USEFUL INFORMATION
PROTECTIVE MOTORCYCLE FOOTWEAR
These boots should be considered an Personal Protective Equipment (P .P.E.) since they have been designed and developed to supply, even
if limited, protection of feet and lower leg area.
SIGNIFICANCE OF CE BRANDING
CE branding on boots indicates the conformity of the products based on the European Directive 89/686/CEE (and subsequent
amendments). More precisely, it satisfies essential healthcare and security requirements of European Directive 89/68 6/CEE, attachment II.
In particular, this compliance has been verified and certified through CE certification and lab tests according to the corresponding standard
EN13634: 2015 by the Notified Body N° 0498 RICOTEST (Via Tione 9, 37010 Pastrengo – VR).
RISK/PROTECTION LEVELS
These boots offer protection against adverse environmental conditions without weakening the rider´s ability in maintaining full control and
foot command of the motorcycle. Additionally, they also provide a certain degree of mechanical protection against impact on foot in case
of accidents. It is possible to wear other P .P .E.
Together with the footwear in order to further increase the protection on specific parts of the body, for example, shin guards can be worn
for better protection of that area.
WARNING: NO BOOT CAN GUARANTEE TOTAL SAFETY!
INTENDED USE
To be used by motorcyclist for sports purposes (training and professional use) and for general street/road and professional use.
USE RESTRICTIONS
Boots and garments incorrectly used, in poor condition, wrong size, worn out or defective may increase risk of the injuries. All footwear
responds to security standards only if correctly worn and in perfect condition. It is the rider´s responsibility to care for the boots and to
eventually replace boots that have been damaged, deformed or excessively used. It is the rider´s responsibility to wear appropriate boots
according to the type of use and riding style and to make sure that all fastening systems (velcro, zippers, strings, straps, etc.) are correctly
regulated to assure proper fitting. Changes in weather conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) may reduce the boot´s performance.

NOTES
Level 1: indicates the minimum standard required by the regulation to ensure protection in the event of an accident and an adequate
level of comfort for all uses.
Level 2: guarantees greater protection and an increase in performance, particularly in products intended for racing use/training use
although this may result in limitations due to greater weight but therefore less comfort. Therefore, the user must choose the level of
performance best suited for his needs, riding style and the degree of danger involved in his riding activity. Codes of optional requisites can
eventually be found on the boots for further benefits.
