Belstaff Trialmaster Pro boots in brown

This is one of those motorcycle boots that is designed not to look at all like a motorcycle boot. And that clearly is the intention. We’d call it an urban boot. They would work well worn under a pair of jeans. And they’re smart enough to be worn in even the fanciest of establishments.

The Belstaff Trialmaster Pro boot is made from a full-grain leather of between 1.2 and 1.4 mm in thickness. There’s buckle a strap across the front of the foot, although we suspect that it’s there more for the look than for functionality. The zip up the inside of the boot is how you get in and out of the boot. And as there’s no waterproof membrane, the boot opens up wide to make ingress and egress nice and easy.

This Belstaff boot, though, is still commendably strong . There are very strong counters in the toe and heel. You don’t get a gearchange pad, though. Padded inserts protect the ankles. The outsole is by Vibram. The boot looks as though it is Goodyear welted, but it isn’t.

As we’ve stated, this boot has no membrane, so this isn’t a boot for commuting. But a boot without a membrane will be nicer to wear when it’s hot. This is about as simple as a short boot gets. It’s quite a simple affair, but it’s super stylish and pretty tough. The boot comes in brown and black.
