nklr - alpinestars m4 boot

Post by Tumu Rock » Wed Aug 16, 2000 4:32 am

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.

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! Karl
