The Alpinestars RT-8 Gore-Tex Boots are technical motorcycle riding boots designed for riders who want dependable waterproof protection, supportive foot coverage, and comfortable walking performance. This black and blue model is sized US 11.5 / EU 46 and features a full Gore-Tex membrane that helps keep water out while allowing moisture vapor to escape for breathable all-weather comfort. Manufacturer part number 2335422-17-46 and vendor part number 2335422-17-46 identify this specific configuration.
The technical upper combines microfiber with high-resistance synthetic textile, laminated with seamless polyurethane for enhanced breathability and durability. Alpinestars’ integrated Transversal Protection Frame, or TPF, supports and protects the foot on the footrest while preserving front-foot flexion for more comfortable walking. Reinforced heel and toe areas, an additional shift-pad layer, and a reinforced shin area help provide protection in key impact and abrasion zones.
An innovative instep fast-lace adjuster allows precise control of the boot’s instep volume for a secure, personalized fit. The boot opening uses a lateral zipper mounted on an elasticated panel, with a hook-and-loop gusseted flap that helps shield the zipper while maintaining comfortable flexion. The redesigned sole unit balances protection with walking comfort, while the internal volume adjustment system and optimized upper construction support a consistent fit throughout the ride.
