More about this item
Dust Rider, handmade boots built and designed for the ride. The design takes inspiration from 70’s motocross boots: 9 inches tall, with a padded leg protector stitched in cross-diamond pattern, a nod to the aluminum protectors you’d see on vintage MX boots. With a gusseted tongue, speed hooks, Vibram soles, and Wickett & Craig roughout leather to wrap it all together. And something you never see: a Gaerne Fastback toe cap on a handmade leather boots. A statement that these pairs are built to shreds, not just to look good on your gram. It’s my first time designing boots, shaped by my experiences wearing Dakar boots and Engineer boots from Fortis BootsSee background

Travel
I wear Dust Rider as daily pair of boots, mostly on my motorcycle / enduro ride. I ride frequently on rough terrain, river crossing, cross country, and occasionally dirt race. The boots build perfectly for hard usage.

Color Change
The most notably process during 6 months are color evolution. Started from natural color, now it went to darker shade and beautiful rough out patina. The rough out leather also make it durable even with constant exposure to water and sun.

Satisfied with the Fit
The fitment on these boots are great, especially because I have Sanny measure my feet directly. The only regrets I have is not to make it 12” height - I only went for 10”
Craftsmanship
Fortis Boots Dust Rider
As Fortis craftmanship - no explanation needed. It constructed well and durable built. No stitches fallout or whatever. The thing is this is the first time we put a metal toe found in motocross boots into a workwear boots, and after 6 months, the metal toe not showing any signs of falling apart

A Truly Perfect Match
Fortis Antasena Sidezip in Indonesian Black TeacoreBy KVanDev • April 5, 2025"These boots have seen a lot of wear the last six months. I work on my feet and walk a lot, I averaged right at 6 miles a day per wear for a total of 859 miles in the six months of the competition. I would occasionally go on light hikes in them to see the surrounding marshland we have here in southeast Texas. My biggest passion in life is dancing and during the thunderdome I went dancing 45 times in these boots, and with a total of 143 wears, this means roughly 30% of my wears involved dancing at some point. And they danced and walked of course here locally, but also saw trips to New York City and Japan! In my two weeks in Japan they had well over 100 miles of wear, 4 salsa nights, and countless memories made there. They hiked along a rocky shore in Wakayama, crossed through the Shibuya scramble, climbed hundreds of flights of stairs, drunkenly walked through Golden Gai and Dotonburi, ran 6 miles through the rain when I missed the train back to my hotel from Shinjuku to Nippori. These boots and I lived and experienced so much, and they handled it all incredibly well...."Read the full review
A Life Changing Pair
Fortis Tapak 2.0 Engineer Boots in Indonesian Dark Brown Pull UpBy KVanDev • April 5, 2024"These boots went pretty much everywhere with me and did whatever I needed them to do, and did it well. They were great for just tossing on to run out to do a quick errand, work and stand on concrete for eight hours, walking 10+ miles in, hiking on trails, dancing cumbia and bachata on the dance floor, and so many other things. They handled everything well. Water was never an issue with them either, as they on several occasions held up and kept my feet dry in nearly calf deep water during some extremely heavy rain. I walked over 650 miles in these boots, wore them 161 out of the possible 183 days, went dancing 20 times in them and they just took it all and looked good while doing it. They will continue to see many more things, including in May they will be on my feet as I graduate from college, plenty more shifts at work, and of course more dance floors...."Read the full review

Great versatile boots from Fortis!
Fortis Goldrush in Badalassi Carlo Cognac MinervaBy Zeonic • April 4, 2025"I wore these for the open dome so I primarily wore them to the office and on walks. There was one muddy day that I wore them and they did really well. I tested them in standing water and they didn't leak very fast at all so I think they can work as work boots after the dome too...."Read the full review
