Alpinestars Tech 10 Boots $579.95
The Tech 10 boots are Alpinestars' high-end off-road/MX boots for pro-level riders and racers.
They have a low-profile design for maximum control and minimal weight at the lower sections of the boots, while the upper design has been developed for controlled flexibility, streamlined profile and superior grip against the bike. Lightweight upper combines full-grain leather with impact- and abrasion-resistant PU shell, and PU is also used in the toes, foot, heel, ankle, calf and shin regions. Extra-hard compounds are embedded on the toe-box, heel and Achilles tendon, and a PU spine protects the heel, controls flex and features a hyperextension guard.
Inside, biomechanical inner braces support the ankle, and torsion bars control ankle and leg rotation, while still allowing freedom of movement. A replaceable softer-compound inner torsion bar is included: This allows the rider to customize the internal ankle brace by adapting the degree of ankle control to further minimize the stress put on the knee.
