Alpinestars CR-8 Gore-Tex® Riding Shoes - Black/Grey/Red, US 8.5 / EU 41

The Alpinestars CR-8 Gore-Tex® riding shoes are engineered for serious touring riders who demand durability, comfort, and weather resistance in any conditions. Featuring a higher cut design and distinctive aesthetics compared to the CR-X Drystar® shoes, these boots combine style with function. The Gore-Tex® membrane ensures 100% waterproof and breathable performance, allowing you to stay dry and comfortable during long rides in rain or shine. Constructed from a stretch waterproof outer bootie with breathable textile panels, they provide a flexible yet protective fit that adapts to your movements.

An angled waterproof zipper closure offers secure fastening and ease of use, while an internal bootie with a quick-lace system ensures a snug, customizable fit. The internal construction includes Alpinestars' TPF transversal protection frame midsole and multiple-layer malleolus protection, delivering excellent impact absorption and ankle support. Reinforced heel counters and toe boxes further enhance durability and protection against road hazards. The removable OrthoLite® insock adds to the overall comfort and breathability, making these shoes suitable for extended wear. An elasticated collar improves ankle mobility, and a 10 mm heel drop provides optimal walking ergonomics when off the bike.

Designed with the touring rider in mind, the CR-8 Gore-Tex® shoes combine advanced protective features with everyday comfort. The lightweight construction, weighing approximately 80 ounces, makes them suitable for long-distance riding without sacrificing mobility. Whether navigating city streets or exploring off-the-beaten-path routes, these riding shoes deliver the performance, protection, and weather resistance you need for adventure in any weather conditions.
