Primary defense for feet/ankles/shins. Prioritize torsional protection and Enduro soles; allocate more budget here.
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.
We personally recommend top choices here because boots has outsized safety and control impact. Allocate more budget, verify certifications, and choose proven models. Still prioritize fit: comfort maintains control on long technical days.
