Leon Haslam 2012 Motorcycle Racing Boots Specifications & Construction Details
Outer Layer
- 1.2-1.3 mm milled cowhide leather upper construction delivers race-grade durability and impact resistance for WSBK-spec footwear.
- TPU moulded guards shield the ankle, heel, and shin — the three highest-impact zones during cornering and emergency braking.
- Replaceable TPU toe sliders protect the outer boot during aggressive lean angles and reduce replacement costs when sliders wear.
- Heavy-duty gear shifter pad reinforces the inner foot and prevents accelerated wear from repeated shift lever contact.
- Reinforced heel and toe construction absorbs shock during hard braking and standing-on-pegs track manoeuvres.
- Slip-resistant and oil-resistant rubber sole grips the footpeg and ground surface even when wet or contaminated with fuel and engine oil — essential for track safety.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Leon Haslam boots are constructed from 1.2–1.3 mm milled cowhide leather. This thickness strikes the balance between durability and flex that WSBK racers need. Thinner leather would reduce impact resistance during crashes; thicker leather would reduce foot feel on the shifter and footpeg. The milled finish adds grip and helps the leather age gracefully. For comparison, street motorcycle boots are typically 0.8–1.1 mm; race boots jump to 1.2–1.5 mm to handle the forces of track riding. The cowhide in the Leon Haslam 2012 motorcycle racing boots is sourced for tensile strength and tear resistance, making it suitable for the repeated stress of downshifting, braking, and cornering.
The Leon Haslam boots include TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) moulded protectors at three critical impact zones: the ankle, shin, and heel. TPU is a rigid polymer that absorbs and disperses impact energy — when your foot slides or strikes the ground during a crash or hard braking, the TPU spreads the force across a wider area of the boot instead of concentrating it on a single point. The shin protector shields the front of your lower leg from footpeg contact and ground impact. The ankle protector stabilizes the ankle joint and protects the outer ankle bone during lateral impacts. The heel protector absorbs shock from hard braking and standing on the pegs.
Yes. The outsole is specifically formulated to resist oil and petrol, which is critical for track safety. When you're standing on a footpeg or walking across a paddock that may have spilled fuel or engine oil, a non-resistant sole becomes slippery and dangerous. The milled cowhide leather upper is also resistant to oil and fuel contact — these substances won't cause the leather to swell, soften, or degrade as they would on untreated leather. The YKK zipper is corrosion-resistant and won't seize if exposed to fuel vapors. This oil and petrol resistance is a race-spec feature; street boots often lack this because they're not designed for the paddock environment. For track days and WSBK racing, this protection is essential.

Wipe the leather down with a soft dry cloth after use and let it dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun. Condition the 1.2-1.3 mm cowhide leather every few months with a small amount of leather conditioner worked in with a cloth, then buff. Store the boots on a wide hanger or flat in a breathable bag, never in plastic. Salt, rain and sweat marks come off with a slightly damp cloth before conditioning. Avoid machine washing, solvents and heat; a leather specialist can refresh the finish if it dulls after years of use. Leather Collection has hand-stitched leather to order since 2009 and the Help Center answers care questions before you order.
