The boots feature an oil-resistant lugged rubber outsole designed to provide traction on motorcycle footpegs and wet asphalt. However, oil resistance applies to the outsole and does not mean the entire boot is oilproof or waterproof.

Waterproof construction or a waterproof membrane has not been specified for these boots. Although the outsole is oil-resistant and designed for traction on wet asphalt, this does not confirm waterproof protection for the boot itself.
