Mid-level Motocross boot comparison
Dirt bike boots are amongst the most important protective gear you'll need to buy for riding or racing motocross and enduro.
MX boots generally come in three sectors - entry-level, mid-level, and premium. In this guide, we compare the best mid-level motocross boots on the market.
Forma Terrain TX boots:
The Forma Terrain TX boot is a lightweight and traditional styled boot that still offers great protection. Made in Europe, the pivot design allows for natural movement and increased flexibility without compromising support, as a stitched welt sole is the strongest possible production method available for producing motocross boots.
Price: $379.95
Weight: 1725g (Size 10)
Key features: FCS pivot design, CE certified, anti-slip sole.
Gaerne GX1 boots:
Providing an immediate step-in comfort, the Gaerne GX1 boot boasts high-quality materials and offers structural support that consists of two lugs that slide inside designed pockets, avoiding front and rear overextension. The boot uses a traditional sole and comes in at an extremely affordable price.

Weight: 1765g (Size 10)
Key features: Structural support system, four buckles, made in Italy.
Thor Radial boots:
Thor bolstered its protection range by releasing the all-new Radial boot, which comes with a selection of premium qualities. The boot uses a hinge component that adds structure and reduces overextension by enhancing the mobility of the boot and natural motion of the leg. Alongside that, pre-curved injection moulded components, fully synthetic calf overlays, and injection moulded positive-lock buckle system round out a really strong package.
Price: $399.95
Weight: 1800g (Size 10)
