Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The Supertech R is designed primarily for track performance and breathability; it is not considered a waterproof boot.

Can I replace the toe sliders?

Yes, the toe sliders are designed to be replaceable once they have worn down from cornering.

Do I need to wear socks with the inner bootie?

Yes, wearing thin, moisture-wicking technical socks is recommended for the best fit and comfort inside the inner bootie.

Are these suitable for everyday commuting?

While they provide excellent protection, they are specifically tuned for racing and may be uncomfortable for extended periods of walking.

What does the CE EN13634:2017 rating mean?

This is a European safety standard ensuring the boots meet specific requirements for abrasion, impact, and transverse rigidity.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting the boot on

Ensure the inner bootie is properly aligned and the external zipper is fully opened before inserting your foot.

Ratchet closure not engaging

Check the ratchet track for debris or dirt and clean it with compressed air or a soft brush.

Squeaking while walking

Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the articulated joints of the boot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Class-leading track protection
  • Excellent tactile feedback for bike control
  • Highly durable microfiber upper
  • Replaceable sliders for long-term maintenance
  • Superior mobility thanks to the articulated ankle design

Cons

  • Not optimized for long-distance walking
  • Requires a break-in period to feel comfortable
  • Higher entry price point due to racing specifications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, verify that the boot fits snugly through the inner bootie before securing the external shell. Always use the micro-adjustable ratchet to lock the shin plate into a comfortable but secure position. For care, clean the microfiber exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material. After track days, remove the inner bootie to allow for thorough drying, which prevents odor buildup and material degradation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
