Boot & Shoe Parts & Spares
About Boot & Shoe Parts & Spares
Riding boots take a beating from pegs, shifters, rocks and mud, and the small parts fail before the boot does. Buckles crack, straps wear out, laces fray and insoles flatten, and replacing the small part keeps a good boot in use.
Parts are sold for specific boots, so match them by boot model first. The listings here include buckle and lever kits, strap kits and strap receivers named for boot models such as the Blitz XR and the Maverik, as well as laces and replacement insoles. Check the listing for what the kit contains and how many pieces it covers, because some are sold per boot and others as a set.
Rechargeable heated insoles with a remote are listed too, for cold-weather riding. A cracked sole, a broken shank or a crushed toe box is a different matter: that is damage to the boot's protection, and the boot should be replaced. Complete boots are in Boots & Shoes, and socks are in Socks.
Brands here include THOR, Fly Racing and Arctiva. Related categories are Over Boots and Gloves, all in Motorcycle & Powersports Gear. If you are unsure which part is yours, this guide on avoiding fitment mistakes covers how to check.
FAQs on boot buckles, straps and insoles
How do I know which buckle or strap kit fits my boots?
Match the boot's exact model name, and in some cases the model year, to the kit's listing. Buckles, levers and straps are made for specific boots and are not interchangeable. The kit's contents are stated in the listing.
Can I replace boot buckles myself?
Often, yes. Many kits attach with screws or rivets, and the listing or the maker's instructions say which tools you need. Make sure the strap, buckle and receiver are all fitted properly and secure before you ride.
When are boots too worn to repair?
Replace the boots if the sole is separating, the shank is bent, the structure is cracked or the toe box is crushed. Small parts such as straps, buckles, laces and insoles can be swapped, but damaged protective structure cannot be repaired.
Are replacement insoles worth fitting?
Worn insoles lose cushioning and support, which can make the boots less comfortable on a long day. A replacement that suits the boot can refresh the fit. Keep the same thickness so the boot does not feel tight.
