Ducati says they deliver high performance both while riding and walking, adapting to a wide range of riding conditions and everyday use scenarios.

- Non-slip, abrasion-resistant Vibram rubber sole
- Reinforced areas on the toe, heel and ankle for protection without sacrificing style
- Reinforced technical fabric
- Reflective inserts
- Velcro strap for functionality and fit
- Sport-touring boot for urban and off-road use, with a dynamic style; lightweight and comfortable even off the bike
- Boot for touring enthusiasts, with minimalist and distinctive lines and a comfortable fit for long-distance riding and walking
- Ankle boots with a clean, distinctive style for urban commutes and medium- and long-distance road trips
Ducati describes the three models as featuring solutions that guarantee versatility and accompany the rider in every condition, road and season. The Ducati Corse City C3 is aimed at those seeking protection without sacrificing style and comfort, while the Strada C4 is built to make long-distance riding and walking enjoyable, fun and safe. The Company C4 ankle boots combine a clean, distinctive style with a high level of comfort and protection, with technical features developed to ensure safety and well-being both on and off the bike. Ducati says the unmistakable design reflects the Ducati spirit.

Ducati says quality materials such as Gore-Tex and Vibram ensure excellent performance and comfort without sacrificing style. The Ducati Corse City C3, Strada C4 and Company C4 boots are available at the Ducati dealer network and on Shop.Ducati.com.
