Alpinestars Ridge Boots

[Seamus07]

I picked up a set of Alpinestars Ridge 9 boots last weekend. I chose these because they're unassuming (I don't need to look like a road racer), easy on-and-off, and they're waterproof. I've been pleasantly surprised at the improvement they've made in my riding comfort. The sole grips very well, so I can put my foot anywhere on the peg and it'll stay there. I don't worry so much about the road surface at stops, either. I can walk comfortably in them...they feel a little like moon boots. I'll need to put a more substantial insole in them, though. The one included doesn't do much. The velcro closures makes them very adjustable, and the lack of lacing prevents catching a loop on a shifter, brake, or peg and dropping the bike at an intersection. Oh, and these things didn't really cost much, comparatively. I've got $120 in them. Overall, no complaints.
