Ergonomically engineered for an optimized women's specific fit, these shoes blend a premium street aesthetic with advanced protective performance. Designed for everyday use both on and off the bike, they feature an advanced urban sole for immediate comfort and a hand-applied worn effect for an authentic racing heritage patina.
The construction utilizes a high-quality leather upper for superior abrasion resistance and light weight, complemented by leather Nubuck ankle and heel sections for enhanced flexibility. The compact profile includes a nine-hole high top with a classic lateral lace system and a lateral zip closure, providing a secure fit and ease of use. For added tactile control, the lace tips are finished in color-contrasting rubber for enhanced grip.
Protection is integrated throughout the design, featuring the Alpinestars Transversal Protection Frame (TPF). This system protects the foot while delivering necessary support on the footrest without compromising front foot flexion for walking comfort. Technical safety specifications include:
- Double density TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) ankle protectors applied between the upper and padded lining.
- Ankle discs on both medial and external sides for effective, discreet all-around protection.
- TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) toe reinforcements for enhanced structural stability and abrasion resistance.
- Internal toe box and heel counter reinforcement layered under the upper for an ergonomic design.
- Reinforced shifting area for long-term durability.
For all-day comfort, the interior features a removable OrthoLite® insock with an Open Cell PU compound that provides long-lasting cushioning and prevents overheating. A lightweight PU midsole with an integrated heel disc offers excellent shock absorption, while a dual-layer PP insole ensures the optimum blend of flexibility and walking support.
The foundation of the shoe is a lightweight, oil-resistant vulcanized rubber compound urban sole. Its textured grip provides optimized contact on the bike's footpegs and reliable traction on city streets.
