ake no mistake, a helmet'is still the
most important piece of riding gear
you own. But a good pair of boots
will save you from injury at least a
20
dozen times in an afternoon of dirt riding while the
helmet just sits there, helping you work up a sweat,
waiting for that all important once-in-a -while
opportunity to save your life. That, boots .can't do .
Foot and ankle injuries don't kill.
Feet are probably the most battered part of the
dirt rider's body , hanging down there within easy
reach of jagged steel footpegs , flying rocks , anklebruising sidecovers and spinning wheels . They are in
need of nothing short of excellent protection. Foot
injuries are among the most painful and can account
for the additional aggrava tion of lost money through
time out of work and, of course, doctor's bills . As
expensive as boots may seem, they 're a bargain in
comparison to the only alternative. T he selection of a
good pair becomes as im porta n t as the choice of a
safe helmet . .. thus , the Cycle N ews Boot Test.
