This versatility means that my Alpinestars J6 shoes have become my go-to option for a wide range of weather conditions, from rainy spring days to cooler autumn evenings. Quality of materials The insole has provided the necessary support to keep my feet feeling fresh, even after hours in the saddle. And this also translates into great comfort when walking long distances with my Alpinestars J6 shoes. Waterproofness Mediocre gripping oomph on wet pavement once the outsoles start to wear out as is common with all motorcycle sneakers. br/>•Internal toe box and heel counter reinforcement is layered under the upper for more ergonomic design.Underneath the foot, and above the sole of the shoe, there is another protector, these all contributing to the CE level 2 rating of the boot in the CE EN 13634 category that defines protection against abrasion, energy absorption of an impact etc. I’ve been generally very impressed with how well the Alpinestars J6 boots have worn. The sole’s got bags of life in it, despite getting a little smooth at the balls of the feet, and there is some discolouring, but I love wearing them. As I use them every day – through puddles, sand, mud and more– I’m not surprised they don’t look sparkling new, but they’re going to be getting a lot more use yet. Note: Customers have found these shoes to run slightly small and narrow. Not recommended for riders with wide feet. For many of us, this devil-may-care attitude won’t fly, either in our minds or in the minds of our bosses but there is a solution out there – urban motorbike shoes. These are designed to look like regular shoes or trainers but have enough protection built in to protect you around town. In many ways, they’re like Kevlar jeans, but for your feet, containing a similar set of compromises.

Other than that, the Alpinestars J6 shoes offer good impact protection and abrasion protection as affordable, high-top motorcycle sneakers. Fitment Padding on tongue and heel area provides high levels of comfort and fit around the ankle and instep. Alpinestars take their name from the Italian mountain flower Stella Alpina, known to grow in the mountains around Sante Mazzarolo’s home town of Asolo, in northern Italy. Stella Alpina, means, well, “Alpine Star” in English. They have carried their origins with them proudly as they have grown and developed into a unique company dedicated to really high quality motorcycle clothing. In today’s review, I’m bring you my long-term testing and ownership experience with my three pairs of Alpinestars J6 shoes (also known as Alpinestars J-6 waterproof shoes or Alpinestars J-6 WP shoes).

Finally, the internal toe box and heel counter reinforcement are layered under the upper for more ergonomic design. The Alpinestars J6 shoes are all-day comfortable both on your motorcycle and off your motorcycle. I practically walk everywhere with my Alpinestars J6 shoes when I wear them to ride downtown. The Alpinestars J6 shoes are design as high-top sneakers and they truly look like regular fashion sneakers.

It’s a shame the impact cut resistance doesn’t meet the higher level, or these would have been eligible for Gold in the Bennetts High Performance Award, but while a shorter boot like this might not offer the same protection as a good-quality full-height model, it’s still great to know that something this great looking for everyday use can offer good levels of safety if the worst were to happen on the bike.

Alpinestars J-6 Schuh

The Alpinestars J6 shoes are fully waterproof, which has been a game-changer for me during rainy rides. Another thing to bear in mind, is that a helmet in say size Medium from one Manufacturer may fit completely differently to a Medium from another Manufacturer. Therefore we would always recommend travelling to a dealer to try a number of different brands to get the perfect fit for your head shape. Top tongue and collar constructed from leather for enhanced comfort, durability and luxurious feel.
