Lady Rock boots

First shown as a prototype at EICMA in 2015 , ' Lady Rock ' was mainly aimed at the pillion passenger looking for a fashionable ankle boot . The cropped calf leather upper with a leopard print pattern caught the eye of the female audience , and their interest and enthusiasm convinced Stylmartin to put it into production . Although a passenger-specific boot does not require many of the heavy duty rider boot protective features , this is still a high-spec boot that retains certain signature elements such as the Vibram sole with its anti-slip grip and a breathable and waterproof lining . Fastening is by laces ; the removable / changeable footbed is made from breathable , anatomically designed microfibre .
