The Alpinestars CR-8 Gore-Tex riding shoes are designed for touring riders who need dependable comfort and protection in changing weather conditions. This higher-cut model provides a distinctive alternative to the CR-X Drystar shoes while delivering the waterproof, breathable performance of a Gore-Tex membrane. The black, grey, and red colorway offers a practical riding look suitable for extended travel and everyday motorcycle use.
Built with a stretch waterproof outer bootie and breathable textile panels, the CR-8 helps keep moisture out while supporting airflow and comfort. An angled waterproof zipper provides secure closure, while the inner bootie uses a speed-lace system for an adjustable fit. The elasticated collar helps improve comfort around the ankle, and the removable OrthoLite insole supports breathability and cushioning during long rides or walking off the motorcycle.
Protection is integrated throughout the shoe with an Alpinestars TPF transverse protection frame midsole, multilayer malleolus protection, a reinforced heel counter, and a reinforced toe box. A 10 mm drop promotes natural walking ergonomics when touring or stopping away from the bike. The Alpinestars CR-8 Gore-Tex riding shoes are sized US 11 / EU 44 and are intended for motorcycle touring and general street riding applications. The manufacturer part number and vendor part number are 2338224122211.
