Australia boots
21 Apr 2026 by Steve
Lovely quality. This is my second pair of Alpinestars shorty boots. The first ones are still waterproof after 5years so with an upcoming tour I wanted another pair of shorties. Very comfy on and off bike. The small heel helps plant your feet better on the footrest. Not tried in the rain yet. I hope its dry in Spain!

Comfortable

Very comfortable boots, could wear them all day. Would recommend trying before buying as im usually a size 8 and had to get the 9.5. Not used in the rain but did use them at 4 degrees and my feet were nice and warm.

Great comfortable riding short boots.

Very comfortable to walk in, you definitely need to go a size up, the tying of the laces & velcro strap is annoying, but I think the strap will loosen off as time goes.
Good looking boot, very sturdy and you feel the protection once on.
It's my first time with Alpinestars as I'm normally a Sidi man. Not been out in bad weather, but you don't need to worry about getting soggy feet with gore tex built in.

Bought these boots for fair weather riding, but have been caught out a few times in downpours. Surprisingly waterproof. Very comfortable on and off bike.

First motorcycle boots

Comfortable whilst walking around, training for my Mod1 and riding around town or dual carriageway speeds, fits to size and felt protected the whole time they were being used.
Easy to lace up and fasten, good choice for anyone looking for a safe pair of boots

Very impressed

I like these a lot. The seem very well made, and that shank does add good stiffness where its needed, though still has plenty of bend at the ball part for any walking. Size-wise, I thought they were perfect. Can definitely recommend.

Great boots
09 Nov 2024 by Jon M
The best short boots I have owned and are good at pretty much everything. Soles are nice and stiff when on the pegs but very easy to walk in. Comfortable, feel very protective for a short boot, waterproof and breathable.
They look pretty good as well, but still look a bit like a bike boot.
A great buy and worth the money.
SBS are the best for customer service and speed of delivery.
I am a uk 7 in trainers and EU41 fit perfectly.
