The recently upgraded Tech 8 boot from Alpinestars reaches to the top of the class for motocross boots. Starting on the bottom, a traditional sole is used to make contact with the pegs and controls. The biggest improvements come in the closure buckles. All four are the new aluminum version with memory that holds so the rider does not have to readjust every time the boots are taken off. For added fitment, the removable perforated leather bootie not only adds a snug fit, but it also provides gel ankle protectors in case of a side impact. The PU exterior has been redesigned to give some extra comfort and control in the achilles area while adding protection up top to protect the shins. Get the feel and comfort needed to clear those doubles while having all the ankle protection with the Teach 8 from Alpinestars.
