Top 5 Richa Winter Touring Boots – Stay Warm, Dry, and Protected This Winter

Winter touring doesn’t have to mean cold, wet feet. Belgian brand Richa has built a solid reputation for making motorcycle gear that actually works in real European winters – proper rain, slush, and sub-zero temperatures. Here are the five best Richa winter touring boots you can buy right now, ranked by how well they handle the worst the season can throw at you.

1. Richa Vulcan 2 WP Boots – The All-Weather King

If you could only own one pair of winter touring boots, make it the Vulcan 2 Waterproof. 

Full-grain leather upper, a proper Hipora® waterproof/breathable membrane, a thick thermal lining, and reinforced shin, ankle, and toe protection make these the toughest, warmest, and most versatile winter boot Richa makes. 

They’re tall enough to stop water running down your leg into the boot, the side zipper + Velcro flap is genuinely watertight, and the sole is grippy on wet surfaces. Riders regularly report staying warm and dry at near freezing temperatures on long rides. This is a unisex model. 

Price: $159 | Best for: long-distance touring in proper winter.

2. Richa Adventure X-Over WP Boots – The Adventure/Touring Hybrid

The perfect “do-it-all” boot if you mix tarmac touring with light off-road excursions. 

Zippered closure with cover flap to keep out water, it is a proper adventure boot, but with a lower, more road-friendly sole than full enduro boots. 100 % waterproof/breathable Aquashell membrane, D3O CE armor at ankle and shin, and ForceFlex plates in the soles and extra reinforcements in the toes and heel further contribute to safety.   

They’re surprisingly comfortable to walk in for hours (great for Iron Butt rallies or multi-day trips with sightseeing). 

Price: around $216 | Best for: riders who want one boot for road and occasional gravel.

3. Richa Adventure X-Over Mid Atop WP Boots – The Quick-Lace Version

Same DNA as the regular X-Over but with the brilliant Atop wire-lacing system instead of zippers. Twist the dial, and the boot tightens evenly in seconds – perfect when you’re wearing thick winter gloves. 

Shorter “mid” height (still fully waterproof), slightly lighter weight, and the same thermal performance. Many riders prefer the Mid version for everyday winter commuting and shorter tours because they’re easier to live with off the bike. 

Price: $244 | Best for: convenience freaks and commuters who tour.

4. Richa Apollo Boots – The Urban Winter Warrior

Don’t need full adventure height? The Apollo is Richa’s urban/touring calf-high boot with serious winter credentials. 

Waterproof Hipora membrane, integrated D3O CE ankle protectors, reflective panels, and a surprisingly warm lining. The leather is treated to shrug off road grime and salt, and the sole has excellent wet grip. 

The ForceFlex soles prevent both sole breakage and stress fractures during a fall or impact.

They look more like fashionable boots than typical motorcycle gear, so you don’t feel like a Power Ranger when you stop for coffee. 

Price: $168 | Best for: daily riders and weekend tourers who value style.

5. Richa Women’s JADE Boots – Specifically Built for Women

Finally, a women’s winter boot that isn’t just a shrunken men’s boot. Abrasion resistant 100% cow leather outside with a padded upper and cushioning within. The YKK side zipper makes it easy to get on and off. The Aquashell® lining keeps your feet dry when it’s wet outside.

Narrower heel, higher arch support, and a slightly lower overall volume, plus the same waterproof membrane and thermal lining as the men’s range. Available in black only. 

Female testers consistently say the JADE is warmer and drier than many “unisex” boots they’ve tried before. 

Price: $197 | Best for: women who are tired of cold toes and loose-fitting men’s boots.

Whichever pair you choose, Richa’s winter boots have one thing in common: they actually keep your feet warm and dry when lesser boots fail. Pick the one that matches your riding style, and winter miles will feel a lot less miserable.

Ride safe and stay warm!
