If protection and comfort are your bottom line in a motocross boot, and colors don’t particularly matter, look no further than AXO’s 2010 off-road boot line.
AXO’s boots only come in two colors – black and white. Axo leaves the neon colors and bright graphics to other companies. What AXO’s boots do offer, though, are comfort, protection and durability.
The Prime (retails for $274) is at the top of axo’s 2010 boot line. For 2010, the Prime features injection-molded PU plastics, which actually temporarily “deform” to soften blows. This deformation of the plastics in the boot helps prevent injuries to a rider’s legs and feet.
AXO’s Dart boot (retails for $184) features 3-dimensionally molded shin and calf plates that absorb impacts and protect a rider’s legs. The Dart also has a soft rubber seal at the top to keep out water and dirt.
A more economical Boxer Supermoto ($149) is also available from axo. The Supermoto, which only comes in black, has a stain-resistant mesh lining that prevents slipping. The Supermoto offers a vinyl and foam seal at the top of the boot to protect against water and dirt.
