I have always found that Alpinestars boots fit my foot well. Because of this, I find myself feeling comfortable ordering the Italian company's boots online with little trepidation. The Alpinestars Web Gore-Tex Boots are a bit of a different fit, however.
The boots are what I look for in motorcycle footwear. They are well-made, comfortable, waterproof, and breathable (thanks to Gore-Tex). They are also adequately protective for the average street rider. That protection comes in the form of well-placed injection-molded plastic in critical areas. That plastic is internal rather than external, so the boot has a styling that is less "comic book hero" than most race boots.
Other styling cues are similarly subtle. The Alpinestars logos are present (as they should be) but are not overstated. Toe shift durability is aided by injected plastic. Comfort is enhanced by a soft micro-fiber instep flex zone and a removable anatomic perforated foot bed. The boots are easy to get on and off thanks to a generous zippered and Velcroed side entry.
In all, these are great boots. However, if (like me) you are accustomed to a "typical" Alpinestars fit, you may find yourself swimming in this model. The Web boot has a very generous girth. For me, this boot fits very wide. Take this into consideration when ordering.
