Bates Introduces Beltline Touring Boot
Bates Footwear has introduced the “Beltline” as the latest in its line of touring boots.
Utilizing more than 100 years of experience making technical footwear for the US Armed Forces, the Beltline is constructed of double-stitched full grain leather and nylon, with molded TPU heel protection. Poron XRD high impact foam provides inner and outer ankle protection, and TPU toe reinforcements minimize wear on the shoe from the shift lever. The hidden lacing system and patented molle strap allows laces to be tucked away from moving parts. An internal EVA midsole also makes the shoe comfortable to walk in while off the bike, while the oil and slip-resistant rubber outsole provides firm footing at a stop.
The Beltline by Bates Footwear is now in stock and available for $195. You can purchase a pair online and through select PowerSports dealers. Visit www.BatesFootwear.com to learn more.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
