dark days! It looks like it is comfortable and 'broken-in' meaning you can wear it from day one. What's more it is CE certified.
