Warnings and use limitations:
» NO boots can guarantee a total protection from all
possible impacts or abrasions
» Motorcycling is an inherently dangerous activity and
may result in serious personal injuries including death;
wearing protective equipment should not be an excuse
for increasing readiness to take risks
» Always follow the specifi c use instructions of these boots
» Do not use the protective device boots for other uses:
improper use may seriously reduce the protection
provided.
Use for which the boots are intended:
Motorcyclists' footwear is intended to give a degree of
mechanical protection to the foot, optionally the ankle
and/or part of the shin in accidents without signifi cantly
reducing the ability of the rider to control the motorcycle
and operate the foot controls.
The boots, when used and worn correctly, are meant to
reduce injuries risks, limiting the consequences of mo-
torcycle accidents; mainly the severity of impact cut and
impact abrasion with the road surface and the impact
forces transmission due to crashes against confl icting
vehicles, road furniture, and road surfaces.
The protective device object of this Information notice is
strictly limited to motorcycle use.
In order to ensure the best protection against motorcy-
cling injuries, ALWAYS use the boots together with other
Certifi ed P.P.E. (garments, gloves, helmet, etc.) that are
intended to protect other parts of the body: for instance,
shin protection can be provided by impact protectors
fi tted into trousers.
Duration and Disposal instruction:
The product lifetime is strictly related to its use and
consequent material degradation. However, it is recom-
mended to replace boots that are stored under normal
conditions (temperature, relative humidity) after 2 years
from the date of purchase.
At the end of your boot useful life be sure to not discard it in
the natural environment: please follow your local / national
environmental regulations and discard it in an appropriate
dumping area. Further information regarding these regula-
tions can be obtained from your local authorities.
Hazards against which some protection is given:
The boots offer LIMITED protection of the foot against
cuts, lacerations and abrasions that may occur when hit-
ting the ground or road surface after falling from a mo-
torcycle/scooter; reduction of the severity of contusions
and fractures in case of impact.
Hazards against which protection is not given:
These boots cannot guarantee protection against traumas
caused by bending, twisting, torsions or against traumas
provoked by extreme movements. They also cannot pre-
vent crushing as the result of striking an object.
Check prior use:
» Before using these boots, make sure they are in good
condition. In case of visible damages like breaches,
unstitching, etc. they shall be replaced.
» The boots properly work only when in good condi-
tions and correctly positioned: the level of protection
is effective as long as the items keep their original
characteristics. Therefore, it is important that no mo-
difi cations or repairs are made: do not tamper with
your boots.
» If the fi xing devices consist of strips, straps, elastic
bands, hooks or alike, both their effi ciency and their
sealing must be verifi ed. If a Velcro closure is present,
it should be checked for wear and tightness at regular
intervals.
Materials and manufacturing:
All materials used both natural or synthetic, as well as
the applied processing techniques, have been chosen
to meet the requirements expressed by the European
technical standards in terms of safety, ergonomics, com-
fort, solidity and innocuousness.
