Moreover they nicely fill a hole in our lineup—this relatively short-cuffed riding boot is one of the few we carry that doesn’t tout waterproofness as a feature, and that’s a good thing for riding or walking in the summer heat.
In lieu of a waterproof membrane sandwiched between the boot’s liner and outer shell, the Ace gets a supple calfskin liner that’s comfortable from Day One, and their quick-access zipper makes slipping in and out of the boots a cinch.
A rugged, long-wearing sole is bonded to the boot’s upper, which is made of full-grain cowhide that’ll patina up nicely from regular use.
One thing they don’t have is stitched on shifter patch, which is a benefit if you’re looking to fly under the radar.
The Ace boots do come with an optional shifter protector, and if you both A) plan on using these as business-casual option for the workplace, and B) have a shifter that’s ragged enough to abrade your boot or C) a leaky shift-shaft seal that might leave you with oil-stained leather, and/or D) are diagnosed OCD—then it’s a good thing to have.
Otherwise, use the boots as regular boots, sans shifter condom. And keep the elastic shifter strap-on for use as an ad hoc eyepatch or slingshot.

- Natural full-grain leather upper
- PU internal malleolus protection on medial and lateral
- Removable elastic shift protector

About The Brand
Staylmartin is an Italian brand that under its original heydey was a big player in offroad racing, and then later in the 1990s Grand Prix circuits, with riders like Steadie Eddie Lawson racing in Stylmartin boots. The brand was acquired and "rebooted" (sorry) in 2007 by another Italian footwear company, with factory operations in Romania, and today produces what we now know today as the modern Stylmartin collection of classic protective motorcycle boots.Moreover they nicely fill a hole in our lineup—this relatively short-cuffed riding boot is one of the few we carry that doesn’t tout waterproofness as a feature, and that’s a good thing for riding or walking in the summer heat.
