This boot from MSR is a departure from most hi-tech, high dollar boots. The VX1 ATV boot has leather construction to surround heel and calf areas. Durable plastic guards cover shin and top of the toe box for extra durability and protection. To secure each area, aluminum buckles isolate tension to allow flexing in between each joint. Intended to be an ATV boot, VX1 ATV boots have enough durability for bike riding.
