Alpinestars SMX-6 V2 Drystar Boots: Popular waterproof sports riding motorcycle boots

The SMX-6 V2 boots are aggressively styled so you can actually see some of the internal elements that protect your feet.

Comfortable and protective: Every part of this boot has been carefully constructed with passion: from a bio-mechanical outer bracing system (similar to the top-end sports boots with a double hinge system fixed on the outside) to a sole that disperses water. The foot bed is constructed from EVA with Lycra which is removable and replaceable if necessary, unlikely considering the quality you get from Alpinestars. The sole means that less water stays on the bottom of your boots, great for prolonging their life and to stop those potential slips when riding.

The waterproof version: These boots are the waterproof version of the new SMX-6 V2 range and feature a Drystar membrane. Drystar is a breathable, waterproof membrane that offers very high levels of perspiration exchange, while being 100 percent waterproof. Meaning, your feet stay dry from the rain and stay dry from sweat. Drystar is almost as breathable as some of the top end waterproof membranes.

Knee to toe, these boots have been thought about: The microfibre design on the front, calf and rear accordion bellows gives a more durable feel, while remaining flexible with a great freedom of movement. The ankle protection can be seen when you peel back the Velcro closure system so you know the level of protection you’ll be getting. The footbed is removable and a breathable textile inner lining features anti-sliding microfibre suede reinforcement at the heel.
