The issue with most riding gear is that it’s often only good for wearing on the bike. When you pull up at your desired destination, you generally need to get it off to be comfortable getting about without big, bulky and stiff protective clothing getting in the way. But, with these stylish Forma boots, you’re able to get the best of both worlds.

The Forma Swift Dry Lady Boots are another beautiful design from Italian brand Forma (they also do a fella’s version in brown). Visually, they’re nicely styled, and I like the touch of ‘girl’ look, as after all, I am a girl! Being a motorcyclist, I appreciate all opportunities to remain dressing like one! 

Made out of full-grain leather, they not only certain to give a long life, and it’s obvious they aren’t just fashion items. The Swift boots are CE certified and come complete with anti-crush sole, heel reinforcing and ankle protection. And the best bit? They really are comfortable! And by that, I mean REALLY comfortable! That means you can ride your bike to the shops or a race meeting, spend a bit of time on your feet and not feel the need to get your bulky riding boots off in order to move around. Chucking them on with a pair of your fav riding jeans is certainly the look, and enjoy being both on and off your bike whilst wearing them. There’s a Drytex waterproof and breathable liner which will make them perfect for all-year-round riding, and another bonus is they won’t break the bank, only setting you back $279. So if you like the look of the Swift boots, I think they’re a blimmin’ good idea to keep your feet protected while also looking good.
