Ducati has put its brand name front and centre on its latest boots, but they are actually designed by long-time collaborater Drudi Performance and bolted together by German clothing and footwear experts Held.
The new C4 is a short-height casual biking boot for commuting, touring and everyday riding, and has been designed to also be comfortable for off-bike use. The uppers are made from a combination of microfibre and technical fabric, with a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofness and there is a non-slip Vibram rubber sole. Fastening is a combination of laces and a Velcro strap, with protection provided by reinforcement in the toe, heels and malleolus areas. They come in EU sizes 38 to 45 (roughly UK size 5 to 10.5) for an SRP of £191.
