Adventure touring boots have to be good at a lot of things. They have to perform protective and functional duties for a multitude of environments. The Alpinestars Scout WP Boots are remarkably up to the task.
The boots' body is constructed of coated leather with a waterproof and breathable inner membrane. A lot of research has gone into mating protection with comfort. There is a unique multiple density construction that allows movement without sacrificing protection. The boot has earned CE certification for its protective properties.
Boot closure comes in the form of Velcro as well as three substantial buckles. The result is an extremely adjustable boot fit. In keeping with its ability to handle some dirt duty, the boot has a lugged sole. Inside that sole is a removable PE padded foot bed.
Long-term user reports are almost universally positive on the Scout WP boots. They are stiff out of the box but break in well. Some riders have reported that the toe box is a bit restrictive, so consider that when you are ordering.
The only real negative that I can find with this boot is that the toe profile is a bit tall. I have found this with some other tour-oriented Alpinestars in the past. This means that fit under the shift lever can be a bit tight. Overall, the Scout WP boots are a good all-around option for the dual sport and adventure touring crowd.
