Alpinestars Men's 265401810-10.5 Shoe (Black, Size 10.5) Review:


You could be wondering what I was if you're reading this. Do they only have tennis shoes? Do these provide greater defense than my Adidas? The response is, sort of. This sneaker is a give-and-take. Your feet receive no protection from the upper (the portion that covers the top of your foot). In essence, it is a tennis shoe. The cloth is thin. The heel is the one exception to this rule. It is rigid and hard. The shoe's sole is considerably stiffer than that of a regular tennis shoe, though. It is rigid, though not nearly as stiff as a motorcycle boot. Without experiencing any discomfort from the shoe bending around the peg or digging into your foot, you may stand up on your pegs. It's still easy to walk in despite the hard sole. Even though running shoes are definitely more comfy, it's still quite comfortable. Would I repurchase these? Probably, yes. Will I accompany them on the trip? Yes, once again, since I want a shoe that I can wear for walking and riding. If you're a hardcore, all-the-gears-all-the-time kind of person, you definitely wouldn't ride in these, but it's difficult to be that kind of person if you (1) live in Texas's oppressive heat and (2) bike frequently.
