The Alpinestars CR-8 Gore-Tex riding shoes are designed for touring riders who need dependable waterproof protection, breathable comfort, and motorcycle-specific support in changing weather. Finished in Black/Grey/Blue and offered in US 12.5 / EU 46, these shoes feature a higher-cut design and distinct styling compared with the CR-X Drystar shoes. The Gore-Tex membrane helps keep rain and road spray out while allowing moisture vapor to escape, making the CR-8 suitable for long-distance travel and everyday riding.
Built by manufacturer Alpinestars and supplied under vendor part number 2338224128512.5, the CR-8 uses a stretch waterproof outer bootie with breathable textile panels, an angled waterproof zipper, and an internal speed-lace closure system. An elasticated collar improves comfort and helps limit water entry around the opening. The removable OrthoLite insock supports cushioning and breathability, while the 10 mm drop promotes a natural walking position when transitioning from the motorcycle to off-bike activities.
Protection is integrated throughout the shoe for motorcycle fitment and touring use. The Alpinestars TPF transversal protection frame midsole helps provide structural support and flex control, while multilayer malleolus protection, a reinforced heel counter, and a reinforced toe box help protect key areas of the foot. The Alpinestars CR-8 Gore-Tex riding shoes are a practical choice for riders seeking waterproof touring footwear that remains comfortable and functional both on and off the motorcycle.
