The Alpinestars Austral Gore-Tex Touring Shoe is a streamlined hi-top riding shoe designed for comfortable on-bike and off-bike use. This black and dark gray model is offered in US men's size 12 and EU size 45.5. Manufacturer part number and vendor part number 2337125-111-12 identify this specific configuration. The lightweight microfiber upper provides durable abrasion resistance, while the waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex liner helps keep feet dry during wet-weather riding.
Primaloft insulation is positioned around the forefoot and toe areas to provide targeted warmth without adding unnecessary bulk. The lace closure system offers a familiar, secure fit, while the wide-aperture entry and lateral adjustable hook-and-loop closure make the shoe easier to put on and allow for precise fit adjustment. A perforated microfiber and soft textile tongue, along with a breathable textile rear calf section, improve airflow and comfort during extended wear.
Protection is built into the touring-focused design with dual-density ankle protectors, a thermoplastic polyurethane heel counter, and internal toe box reinforcements. The asymmetric toe area provides added coverage over the shift zone, supporting regular motorcycle use while maintaining a streamlined profile. The rubber sole uses a grippy compound for traction and impact absorption, and its integrated support shank increases sole rigidity. A high-flex inner structure promotes walking comfort, while the removable anatomic EVA footbed with Lycra lining provides additional cushioning and support.
The Alpinestars Austral Gore-Tex Touring Shoe fits riders seeking waterproof protection, everyday comfort, and practical motorcycle-specific reinforcement in a versatile lace-up design. It is suitable for touring, commuting, and mixed riding conditions where reliable weather resistance and walkability are important.
