Belstaff has been around for almost a century and has built its brand on producing rugged, functional and —especially in the last quarter century—stylishly refined gear for discerning motorcyclists and pedestrians alike.
And damnit if they haven’t done it again with this Duration boot.
Constructed from water-repellent full-grain leather, the Duration boot has reinforced toe and heel cups and ankle protection built into both sides of each boot.
This classic black Chelsea style boot goes on and off with a side zipper, which is secured in place at the top of the boot by a Velcro leather tab.
Keep it simple, stupid. This dapper black boot provides support and ankle protection on the bike, but can be worn off the bike, too. And it’s got a sturdy Vibram sole and is waterproof that’s to a breathable membrane built into the design.

*Note: A true Chelsea style boot, with elasticated side panels, a la a Blundstone brand paddock boot, is a terrible candidate for riding a motorcycle with. It’s the elasticated side panels that kill it. Ambling around the farm, sure. But suffice it to say that if it’s possible to remove a boot with a hard kick, then some poor highway patrol officer might end up circling said boot with orange spray-paint, 20 yards from the scene of the motorcycle accident.
