The Alpinestars RT-8 Gore-Tex Boots are designed for riders who need reliable waterproof protection, supportive impact coverage, and walking comfort in a versatile motorcycle boot. This black and blue model is sized US 9.5 / EU 44 and features a full Gore-Tex membrane that provides waterproof performance while allowing breathable comfort during changing riding conditions. Manufacturer part number 2335422-17-44 and vendor part number 2335422-17-44 identify this specific configuration.
Built with a technical modern upper, the RT-8 combines microfiber and high-resistance synthetic textile with seamless polyurethane lamination for enhanced breathability and durability. Alpinestars Integrated Transversal Protection Frame (TPF) supports the foot on the footrest and helps protect against impacts while preserving front-foot flexion for comfortable walking. Reinforced heel and toe areas add protection, while the additional shift pad layer helps resist wear from repeated gear changes. A reinforced shin area provides added coverage in a key impact zone.
Fitment is refined through an innovative instep fast-lace adjuster that controls instep volume for secure retention and a precise fit. The boot opening uses a lateral zipper on an elasticated panel, protected by a hook-and-loop gusseted flap that helps shield the closure while maintaining natural boot flexion. An internal volume adjustment system and redesigned sole unit further improve fit, protection, and walking comfort. The Alpinestars RT-8 is a practical choice for street and touring riders seeking a breathable, waterproof motorcycle boot with protective construction and everyday usability.
