Alpinestars tech-1 t boots blk / wht / org / fl

The redesigned Tech-1 T offers drivers optimal levels of comfort, fit and feel. Featuring a cowhide and suede construction with a suede collar , the shoe features a cutout section in the heel to allow movement while operating the pedals without pressure points while riding. Every aspect of the shoe has been carefully considered to keep the weight as low as possible; the velcro strap is single-layered to add lightness while ensuring there are no pressure points on the instep, and the classic lace closure system features hidden loops on the sides and in the middle to ensure a fit comfortable but unrestricted.

The new rubber outsole, which mimics the tread of an asymmetric tire, is water repellent and oil resistant to offer high levels of grip and thicker to improve comfort levels in and out of the car, while the outsole media offers reassuring levels of cushioning. Other neat touches include an outer toe guard for comfort and durability, and a Nomex® lining to protect the entire foot from heat.
