These 30-centimeter high, newly developed motorcycle boots are mainly aimed at the sporty motorcyclist, both on track and on public roads. Flexibility and anatomy are the key words. You can combine this boot with a full race suit or with (motor)jeans.
Flexibility first: the striking accordion panels at the front and back ensure optimal freedom of movement on and off the bike. The SMX-6 V2 GORE-TEX is equipped with the well-known membrane, which doesn't let moisture in, but lets it out. Breathable, but waterproof, which makes this boot usable all year round.
Anatomy then. The TPU ankle brace is a striking eye-catcher on the SMX-6 V2. It allows for comfortable movement, but supports the ankle in the event of a crash. The heel and shin, which are also vulnerable in the event of a crash, are made from hard TPU. Reinforcements on the sole and the toes are obvious, just like the shifting reinforcement. The GORE-TEX version of the SMX-6 V2 does not come with a toe slider.
Made of durable and breathable (patented and new) microfiber material, this boot offers great value for money in the form of strength and comfort. A removable anatomical footbed with EVA and lycra especially enhance the latter. The Alpinestars exclusive rubber compound sole offers improved water drainage and good grip.
The large (side) entry makes it easy for almost everyone to get into the boot. Opening and closing is done by means of a zipper and velcro system for optimal fit. The puller of the zipper can be attached inside the boot, so it is not in the way.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
