The Alpinestars Superfaster Shoe redefined the boundary between casual riding footwear and high-performance protection. Designed to offer shoe-like comfort with boot-like safety, this hybrid solution stands approximately 25 cm tall—providing significantly more coverage than standard performance shoes while remaining more agile than a full-scale sport boot.
The increased height of the Superfaster allows for the integration of sophisticated safety features. It includes a semi-rigid internal ankle brace system with malleolus impact protection and an Achilles extension protector. Riders also benefit from an integrated lower shin impact protector, double-injected ankle discs, and lateral TPR panels on the outer ankle. The reinforced TPU heel counter and TPR layered toe box with lateral slider reinforcement ensure comprehensive impact resistance on every ride.
Engineering excellence extends to the sole, which features the Alpinestars Transversal Protection Frame (TPF) midsole. This multi-layered architecture prevents the foot from bending or twisting in unnatural directions while maintaining the flexibility needed for daily wear. Comfort is further enhanced by soft PU foam, an EVA heel cushion, and a removable OrthoLite® insole, guaranteeing all-day walking and standing comfort.
The chassis is constructed from advanced microfiber and Rideknit® panels with seamless thermo-welded parts for a sleek, durable finish. For a secure and customized fit, the shoe utilizes a speed lace system combined with a long medial side zip opening for easy entry. The overall design is sculpted with an engineered flex point and a pre-bent forward construction, ensuring freedom of movement in the riding position and a low profile that fits easily under any riding pants.
Whether you are on the bike or walking through the city, the Superfaster offers a no-compromise experience. It looks like a sport shoe in denim, feels like your favorite sneaker, and protects like a dedicated racing boot.
