This Italian-made leather boot boot is distinguished by its lack of laces, or traditional side zip.
Instead, Falco positions the zipper along the back of the boot, which allows for full-profile armor pucks at both the inside and outside of the ankle, and a clean look that works under any pant.
The resulting design is super clean, and makes a great city option for anyone looking to commute by bike to a place with a dress code, and not have to worry about packing a second pair of shoes.
This motorcycle-borne real-estate-agent special comes with reinforced toe and heel cups, D3O armor, and a waterproof/breathable membrane built-in for keeping dry and protected from the elements.
A hard-wearing molded rubber sole provides comfort and support, and because the lugged tread is inset from the perimeter of the sole, it gets away without looking like it has the great grip it does.
Make no mistake: this like many hybrid options is a light-duty boot ideal for urban motorcyclists who might otherwise find themselves riding in footwear with zero motorcycle-specific protection.
Are there plenty of more protective moto footwear options out there? Absolutely. Are there many that could double as formal wear, whether the office, the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride, or even a wedding? Not at all.
While it's tempting to ride in paddock-style boots (after all, they're "boots" shouldn't they be better than sneakers?) we take it as a professional obligation to educate anyone looking to ride a motorcycle in a pair of Blundstones, which were made for padding around, well, the paddock, on the farm, on foot. Not on a motorcycle.
While undeniably comfy and cool, any boot that can be slipped on as easily as an elastic-paneled Blundstone will just as easily find itself ejected from the wearer in the event of an unexpected get-off.
We'd rather have your boots stay on your feet for protection than see them being outlined in orange spray paint, 20 yards from the scene of an unexpected motorcycle accident.
/Rant.
The Legion 2 stands in briliantly as a paddock-style, minimalistic city boot. Stylistically, it's unlike almost any other boot in our catalog—save for the lace-less Belstaff Duration, which is notoriously hard to keep in stock.
- D3O ankle armor
- CE Certified
- Reinforced toe and heel
- Unique rear-zip for easy entry
- "High-Tex" waterproof membrane
- 80% genuine leather upper
- Hard-wearing molded rubber sole

*Pro tip: closing the rear-zipper of the Legion can be a two-handed job; one to operate the zipper, the other to keep the waterproof membrane from getting stuck in said zipper.

About The Brand
Falco got its start back in the 1990s in Northern Italy—a traditional hotbed of boot manufacturing with deep motorcycle roots.
While the full Falco lineup ranges from European road/touring booties to a couple of taller adventure options, we’ve found the latest middle-ground models to be the brand's most interesting offerings. All our Falco boots come with D3O armor and a CE certification for motorcycle use.
