Alpinestars Tech 8 Boots. The Tech 8 simply gets better and better with age. The very latest development and material technology has been applied to the iconic Tech 8 boot to yet further enhance its performance. An innovative, bio-mechanical, calf and shin articulation system has been designed to give improved control and flex while overall, the fit and comfort features have been improved throughout the structure of the boot. Some of the new features of this boot include:
- Full grain leather upper construction with innovative external, calf and shin flex control system features a vertical dual sliding blade mechanism, improving control and enabling progressive resistance to forward and rear extension. - Patented internal soft leather bootie works to provide a more precise fit and long-lasting comfort - Outside protectors are injected with high modulus PU for high levels of impact and abrasion resistance.
- Comprehensive support and security built in to the internal structure of
the boot with additional shock absorbing insert in the heel.
- Extended flex panels in the in-step and Achilles further promote natural
movement, control and comfort.
- New generation dual compound sole for great durability with improved
grip and tactile feel. Large sole insert is easily replaceable without having
to replace the main outsole.
- The Tech 8 is fully CE certified.
- Alpinestars exclusive lasting process gives the Tech 8 a highly precise
and comfortable fit and suits varying foot shapes.
- Enhanced closure system features 4 easy-to-operate aluminum buckles
with memory and a quick release/locking system with self-aligning design
for easy, precise closure. The revised upper buckle alignment improve
fit control while retaining the burst protection
- Enlarged TPU rubber gaiter at the top of the boot (similar to Tech 10 design)
effectively seals out elements.
