Alpinestars Chrome Riding Shoes | Style, Comfort & CE Protection

Get the casual street style of the Alpinestars Chrome Riding Shoes in US Size 13, without compromising on protection. Featuring ankle armor, OrthoLite comfort, and a durable suede upper for urban riders. CE Certified.

The Alpinestars Chrome Riding Shoes in US  perfectly blend contemporary street-style aesthetics with robust motorcycle-specific protective features. Designed for the urban rider, these shoes offer a modern silhouette that looks great both on and off the bike. The upper is typically constructed from durable split suede (or a combination of split suede and mesh for the 'Air' version) ensuring long-lasting wear and a premium feel. Safety is paramount, achieved through integrated protective elements including dual-density ankle protectors and reinforcements in the heel and toe. The advanced sole construction incorporates the Alpinestars Transversal Protection Frame (TPF), a lightweight but rigid PA material, which provides a high level of transverse protection without sacrificing walking comfort. Comfort is maximized with a high-quality, durable OrthoLite® insock, which provides exceptional breathability and cushioning for all-day wear. An intuitive quick-action elasticated closure system offers an optimized, secure fit and makes for fast, easy entry and exit. The advanced rubber compound cup sole with a PU midsole ensures an optimal blend of grip, durability, and comfort, making the Chrome Shoes an excellent choice for daily commuting and casual riding.
