I was looking for a waterproof motorcycling boot that will also look good when I am off the bike – either socialising or in meetings at work.
The Alpinestars J-6 Waterproof Shoe is a lightweight, waterproof leather and suede stylish urban shoe and did the job perfectly for me – So perfectly I bought both colours! Check out the pics below
About the Alpinestars J-6 Waterproof Motorcycling Shoe
The Alpinestars J-6 Waterproof shoe (Cat 2 CE certified to 89/686.ECC EU Directive) boasts a lightweight, street styled upper combining full grain leather and suede for optimised comfort, durability and look. Waterproofing is afforded by a waterproof membrane subtly built into the chassis for 100 per cent performance against wet penetration.
The top tongue and collar are constructed from leather for enhanced comfort, durability and luxurious feel. Metal eyelet lacing closure on instep for an easy, secure and comfortable fit. For all round strategic protection and flexibility in key areas, dual density ergonomic MX-derived ankle and heel protectors are applied between the upper and padded lining while padding on tongue and heel area provides high levels of comfort and fit around the ankle and instep.
Moulded to the upper is an advanced rubber compound cupsole is for stability, grip, support and durability. A reinforced midsole is inserted between the upper and the sole for structural strength and durability. The removable and replaceable and anatomically profiled EVA and Lycra footbed is for added comfort and support.
Metal logo detailing logos and patterning give the boot a contemporary styling feel. Finally, the internal toe box and heel counter reinforcement is layered under the upper for more ergonomic design.
