The Alpinestars performance riding shoe is a class-leading, low-cut boot engineered to provide an optimized blend of comfort, protection, and durability. Constructed from an advanced, lightweight microfiber, the main upper ensures excellent abrasion resistance while remaining comfortable for long periods on or off the bike.
For superior protection, this shoe features a high modulus TPU heel counter, lateral ankle support, and an ergonomic shift pad for enhanced durability in critical wear areas. The double density ankle protectors are layered under the upper to offer high levels of impact absorption, while the internal toe box protection provides a refined feel and improved performance. A standout safety feature is the integrated Alpinestars Transversal Protection Frame (TPF) within the sole, which protects the foot against potential transversal loads without sacrificing comfort.
Technical innovations include:
- Innovative heel counter support system that works with a strap closure for improved structural integrity and fit.
- Rear flex zones designed with soft TPR inserts to allow for freedom of ankle movement and precise control on the bike.
- Rear flex bellow equipped with a ventilation window that acts as an air intake for effective airflow.
- Thermowelded flex grooves on the instep, medial, and back areas to control the shoe's flexibility.
- Integrated, replaceable bi-injected TPU forefoot slider featuring an easy-screw fixing concept for quick replacement.
The closure system is designed for a secure, personalized fit. It features a front Velcro® system over the instep area with aramidic fiber wires for a thin, lightweight, and durable finish. An evolved closure strap is anatomically angled to follow the natural shape of the rider’s instep, complemented by a reverse zip closure for convenient entry and exit.
Rider comfort is prioritized with an internal mesh lining for cooling and moisture-wicking performance. The removable anatomic foot-bed incorporates EVA foam and Lycra® for all-day support. For ultimate control, the exclusive compound rubber sole features advanced grip patterning to ensure excellent feel, water dispersion, and durability in all conditions.
