Motorcycle riders are highly vulnerable to injuries in accidents due to the lack of protective barriers around them. Motorcycle footwear protects riders' feet and ankles from impacts, abrasions, and burns in case of crashes or falls. As safety concerns become more prominent among riders, there's a growing demand for footwear that offers enhanced protection.
Additionally, as economies grow and urbanization increases, more people enter the middle class and seek affordable transportation options, thus driving up motorcycle ownership. Thus, the rising motorcycle ownership globally is propelling the market's growth.
However, Motorcycle footwear often has a higher price tag than regular footwear due to the specialized materials, construction techniques, and safety features required for motorcycle riding.

In conclusion, the high cost of motorcycle footwear is hampering the market's growth.
