Review on 🏍️ Alpinestars Men's Andes v2 DRYSTAR Motorcycle Boots, Black, 44: Superior Protection and Style for Riders by Matthew Miles

They'll keep you warm in the heat but I've worn them all day this summer in Denver and Kalispell and rode the Oregon and California coasts last week. I broke them driving the streets of Denver and then hiked to Werner Peak in northwest Montana to pick blueberries with my family. The hike was unexpected. I planned on just riding while my parents and kids pick berries, but I felt safer in a group and kept an eye out for bears and the like. Surprisingly, they walked up and down the mountain through loose mud and bushes without complaint. It was dry, hot, and the trail was unused at times, but I never slipped. Back on the bike I was able to visit the summit on the main dirt road and these boots kicked off some big rocks and went through several corners with no issues. Same goes for some other dirt roads, ruts, and some other rock and gravel roads I've been looking for. They feel great on the city streets. Grocery shopping, bookstore visits and other errands are convenient. My wife hasn't commented on them, or at least she doesn't have to comment on my styling choices (which I consider 'good') and my few friends I've seen lately who know about bikes have praised . Horseback riding along the Oregon and California coasts. I wore them all day, riding back and forth on dirt and road trails (no single tracks or anything more complicated). These are boots for road riding on WR or BMW R1100RT. I wear Merino wool socks and luckily they match well. The boots look a bit flat at the top - they don't hold the shape of a boot like leather work boots - making them more of a casual boot (needs wide leg trousers). ankle circumference). Anyway, I would like the sole to be more like hiking boots for hiking, so I'll keep researching. Size EUR 42 = USD 8.5. Great boots. Velcro wakes a sleeping spouse or child. Traction is surprisingly good in dry conditions. The boot is comfortable, wears all day once broken in, feels secure and handles the levers comfortably.
