Komine BK-300 touring motorcycle boots

The BK-300's handiest feature is the dial closure. Turn to tighten, pull to release, adjustable in one touch even with gloves on, no laces. The wire pulls evenly around the foot for a firm fit without pinching.

It has a waterproof membrane per the brand, keeping feet dry in light rain and on wet roads. Being low-cut, do not wade above the collar, and dry it after riding in the rain to keep it durable.

The BK-300 uses a 4E fit, meaning a wide last that suits high, broad feet that often feel tight in European-cut shoes. That makes all-day wear less tiring and long rides more comfortable.

The upper is microfiber: light, durable and easier to clean than real leather, and less bothered by water and road dust. The sole is cushioned and the sneaker shape walks comfortably off the bike, unlike a stiff boot.

The shoe has toe and ankle protection at level 1 per the brand, plus a shift wear pad and reflective details so vehicles behind see you at night. That is sensible protection for a sneaker-style touring shoe.

Straight talk so you choose right: with the low cut, ankle protection is moderate. If you ride rough roads, descend passes often or want maximum ankle hold, choose a tall boot. Genuine Komine at BigBike with a 12-month warranty.

Choose the BK-300 if you want a waterproof touring riding shoe with a handy dial closure and a sneaker shape that is easy to walk in. It is great for high, wide feet thanks to the 4E fit.

If you ride harsh long distances, descend passes often and need maximum ankle protection, choose a tall adventure boot like the RS Taichi RSS010 or LS2 Adventure Man. If you mostly ride hot city streets and want airflow, a summer mesh shoe is cooler.
