Precision from the Ground Up: The Marc Marquez MotoGP 2020 Racing Boots

Marc Marquez replica motorcycle racing boots from the 2020 MotoGP season

June 20, 2022 230 view(s) 3 min read

Marc Marquez rode for Repsol Honda from 2013 to 2023, and race boots need to allow gear shifting and braking feel. The Marc Marquez Motorcyclist Boots MotoGP 2020 is a replica inspired by the boots from his 2020 season, made to order and hand-stitched by Leather Collection.

Key Takeaways

Marquez has nine Grand Prix world titles, seven of them in MotoGP, and raced for Repsol Honda from 2013 to 2023 on the RC213V.
The 2020 season was cut short for him by a crash at Jerez that broke his right humerus.
The replica uses a 1.2 to 1.3 mm milled cowhide upper with TPU moulded guards at the ankle, shin, heel and toe.
A YKK side zipper with a custom calf width option and a dual-compound, oil-resistant sole complete the listing.

The Rider Behind the Boots

Marquez was born in Cervera, Catalonia, and won the 125cc title in 2010, the Moto2 title in 2012 and MotoGP titles in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2025. His 2020 season began at Jerez, where a highside crash broke his right humerus and sidelined him for an extended period, so the 2020 replica reflects the colours of a season rather than a full championship campaign.

Construction and Materials

The listing describes boots built for a racing posture and a track-style fit:

Upper: 1.2 to 1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide, with durable microfibre panels and injected reinforcement.
Lining: a lightweight Airtech lining for breathability, with shin air vents for warm weather.
Sole: a slip-resistant, oil-resistant dual-compound rubber sole.
Fit: an anatomically curved shape, a YKK coil zipper on the side and a custom calf width option.

Protection Features

The feet and ankles are exposed in a low-side crash, which is why racing boots add rigid structure around the joint. The listing names these elements:

TPU moulded guards at the ankle, shin, heel and toe.
Reinforced heel and toe protectors for scuffs and contact.
Replaceable TPU toe sliders that wear instead of the boot body.
A heavy-duty gear shifter pad on the left toe, plus an internal gear pocket.

The 2020 Repsol Honda Footwear are made to order, and the listing page carries the full specification and size information.

Repsol Honda Colours and the 93

The livery on the listing is described as season-accurate Repsol Honda grey and red. Marquez races with number 93, which is the number the replica references. Anyone building a full look can browse the Marc Marquez replica range , or compare the earlier Marquez boots from 2017 to 2019 .

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these the boots Marc Marquez raced in during 2020?

No. They are replicas inspired by the boots he wore in 2020. Leather Collection produces them to order; they are not made by Marquez, Honda or the series, and they should not be treated as race-used or team-issued equipment.

What are the boots made of?

The listing describes a 1.2 to 1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide upper with durable microfibre panels, an Airtech lining and a dual-compound rubber sole. TPU guards sit at the ankle, shin, heel and toe, and the toe sliders are replaceable.

Does the 2020 season have anything special about it?

Yes. Marquez crashed at the 2020 Jerez Grand Prix and broke his right humerus, which required surgeries and kept him out for an extended period. The boots are a livery-based replica of that year rather than a title-winning season.

How does the zip closure work?

The listing describes a YKK coil zipper on the side of the boot. A custom calf width option is available so the boot can fit different leg shapes. Check the product page for sizing details before ordering.
