Product Details
The Alpinestars CR-X Drystar Waterproof Motorcycle Shoes in Black Camo / Red combine CE-certified riding protection with the flexible feel of a running-inspired shoe. They are designed for road, urban and touring riders who want dependable wet-weather performance and genuine walking comfort away from the bike.
Key features
- Drystar® waterproof and breathable membrane with a 5,000 mm water-resistance rating and 5,000 g/m² breathability.
- Running-shoe last with a snug fit and useful internal volume for all-day comfort.
- 9 mm heel-to-toe drop for a smooth transition while walking.
- EVA midsole and removable OrthoLite® open-cell PU insole for cushioning and heat management.
- Forefoot flex grooves help the shoe bend naturally when walking.
- Lightweight inner bootie and bellows tongue help maintain a precise, secure fit.
- Asymmetric outsole studs and an oil-resistant dual-rubber compound provide grip on dirty or slippery surfaces.
- Black Camo / Red colourway with style and colour code 2611820-993.
Protection and construction
- Certified to EN 13634:2017 for protective motorcycle footwear.
- Full-length TPU inner sole plate supports the foot on the motorcycle while allowing a natural heel-to-toe walking motion.
- Alpinestars Transversal Protection Frame, or TPF, adds support around the footrest without restricting forefoot flex.
- Hidden asymmetric TPU discs protect the lateral and medial ankle areas.
- Abrasion-resistant TPU reinforcement protects the gear-shift area.
- An internal EVA layer beneath the shift zone helps reduce pressure on the top of the foot.
- Lace fastening with an upper retention strap, as shown on the manufacturer product.
Waterproofing and intended use
The fixed Drystar® membrane is designed to keep rain out while allowing moisture vapour to escape. These are waterproof short motorcycle shoes for everyday road use, commuting and touring, rather than tall adventure or racing boots. Their flexible sole and cushioned midsole make them particularly useful when a ride also involves time on foot.
