RidersDiscount Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hiking boots for the road, anyone? Alpinestars has you covered with the CR-4 Gore-Tex XCR Boots. These waterproof motorcycle boots are ideal for any rider that likes to ride his bike to distant places and then, hike further off the beaten path. They’re also exceptionally comfortable for work around town and the Gore-Tex waterproof membrane means your feet will stay dry too. Fabricated with a combination of polyurethane-coated leather, suede and textile panels – these look more like hiking boots than riding boots. But, that doesn’t mean protection isn’t built in – two shanks run the length of the sole and extra foam padding has been inserted around the ankles. Plus, a PU-coated leather patch resides just above the toes so shifting won’t wear into them at all. Inside, a breathable mesh liner greets the foot and reinforcements are provided for the toe and heal areas for extra protection. The feet rest atop a comfortable, anatomically-shaped footbed for comfort. As you can see, the spec sheet reads a lot like a high end hiking boot, only better!These riding boots are not yet available on our website, for more information – call Mike at 866.931.6644 x 804 or send a note to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with ALPINESTARS CR4 GORE-TEX XCR BOOTS in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away.Alpinestars CR4 Gore-Tex XCR boots come in three different colors.Surefootedness is the subject of this wrap-around rubber outsole that’s contoured for grip in wet or dry conditions.
