Fiberglass + Embedded steel heel A toe protection """'--L,,,,, arch support Step into a pair of Esprit boots - the most comfortable boots you'll ever wear, yet tough enough to go the distance. Esprit hired professional racers to design the ultimate boot, then manufactured it to their exact specifications. No other boot compares. While competitors try again and again to copy the Esprit boot, they can 't match the extra care, quality control and attention to detail that make Esprit boots the only boots for riders who insist on the best. Comfort plus. PLUS FIT. Esprit boots are the only pro boots available in half sizes, so you never have to squeeze into a boot that's too small or grow into a boot that's too big. . PLUS SUPPORT. Interior speed laces allow you to custom fit the boot around your leg for as much or as little ankle support as you need. And a steel shank embedded in the boot's sole gives you superior arch support that won't break down with age. PLUS CONTROL. The natural cowhide constru cti on of Esprit boots allows you more feel, control and freedom of movement than synthetic or plastic boots. PLUS PROTECTION. Esprit boots are taller than other boots to protect more of your leg. A sturdy front plate and a fiberglass toe and heel form protective shields around vulnerable areas. And to protect you even more, Esprit wraps your ankles and shins in high- impact-absorbing padding. PLUS CONVENIENCE. Esprit boots are incredibly easy to put on and take off. The boots open wide so your foot slides right in. One tug at the speed laces wraps the boot snugly around your leg, and Velcro®tabs secure the boots faster than any other type of fastener. PLUS DURABILITY. E§lprit boots are built to hold up under the toughest conditions. Pro racer Randy Goss wore one pair for two years that's about "10 years' worth" for the average weekend rider. PLUS A GUARANTEE. Esprit boots are so well made that they come with a six-month limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Don't settle for inferior copies or boots that you have to "stretch out" or "grow into." Insist on boots that fit you right from day one. The boots you'll feel totally comfortable with. Insist on Esprit. fSPRIT BE ~ '" .& ~ • Ill> A Wheelsport Exc lus ive . Ask for Esprit at your local dealership. or write for a free brochure to Esprit, P.O. Box 11591 , Portland, OR 97211.
