Certification information

The authorised UK distributor describes the Travel boots as CE approved, but Helstons' current technical-document index does not list a model-specific Travel conformity document. Moto Central therefore does not state an EN 13634 level or present an unverified certificate as current.

Size and fit guide

The authorised UK distributor specifies EU 40 to EU 46 for the Travel family, matching the seven variants on this Shopify listing. Helstons does not publish a current Travel-specific UK conversion chart, so unverified conversions have been omitted.

Try the boots with your usual riding socks. The fit should hold the heel securely without painful pressure across the toes, instep or ankle.

Product questions

Are the Helstons Travel boots waterproof?
The boots use an internal rainproof membrane and a treated leather surface. No laboratory waterproof rating is published, so care and prolonged exposure will affect real-world performance.

What protection is built in?
The supplier specification includes reinforced toe, heel and ankle areas, a gear-selector panel and a supportive sole shank.

How should I care for the leather?
Helstons recommends gentle cleaning with a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth and mild soap, followed by careful rinsing and natural drying. Use a suitable neutral leather conditioner after testing it on a discreet area, and avoid machine washing, tumble drying, oils, alcohol-based products and prolonged soaking.
