Product Details
The Helstons Basket C5 leather motorcycle boots in Aniline Black combine the relaxed appearance of high-top trainers with construction intended for motorcycle use. Full-grain cowhide, a complete cowhide leather lining and a stitched sole give this low-profile design a traditional leather build for urban riding and everyday wear.
Who are the Helstons Basket C5 boots for?
These ankle-height motorcycle boots suit riders who prefer casual footwear styling rather than the appearance of a tall touring boot. Their understated Aniline Black finish works easily with riding jeans and other urban motorcycle clothing.

Product questions
Are the Basket C5 boots waterproof?
Helstons does not specify a waterproof membrane or water-resistant treatment for this model. Treat them as leather motorcycle footwear rather than waterproof touring boots.
Are they made from calfskin?
No. Helstons specifies full-grain cowhide for the upper and cowhide leather for the complete lining.
What certification do Helstons publish?
Helstons currently states that the product is tested and compliant with the applicable standard, but the current product page does not publish a standard number or protection level.
Can Moto Central help with sizing?
Yes. Visit the Moto Central showroom to try motorcycle footwear with your usual riding socks, or contact the team before ordering if you are between sizes.
Leather care
Clean gently with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and suitable mild soap, then allow the leather to dry naturally. Feed it regularly with an appropriate black leather cream. Avoid prolonged contact with water, abrasive surfaces, alcohol and oils. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron.
