The Alpinestars CR-8 Gore-Tex riding shoes are designed for touring riders who need dependable weather protection, motorcycle-specific safety, and comfortable off-bike mobility. Finished in Black/Grey/Blue, these US 9.5 / EU 42.5 shoes feature a higher-cut design than the CR-X Drystar shoes and use a 100% waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex membrane to help keep feet dry and comfortable in changing riding conditions. The stretch waterproof outer bootie construction is complemented by breathable textile panels and an angled waterproof zipper closure.
Inside, the CR-8 incorporates a speed-lace internal closure system for a secure, adjustable fit. An Alpinestars TPF transversal protection frame midsole helps provide structural support and protection, while multiple-layer malleolus protection, a reinforced heel counter, and a reinforced toe box help shield key areas during riding. The elasticated collar supports a comfortable, secure fit around the ankle, and the 10 mm drop promotes natural walking ergonomics when transitioning off the motorcycle.
A removable OrthoLite insock enhances cushioning, breathability, and all-day comfort for touring use. The Alpinestars CR-8 Gore-Tex riding shoes are suitable for motorcycle touring, commuting, and travel in wet or variable weather. This product is manufactured by Alpinestars and identified by manufacturer part number 233822412859.5 and vendor part number 34053302.
