5 Best Motorcycle Shoes Under $100

There are motorcycle boots and then there are motorcycle shoes. The best motorcycle shoes look a lot more like regular street shoes but they still provide good protection and are designed with motorcycle riding in mind. Still, you need to find the best motorcycle shoes, not just any.

I’m not going to lie and say they’re just as good at protecting your feet as some sturdy and well-made motorcycle boots. Generally, motorcycle boots will beat shoes when it comes to protection, but motorcycle shoes still offer good protection and can be so much more convenient and comfortable.

The motorcycle shoes below can be found by various retailers for under $100. That doesn’t mean you’ll always be able to find them for that price, but often, they’ll be there or well below that. Let’s dive in.

The 5 Best Allen Wrench Sets for Motorcycles

While the typical wrench you’ll need to work on your bike will likely be a socket wrench or even an adjustable wrench in some cases, I’ve been seeing more and more bikes that require Allen wrench sets, also known as hex keys or hex wrenches.

These wrenches are honestly great because they’re small and easy to carry with you. This makes them easily packable for a nice long ride, but they’ll also come in handy in your home workshop. They’re also affordable, easy to find, and easy to use.

With all that said, you want to make sure you’re buying a quality Allen wrench set. Here are my top five picks.

The 5 Best Adjustable Wrenches for Motorcycles

So, if you’re going to use an adjustable wrench for a job on your motorcycle to fix an issue or do some maintenance, then you need to make sure you have the best one out there.

Here are my top five picks for the best adjustable wrenches out there for use on motorcycles.
