Held Yune ladies boots in black

This is a ladies-only motorcycle boot, even though it may not look it; that is to say that it’s not a downsized version of a men’s boot. It’s a boot for the lady looking for a bit of a ‘bovver boot, look. It’s a motorcycle-engineered version of a Doc Martin.

The boot is made from cowhide. It is lined entirely with soft polyester, although you also get extra-thick padding on the ankles. There’s a super-strong counter in the toe. You get something similar in the heel. On both feet, there’s a gear change pad. For easier exit and entry, you get a zip up the inside of the boot. The boot has a thick midsole which is bonded to a rugged, non-slip Vibram outsole. The faux stitching makes the Yune look as though it is Goodyear welted, but it’s actually not.

The Yune is the embodiment of a certain look. Some ladies will love them; others may find it lacks a certain femininity. 

One thing that should be borne in mind is that it has a broad fit and a generous toe box; even held themselves reckon that you should go one size down on your usual size. If you’re normally a 37, go for a 36.
