nklr - alpinestars m4 boot
Anybody have experience with these? They claim to be good for dualsport and
come with the option of motocross or high-grip all-terrain sole. $170 beats
the Sidi Discovery too. Comments welcome.

nklr - alpinestars m4 boot
Funny you should mention them becuase I just picked up a pair last week.
I've only used them once so far so they are not broken in yet, but here are
my findings. Good and stiff. Appear that they would give good protection
off road. Not overly comfy to walk in, but you can get around with them on.
Easy to do up and off once you get used to it (fasten the velcro at the
top edge first, then the buckles). At first shifting was awkward since I've
never had a stiff boot before. Upshifts are fine now but to downshift I'm
downshift I'm dropping my foot on the shifter. Upshifting, the boot has no
'feel' since it's so stiff. I have no idea I made the shift until I let out
the clutch out, I cannot feel that the boot in lifting up on the shifter.
Something that'll just take some adjustment to, and not the fault of the
boot. No idea which sole I have. They did come with that one accessory
that no one can do without, and that is a couple of Alpinestar stickers!!!
Woohoo! No KLR is complete without stickers.
Hope it helped!

Man I wish. My stable is at three bikes; ZRX1100, KLR650, W650. I had a KLR600 about 10 years ago and I sold my DR350 do to lack of riding and bought the W650.
