Questions and answers
Are the Urbactive shoes waterproof?
They use a GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort membrane designed to prevent water entering while allowing moisture vapour to escape.

Are they suitable for walking?
Dainese designs the lightweight construction, Groundtrax® outsole and OrthoLite® footbed to improve comfort away from the motorcycle as well as grip while riding.
Are they insulated winter boots?
Dainese describes the Urbactive as three-season footwear and does not list a thermal liner. Sock choice and riding conditions will affect warmth.
