Alpinestars Supertech-R Vented Boots
Alpinestars Supertech R boot is the newest high performance/racing boot, constructed with hi-tech micro-fiber and designed to meet light weight and performance requirements in top level racing. The front flex area is constructed with a soft TPU mesh with shaped reliefs for abrasion resistance and natural forward and back movements. Flexible accordion synthetic leather at Achilles allows natural movement. Top gaiter follows leg contour and is made of flexible high-grade synthetic leather reinforced with rubber for maintaining shape. Full length micro-fiber panel on inner side of the boot provides a smooth surface for excellent grip and feel against the bike and protects from abrasion and heat. A lightweight rubber compound sole offers excellent grip and feel and allows for natural flex as the rider changes position and pressure on the foot-peg. Strategically positioned ventilation in heel and shin TPU, and soft TPU mesh on forefoot guides air through the boot. The separate inner boot works with outer boot to form a protective system and external TPU shin protection wraps around to outer calf and is engineered to spread and dissipate impact energy across the entire surface while remaining compact. Clip-on toe-slider provides excellent feedback and protects the outer toe box structure from abrasion. (Upgradeable to a magnesium slider). Replaceable TPU heel plate slider protects from impact and reduces friction in the event of an off. Outside entry/exit has stretch accordion panel for a close fit and ease of entrance and removal. Bio-mechanical ankle bracing boot has double hinged inner and outer torsion bars to progressively absorb flex and rotation stress on the ankle and reduce pressure and hyper extension injury to lower leg joints. Inner ankle brace constructed with fiberglass charged polyamide and ergonomically designed closed cell padding for protection and comfort.

Q: How do these boots fit?
A: They tend to run a size bigger than most Astars boots, so we recommend to order a size smaller than you normally wear.
Q: Are these boots comfortable?
A: Yes they are. Many racing boots can be very rigid and don't make a good option for long period use or for walking around in, however the Supertech R boots are flexible enough and offer sufficient comfort for daily use.
Q: Is the lacing system and inner boot annoying to put on and take off?
A: Not really. Although they make take a little bit longer to put on, once you get used to them, they are a breeze.
Q: Should I get the perforated option?
A: It really depends on the climate in which you ride. For warm weather, the ventilation allows your feet to breathe and get some cool air while riding. Although, you have to also consider if you will also be using them for cold weather rides or wet conditions. In that case the non-perforated boots would be a better option.
Q: Why should I buy these boots instead of other boots in this price range?
A: In our opinion, the Supertech R boots are the most comfortable high end racing boot. They can not only be used on the track but also comfortable enough for daily use. The system of securing your ankle is better than many other brands, and which will offer you superior protection against injury.
