Marc Marquez won the 2019 MotoGP title with the Repsol Honda Team, his sixth in the premier class, clinching it at the Thailand Grand Prix on 6 October 2019 (Honda newsroom). The boots that connect a rider to the footpegs and gear lever are part of any replica of that season.

Key Takeaways

  • The replica boots are listed with a 1.2-1.3 mm cowhide upper and TPU guards at the ankle, heel and shin.
  • Replaceable TPU toe sliders, a gear shifter pad and a slip-resistant, oil-resistant rubber sole are listed.
  • Calf width customization is listed on the product page.

The Marc Marquez Boots MotoGP 2017 - 2019 , available at Leather Collection, are a replica inspired by the footwear he wore from 2017 to 2019. This guide goes through what the product page lists and what to check when choosing racing boots.

Materials and Construction

The boots are listed with a 1.2-1.3 mm cowhide upper in a milled finish. TPU moulded guards sit at the ankle, heel and shin, and the heel and toe areas are reinforced. A breathable mesh lining is listed to limit moisture build-up, and the closure is a side-entry YKK coil zipper.

Protection Features

Racing boots protect the foot in three ways: they resist abrasion, they help limit ankle movement, and they shield the shin, heel and toe against impact. The listed features map onto that:

  • TPU ankle, heel and shin protection: moulded guards over the areas that hit first in a slide.
  • Replaceable TPU toe sliders: wear parts that take the abrasion at high lean angles and can be swapped.
  • Gear shifter pad: a heavy-duty pad where the lever rubs the leather.
  • Pre-curved ankle support: shaped for the riding position.

Grip and Comfort

The sole is a slip-resistant, oil-resistant high-grip rubber, which matters when a foot leaves the peg at a stop. Strategic shin vents add airflow, and the pre-curved ankle shape reduces pressure points in the riding position. Boots like these usually need a short break-in, so wearing them for a few shorter rides first is sensible.

The Repsol Honda Look

The boots are red cowhide with the 2017-2019 Marc Marquez Honda MotoGP livery. They are a replica inspired by those seasons. Riders building a matching set can browse the Marc Marquez replica range , including the Repsol Honda 2018 suit , or compare other MotoGP racing boots .

Why Calf Width Matters

Standard sizes cover EU 36 to 46, and the product page lists calf width customization. A boot that is loose around the calf lets the shin guard and ankle protection move out of position, while a tight one cuts circulation on long sessions. Leather Collection has made gear since 2009, hand-stitched and made to order.

Final Thoughts

The Marc Marquez MotoGP 2019 boots combine a recognizable Honda livery with a listed protection set of TPU guards, replaceable sliders and a shifter pad. Riders should still check size and calf fit carefully before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which seasons do these boots represent?

The product page describes a season-accurate 2017-2019 Marc Marquez Honda MotoGP livery in red cowhide. Marquez won the title in each of those seasons with the Repsol Honda Team, so the boots cover the sequence that ended with his sixth premier-class title in 2019.

What do the replaceable toe sliders do?

Toe sliders are wear parts on the front of the boot. When a rider leans far over, the toe can scrape the asphalt, and the TPU slider takes that abrasion instead of the leather. Because they are replaceable, a worn slider can be changed rather than replacing the whole boot.

Can the boot be adjusted for a wider calf?

The product page states that calf width customization is available. Rider calf and instep measurements vary, and boots that fit well keep the ankle and shin protection where it is meant to sit. Riders can check the sizing details on the product page before ordering.

Are the boots meant for track or road use?

They follow a racing design with a shin guard, TPU ankle guards and a gear shifter pad, but the product page lists no EN 13634 certification, so check the organizer's requirements and ask the maker for documentation before track use. Many riders also use race-style boots on the road. The choice depends on how comfortable the stiffer construction is for walking and for daily riding.
