Alpinestars Tech Touring WP Boots

Constructed using full grain leather bonded with a Gore-Tex® membrane for the ultimate in waterproof performance
Fitted with instep and Achilles flex zones which work together to provide the rider with freedom of lateral movement
The boot features a host of safety features including dual density ankle protection, internally molded shin, heel and toe reinforcements and a PU toe shifter panel which provides feel and protection around the fore-foot and prevents pinching when changing gear
The Gore-Tex® membrane provides a 100% waterproof lining whilst maintaining excellent levels of breathability, providing the perfect boot for year round riding
Complex multi-layer construction consists of full grain leather outer and a protective knit layer bonded above the main Gore-Tex® membrane
Under this a non-woven layer sits above the internal lining, ensuring that the foot stays dry and comfortable at all times
The Gore-Tex® membrane contains 9 billion microscopic pores per square inch, which are large enough to allow heat vapor out but, being 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, makes the membrane completely waterproof from the outside
A rear reflective insert provides extra visibility at nighttime
Alpinestars’ exclusive vulcanized compound oil resistant sole provides a seamless connection to the boot and provides optimum grip, performance and durability

Sizing Information:

The overall fit/size of this new style seems “true” to their published size chart (see below), so if you are comfortable with a certain size from previous boots, then choose the same size. I’d consider the width of the men’s sizes to be normal to slightly wide (D or E).

The Tech Touring WP boot is a premium design. Most waterproof boots are constructed with a membrane that is installed in the boot between the outer shell and the interior lining. The material is thin and it looks a lot like a latex glove. But this boot employs a new technology whereby the GoreTex is bonded to the inside surface of the leather. The advantage is that the membrane is less likely to become damaged or pinched and will keep out water better. The outer shell of this boot is high quality cowhide and should break in to be very comfortable. The armor includes an outside ankle bone protector (hidden) and a molded shin protector. The toe box and heel cup have internal stiffeners as well. The sole is thin enough for good control, but should provide long wear. Overall I like the boots very much (and I should for the price, right!). Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above to see some close-ups.
