Priority & budget
Why Boots matters
★★★★★Suggested budget: 20%

Primary defense for feet/ankles/shins. Prioritize torsional protection and Enduro soles; allocate more budget here.

Fit matters

Comfort first for hard enduro

Long rides magnify small discomforts. Prioritize fit: if an item hurts or distracts after 2–3 hours, it’s the wrong size or setup. Return or exchange when possible. Remember, bodies and conditions differ.

Context
