Review on Alpinestars Corozal Adventure Drystar Motorcycle by David Mcdonald

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Street comfort and backcountry beast!

Great boots for less than $300! Fits perfectly. I have a very flat and narrow foot which is sometimes difficult to see. The Corozal has a bow, but it's not intrusive. The inner padding is very comfortable and with the help of the buckles I was able to adjust the movement of my ankle while riding and standing on the pegs. The boots make noise when walking, but I don't wear them to go into town at night. The toe of the boot is a bit large on the outside, and some complain that it doesn't fit under the shifter. At first I found this to be a problem but after 4 or 5 hours of riding the pegs I found that I was only using the side of my boot to push the shifter, even on the road now I can't get my toe all the way up fit. Unless I'm in the mood for neutrality. On the first day of skiing, I picked up several large limbs on my shin that were lying on the trail. I never felt uncomfortable, the padding and armor are great. I also took some big rolling rocks on the toe and heel that would have broken my ankles in other "adventure" boots but not in these, I just walked through! I haven't tested the waterproofing but the construction is better than any boot. I've seen less than $499. I first ordered the Forma Adventures and was very disappointed with the construction and fit. The outsole was too flexible for anything more than casual running over loose gravel on a paved road. In my opinion, Alpinestars introduced the Corozal for real adventure. Comfortable enough to ride on-road, beastly enough to ride off-road.
