The Desmo is a performance boot specifically designed for sports riders and focuses on versatility.  Unparalleled protection/comfort combination: The Desmo offers advanced impact protection, due to a vast array of features, such as the internal nylon ankle bone protection, its TPU shin plate, the molded TPU heel counter, the forefoot and heel zinc sliders and finally its additional TPU sliders for maximum protection on the shaft. And its comfort level far exceeds what protective sports boots typically offer, with flexible inserts at heel and forefoot for that easy in-step feel, a rubber gearshifter and pre-molded sockliner to absorb vibration, and its water-resistant zipper system and breathable fabric lining. In addition to all the protection and comfort, the upgraded Desmo boot has a high-density rubber outsole for providing that extra stability, grip and abrasion resistance on the outsole, so you feel at ease when you?re hitting high speed maneuvers.
