I've been riding exclusively in Daytona boots since 1985

Best quality ever! The repair service is unbeatable. I’ve had my current pair since 2010, and it wasn’t until after the 2026 France tour that I had to get the soles replaced. Other than normal wear and tear, nothing else is broken. THAT is quality—Daytona is the best!!

100% Recommended

After more than 20 years without a motorcycle, I knew I had to get one again. I settled on a BMW S1000XR HP. Of course, you can’t ride a motorcycle without proper protective gear, so I needed something good. So I asked around among my friends to see what they were wearing, and two of them mentioned that they’d been to your store in Eggenfelden to get boots fitted. Both are very happy with their boots, so I decided to go with Daytonas. Off to Louis I went (I needed a lot more gear—everything else was either out of stock or too old), where I tried on a pair of Arrow Sport GTX shorts and bought them right away. As you can see in the picture, I use them for longer rides (this one took me to the Odenwald). For Sunday afternoon rides, I use the AC4-WD (textile with a short shaft). I’m very happy with both pairs—they’re comfortable to wear, provide the necessary stability while riding, and as for the GTX boots, I can confirm that they’re absolutely waterproof (I’ve already had a few rides in the rain with them—and I’m not just talking about drizzle here.) So, if anyone is looking for good motorcycle boots at reasonable prices, you’ve definitely come to the right place. I give them a 100% recommendation.

We've been on this journey together for years.

Daytona motorcycle boots are the best.

They’re waterproof. They protect. They work.

Daytona has been making motorcycle boots since 1962. I’ve been wearing them since 1984. Daytona has been around since 1962—just one year before I was born. My story with Daytona began in 1984, when I became a driving instructor. I still have my first pair of Daytona boots today. They’re now sitting on a shelf, reminding me of how it all began. In my day-to-day life, though, I wear a different pair—made in 2000. For 26 years, they’ve accompanied me through dust, rain, cold, heat, and dirt. They’ve seen thousands of teaching hours and countless kilometers as a Class A motorcycle instructor and in training motorcycle couriers for the German Armed Forces. They’ve been repaired once. They’ve been through three crashes with me—twice on the road, once at the Nürburgring in the “Hohe Acht” section. Yet they still work just as well today as they did on the first day. When I put on my Daytona, I don’t think about rain. Not about cold feet. Not about wet roads. And not about what might happen if something goes wrong. I put them on—and I feel at peace. Because I know I can rely on them. Up here in the north, a harsh wind often blows. Rain is part of everyday life. The Daytona doesn’t care at all. It just does its job: It keeps out the elements. It protects. It works. In a world where so many things last only a few years, a pair of Daytona boots has been with me for over a quarter-century. That's why I don't want a new Daytona—not because I need a pair of boots, but because I'm looking for a companion for the next 25 years.

A stop-off in Slovakia.

Always waterproof …

… even on longer trips, such as this one to Puzzlewood in England.

40,000 kilometres of trouble-free riding

I’ve been riding the Daytona Road GTX since 2021 and have covered just over 40,000 km in total, including a minor accident. I once had a small leak after a trip to Norway, but Daytona repaired it quickly and without any hassle.

How lucky I am …

… that Daytona exists. Because without it, I wouldn’t be able to ride a motorbike. Admittedly, as a petite woman, I fall into a very niche category for clothing manufacturers – and into the group that motorbike manufacturers tend to overlook. But hey, there are Daytona’s ‘high heels’. Built-in lifts and platforms made especially for me. And it doesn’t stop there. The boots are built to last, can withstand almost anything, are well thought-out and of a quality you’ve long sought but (almost?) can no longer find – genuine shoemaking craftsmanship. The absolute icing on the cake: Daytona repairs these much-loved treasures. Although, that’s a Black Forest gateau in its own right... The fact that these boots have protected my feet and ankles from injury on several occasions: thank you! In short: these boots impress with their functionality and the highest quality. Daytona caters to individual needs through bespoke manufacturing. The repair service ensures that the footwear is and remains durable. Exemplary sustainability. Every day, I feel safe out and about.

I love them

I've been wearing my Daytonas for more than a decade, and I love them. Whether I'm in Europe or North Africa, they're always with me.

Simply the best motorcycle boots on the planet!!!

I’m 43 now and have been riding in Daytona boots since my 18th birthday. Simply perfect!!!!

Daytona all the way for 30 years!

Always waterproof and super comfortable! This photo was taken on one of our camping trips.

Rainy-day tours

Various rainy-day tours and always dry feet.

Simply great

They've been my go-to shoes for 5 years. Great shoes! No matter the weather, these boots are really fantastic!

Daytona boots are the top choice for any vacation.

They're safe, weatherproof, and so comfortable that you can even walk a bit in them. :-)

Vacation in Sardinia

About 15 years old and definitely showing its age

No loose seams, no peeling glue, no holes. Nothing!! Perfect sole! Perfect fit. As a thank-you, I took this photo during one of my weekend trips from Austria to Bavaria, in front of the company’s headquarters in Deggendorf. Shoes off, photo, shoes back on—and that was it. Here, too, the motto is...the best or nothing.

I did it

I bought myself a new pair of boots—no, not just any boots, but the exact same model I’ve had and loved for the past 12 years. But that doesn’t mean the old ones are worn out; no, with a new patch and a new sole, they’ll last another 10 years. You just can’t have enough Daytonas… Greetings from Schäftlarn

We've been through a lot in 12 years

Just got back from Tuscany—9 days, 3,000 km, rain, storms, and plenty of sun. I had it all, and my Daytonas, of course. After 12 years, 3 or 4 new soles, and 3 gear shift pads, they’re still in top shape. Unfortunately, the leather is starting to wear out—what’s going to happen? Daytonas again, of course, and exactly the same ones. These ones will get a new sole, membrane, and new shift pad, of course, because having two pairs is just right.

Always Daytona

... whether on the track or on the road – Daytona shoes are my go-to choice -> Rijeka track training here

4 hours in the rain

... zoomed around Lake Maggiore without getting your feet wet. BRAVO!

Even the older ones still meet all expectations

Today I took an extensive tour through the Bergisches Land and the Sauerland. Of course, as always, I was wearing my Road Star GTX. Even though they’re getting a bit old now, they still meet all my expectations. For the summer, a pair of short boots would go really well with biker jeans ;)

Incredibly good

With this picture, I would like to thank you for the incredibly good motorcycle boots that have accompanied me for the past 15 years, across more than 25 countries and 250,000 km.
Now it was time for a new pair of motorcycle boots, and of course I chose Daytona again — hopefully they will accompany me all the way to the end. Yours sincerely, Gunter Burkart

Thanks for watching out for me

Sometimes you just have to give your boots a little break :) Nürburgring 2023 ... for over 10 years, these have been the shoes that have kept my husband's feet safe. Thank you for that!

Stop by Glemseck wearing the best shoes in the world!

Finally

It took me 37 years to buy my first Daytona directly from FREY today (February 25, 2026). That alone was quite an experience.

All that's missing is the right Daytona to match your hair color.

Since I bought my Daytona boots in 2022, my feet don't want to wear anything else when biking. Perfect fit, great inner shoe/outer shoe. Since then, the boots have accompanied me to Sardinia, South Tyrol, the Bavarian Forest, the Waldviertel, the Altmühltal... simply everywhere. Now I just want boots that match my hair color and I'll be happy :)

Racing with Daytonas at the Pannoniaring

Tried another one once. Regretted it. Back to Daytona.

After many years of wearing my first pair of Daytona boots, I wanted to try a pair of sports boots from another manufacturer. My moped buddy recommended boots from a certain manufacturer that he was familiar with from cycling, so I let myself be persuaded. After all, I wanted to try something new. What can I say? From the very beginning, the boots squeaked with every step (according to the salesperson, the squeaking would quickly disappear—but it never did). The screws used to attach the plastic protectors to the boots rusted before the first rain shower, and brief contact with the hot manifold left an ugly hole in the outer skin of the boot. After the first use in the rain, the boots had shrunk half a size (despite newspaper and drying in the shade). Reason enough to go back to the specialist retailer and buy another pair of Daytonas. Since then, I've only worn Daytonas. Daytona boots fit perfectly, they are durable, and I always feel that I am really securely “wrapped up” in them. Thank you for these brilliant motorcycle boots.

Finally, boots that fit

I am thrilled with the quality.

From high school graduation straight into adventure

35,000 km across Europe After graduating from high school, I knew one thing for sure: I wanted to see Europe on a motorcycle. Although I had already traveled a lot on my Duke 125, I had never really been on a road trip, so I needed a touring motorcycle and new equipment for my off-road plans. I quickly found the motorcycle: a KTM 690 Enduro R. Somewhat influenced by RyanF9's videos, the camping setup consisted of a hammock and tarp to save space – which would later become an adventure in itself. Choosing boots was more difficult. I was actually going to get motocross boots, but after some very energetic advice from a firefighter friend, I ended up with a used pair of Daytona TransTourMan GTX boots. It was absolutely the right decision! After what felt like an eternity, the six months of work were over and the journey began. The first stop was the TET Sardinia, an absolute off-road spectacle. Since these were my first real experiences off-road, I spent more time under the motorcycle than on it. But my boots did their job and slowly but surely my riding skills improved. After a week, my ferry left for Corsica. Driving there is much more road-oriented, but it's an absolute dream for curves. Camping with a hammock and motorcycle was fantastic in the warm weather; most campsites only charged €5-10, since you don't even have a tent. A week later, I headed to Lake Garda to meet the friend who had recommended the boots to me, and together we rode through the Western Alps. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't really on our side: lots of rain and 10°C. But with dry feet and bed and breakfast in the mountains, it was still an absolute spectacle of nature and riding. After swapping motorcycles with his DR650 for an hour, he knew for sure: he also needed a modern dual-sport bike. We parted ways at the French border – he headed back, I continued on towards Spain. I didn't get very far in Spain; it was now July and 38°C in the shade. So I changed my travel plans: I rode through Brittany to Benelux. Off-road, it wasn't comparable to the Alps, but you could cover a lot of ground on the slopes. Here, however, the hammock became a problem. Most campsites were only designed for motorhomes, and finding trees became difficult. But the campsite owners were always willing to help and offered me lanterns or even their tractors as anchor points for the hammock. As I was winding down the evening with a Belgian beer, I received a photo: it was my buddy from the fire department. He had sold his bike and bought a Husky 701 – the starting signal for many future trips together. We rode rally-style along the German-French border through Switzerland and Austria to Slovenia. There we rejoined the TET to Dubrovnik in Croatia. From there, it was time to head home: we took a relaxed, holiday-style ride along the coast, from beach to beach, towards Munich. Three months, 12 countries, 35,000 km, 3 rear tires, and a fork seal later, the adventure was over. Conclusion: Since then, the Daytonas have been to Slovenia, Sardinia again, the Baltic States to the northernmost tip of Estonia, and Czechia. After 65,000 km and 19 countries in two years, they are still tight and look good!

I could rely on my Daytonas, whether dry or wet...

Daytona or nothing

Our Daytonas served us faithfully as we crisscrossed Norway. We've both always ridden Daytonas and will never ride anything else. And next year, we'll be back in Norway. Thank you, Daytona, for giving our shoes a facelift. They look like new and are ready for the next adventure. Here's to the next 70,000 km.

The best motorcycle boots are and always will be from Daytona

Top quality, even after many years of wear and heavy use, they are still waterproof. Keep up the good work, please don't skimp on the materials.

Quality that simply convinces

I've been riding the Daytona Road Star GTX with my second pair for over 25 years. Whether it's rain or heat, these shoes can handle it, and they don't smell after you take them off. Of course, I love riding with them to the sea the most.

Thank you, Daytona.

I slipped on gravel and my motorcycle fell on my boot. Only my boot was scraped, my foot was completely unharmed. Thank you, Daytona. Matthias

Totally satisfied 200,000 km

My Daytona Road Star GTX boots, which I have now worn for over 200,000 km (with one new sole replacement), accompanied me to Nepal and were perfect for the off-road conditions there. I wouldn't buy any others; I am completely satisfied and would only recommend these. Best regards, Susanne

Daytona = dry feet

The only one to arrive home with dry feet after a tour in the pouring rain – the only one wearing Daytona boots.

Stay safe on the road...

... on the Irish coast in my Daytona boots.

Really great. There's only one brand for me.

Hello dear Daytona team, I bought a new motorcycle this year and enjoyed riding over 8,000 km on various tours. In late summer, I went on a week-long tour of Tuscany with friends, and as always, my boots were a faithful companion! Whether riding through the rain over the Alpine passes, sightseeing in small Italian towns, hunting for curves in Tuscany, or chilling on the sunny beach! After we had circumnavigated the island of Elba, we went to one of the many beaches and the boots also took a little break ;O) My Daytona Spirit GTX is now probably 10 years old, but with a little care it still looks great and works really well! For me, there is only one brand of motorcycle boots: Daytona! Have a good ride and best regards, Matthias

My heirloom

My Daytona Arrow Sport, which I inherited, and me. It has accompanied me on every ride so far, including my very first motorcycle vacation. The tour went from Germany to Austria, Slovenia, through Italy, and back home again. Unfortunately, my two passengers are not in the photo; they had to encourage me for the passes ahead and take pictures of me.

Worth every cent

I bought my first Daytona boots 27 years ago. The soles were replaced once at the factory. I've traveled all over Europe in them and they've been through it all, whether snow, rain, dust, or 40 degrees Celsius—no problem at all. Now, after 150,000 km, they are getting on in years, but they are still in amazingly good shape. Even though I bought new ones, I still keep them for day trips. I have also recommended Daytona to my friends, and they are thrilled. Sure, Daytona isn't cheap, but these handmade boots are worth every cent. Sole worn out? No problem, send them in and they'll come back like new.

April 2023 Costa Smeralda – with daytona, of course

Once to North Cape and back

20 years and more

I've had my old Daytonas for over 20 years and don't want to part with them. The new boots are like slippers and will be worn until they fall apart. Let's see which lasts longer.

All day comfort.

Thats me with the football T shirt on.

Quality, reliability, sustainability: that's why Daytona

Dear Daytona Team, As a small group of motorcycle enthusiasts, we have been taking regular trips to northern Italy for many years. This year, Lake Kaltern was once again on the list, and on the way there, the first stop at the Fern Pass was a must. My Strive GTX (I'm on the far left) accompanied me reliably, as in previous years, this time in pouring rain. I'm currently putting together a small package to send my Journey XCR to Daytona because, despite careful handling, the decades have left their mark and I want to have them checked to see if they are still worth repairing or if I just need to win the Shortys (in size 46) :-) But that's exactly why I've only worn boots from this brand throughout my entire motorcycling life: the quality, the reliability, and also the possibility of being sustainable by having them repaired when necessary. Keep up the good work! Best regards, J. Burkhart

For me, only Daytona boots matter.

Old vs. new, after 20 years and a new sole 6 years ago, these boots are now retiring. They've covered 200,000 km and seen quite a bit of the world, but unfortunately they're no longer waterproof. Now the new ones are ready to go, exactly the same as the old ones, and I'll be exploring Greece and the Balkans with them. For me, only Daytona boots count. Thank you, Thomas Wendt, Finsterbergen/Thuringia.

My best boots

I have been riding motorcycles since 2013, having started at the age of 53. My only and best boots are a pair of Daytona Spirit XCRs, which have accompanied me for 56,000 kilometres. This includes 2 trips to the Maritime Alps, the Rhön, the Bavarian Forest, 2 trips to the Großglockner, Corsica, etc.

Lake Garda 2024 – naturally in Daytona boots

Ankle-deep in water. Tight.

I have been riding the Travel Star GTX since 2010. Years ago, I experienced a storm on the Nockalmstraße in Carinthia, where I ended up standing ankle-deep in water at the toll station. And the boot was waterproof. The only thing that's coming to the end of its life now is the sole... but you can have that replaced at Daytona... I'll get that sorted in November. Best regards, Daniel
