Casual trainer-style boots are currently all the rage for style-conscious bikers, but sometimes something more sturdy is needed, but without giving up flexibility or off-bike comfort. That’s the niche that the new Oxford Ravine D2D boot is aiming for, with a walking-boot aesthetic combined with reinforced toe and heels, a PU footbed shank and ankle protector inserts to give a CE level 2/2/1/2 rating. The uppers are made from Ripstop and Amara microfibre suede, with a high-grip rubber sole and a Dry2Dry waterproof membrane for weather protection. A six-hole lacing system allows an adjustable fit, with a hidden side zip to make putting them on quicker. They come in all-black or black/grey camo colourways in Euro sizes 40-47 for an SRP of £99.99.
