Love these hightops
24 Oct 2025 by NickR
Went into store and tried on lots of different hightop trainer style boots and these were by far the best fit. Comfortable from new and super comfortable after just a couple of wears. Waterproof even in relatively heavy rain and fairly warm even on cooler days. Perfectly fine to wear off the bike as they don't look like bike boots.

Comfortable and dry
13 Oct 2025 by Dean
These look the part both on and off the bike, I regularly wear these all day after riding to work. They are waterproof with the obvious limitations of it being a shorter boot so if you don't cover the top of the boot with something waterproof they will leak in from the top. They're not very breathable so on a hot day you will get sweaty.

Comfy pair of boots

Really comfy pair of boots. Ideal for commute to the office as they look like a pair of normal shoes. Needed to go 1 size up though because they are narrow fitting.

Great boots
27 Sep 2025 by James
Tried on several boots but attracted to these by the quality and previous experience with Alpine Stars. Very comfortable from first use and I am sure will bed in even more. Stylish on or off the bike and suit my Guzzi. Being waterproof means I can use all year round

Good for riding and walking
24 Sep 2025 by Chris
I was looking for a pair of boots that I could use for the work commute involving a long walk. These work brilliantly, both for riding and walking, and look great on or off the bike. I got caught in a heavy downpour and yes, they are waterproof.

A more casual looking boot but with everything you

I really like that these boots look like nice high top trainers. They can be worn with regular clothing and nobody would know they’re motorcycle boots. They’re comfortable, durable and waterproof!

Very comfy
15 Aug 2025 by Gary.
Wanted an urban type boot/shoe that I could wear with jeans and walk around without having to get changed etc and these do the trick very well. Not had chance to se how waterproof these are yet but so far they are very comfy, look good with casual clothes and fit well. Well worth buying.

Look good, may need to size up

Reason for only 3 stars is part of the shoe on the inside digs into my foot and can be very uncomfortable, it's only on the one shoe so it could just be that I got unlucky because putting my hand into them the way the inside is put together slightly different on each shoe and it's that part that digs in. Once worn in it is not as bad but still present.
