Summer riding shoes here cover perforated leather, sneaker-style riding shoes, entry-level footwear and race boots for track sessions. BigBike carries ILM and Komine in Ho Chi Minh City. Start with where you ride, how often rain catches you, and how much ankle, heel and toe coverage you want.
BK-101 closes with a wide hook-and-loop strap, so there are no laces to catch near the shift lever. The toe is reinforced, and a shift pad covers the gear-change area. Reflective details are also built in. For city riding, that simple closure is the point. Dust and sand gradually reduce strap grip, and the low collar does not give the ankle coverage of a tall boot.
Manufacturer information lists a water-resistant membrane on UB305 and a water-resistant coating on BK-101. The BK-101 collar sits low, so rain can still run from riding pants into the shoe opening. The entry option and race boot in this category are not water-resistant. For hours of rain, add rain gear over BK-101. Water-resistant is the right expectation here.
BRC1 is a tall race boot with large TPU pieces at the shin, heel, toe and shift area, plus a side zipper and quick latch. The product page lists BRC1 at CE EN 13634 Level 1 from its label. Ventilation suits hot track sessions. The boot is stiffer and heavier on foot, and long walks are uncomfortable. It is not water-resistant, so rain gets in. Pick it for track and sportbike use, not daily city riding.
Street-focused choices in this category include perforated leather, sneaker-style designs and entry footwear for riders moving up from canvas shoes or sandals. Race boots belong at the track and on sportbikes. For everyday Saigon use, street footwear makes more sense than a stiff, heavy race boot. Motorcycle footwear reinforces the ankle, heel and toe, which helps reduce injury; no gear offers total protection.
M1006 is the entry point for riders moving from canvas shoes or sandals to footwear with more coverage. The product page lists its label at the basic level of CE EN 13634, the European motorcycle footwear standard. M1006 is not water-resistant and is for dry weather. Carry a plastic rain over-shoe if rain arrives. For faster road riding, move up to a tall boot.
UB305 uses perforated cowhide with air paths, so it feels less stuffy through a full day here than closed leather. A YKK side zipper gets the shoe on quickly after the laces are set. Real leather is heavier than textile and needs cleaning and conditioning. An ankle cup, reinforced toe and heel add coverage. Its grooved rubber sole grips wet pavement better, but dragging a foot at stops wears it faster. This is a street shoe, not an off-road boot.
BigBike has operated since 2014 at 79/30/52 Au Co, Hoa Binh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. If you wear larger EU sizing, bring your riding socks and try on in-store. Walk a few steps, then sit on a stationary bike. That reveals whether the toe catches the shift lever.
