Helstons is known for making some of the most stylish gear that is best suited for retro enthusiasts. Although the brand’s products are stylish and expensive, we can also rest assured that they are also very safe, thanks to high quality materials and compliance with industry standard safety standards.
The newest product to come out of the artisans at Helstons comes in the form of the Deville riding shoes, a pair of retro-style mid-height boots with a casual design. Just by looking at them, you can tell they’re going to be quite comfortable, as well as perfectly complementing your neo-retro tastes. These boots are made from full-grain cowhide leather and feature reinforcements in key areas for added protection and longevity. The boots feature a mid-cut cut and extend just above the ankle, providing adequate protection in the event of a low-speed fall.
Up front, the boots feature a large full-grain cowhide leather panel that lays down very well over time, as well as providing much-needed stiffness and abrasion resistance. In addition, the shoes have integrated textile inserts on the sides for additional protection. These inserts are made from Armalith, a highly developed aramid fiber that resists penetration, abrasion and impact. These inserts protect your feet from crushing forces should your bike fall on you, as well as protecting your skin from slipping on the tarmac in the event of a rocker.
Helston’s Deville Boots are secured with a lace-up closure and feature stitched insoles for extra longevity. The chunky rubber soles also give them a more vintage aesthetic, while improving your grip on the ground, especially when planting your feet on loose, uneven terrain. All these features have earned Helstons Deville PPE certification. As for size and availability, these boots are available in sizes 39 to 46 and are priced at 219 Euros, or around 232 USD, based on current exchange rates.
