The Ride-63 is designed for riders who want discreet protection without sacrificing everyday wearability.

Internal toe box and heel counter reinforcements support a more ergonomic fit and enhanced protection. Alpinestars Transversal Protection Frame technology helps protect the foot and provide support on the motorcycle footrest while preserving forefoot flexibility for comfortable walking. The left shoe includes a shift pad zone engineered for use with a motorcycle gear shifter.
Comfort-focused construction includes strategically layered open-cell foam in the shift pad, ankle, and collar areas, along with a breathable mesh lining that promotes airflow. An anti-sliding microsuede heel adds durability and helps maintain a secure feel. The oil-resistant PU midsole incorporates an integrated heel disc for cushioning and shock absorption, while the dual-layer PP insole balances flexibility, durability, and walking comfort. A removable OrthoLite insole helps manage heat and maintain long-lasting comfort.
