Understanding the EN 13634:2017 Standard

Many riders prefer the casual look of riding sneakers. However, to ensure you are truly protected, always look for the CE certification label inside the shoe or boot.

Motorcycle footwear certified to EN 13634:2017 has been independently tested to meet specific safety requirements for riders, helping protect against impacts, abrasion, and crushing forces.

Decoding the 4-Digit Safety Code

When you look at a CE label, you will see four numbers (for example: 1 2 2 1).

These numbers represent the performance level achieved during testing:

• Height: 1 (Ankle Height) or 2 (High Boot)
• Abrasion Resistance: How long the material resists sliding against a road surface.
• Impact Cut Resistance: Protection against sharp objects and cuts.
• Transverse Rigidity: The "crush test" that measures sole strength and resistance to compression.

Level 1 vs. Level 2

CE Level 1

• Ideal for urban commuting and everyday riding.
• Provides essential protection while maintaining flexibility and comfort.

CE Level 2

• Designed for higher speeds and maximum protection.
• Offers greater resistance to impact, abrasion, and crushing forces.

Conclusion

A true motorcycle riding shoe or boot is an investment in your safety. Unlike ordinary footwear, CE-certified motorcycle footwear is specifically designed to provide protection, comfort, and durability for motorcycle riders.
