Along with TCX’s motorcycle sneakers, we reviewers at Motorcycle Gear Hub are actually quite fond of the aesthetic color choices in all of Alpinestars’ high-top motorcycle sneakers (and Forma’s too if I were to add a third brand). Off Road Off Road Motocross boots are designed specifically for off-road, motocross or all-terrain vehicle riding. Unfortunately, the much-newer Alpinestars Chrome Drystar shoes are more expensive than the Alpinestars J6 shoes, so the Alpinestars J6 shoes remain a solid pair of affordable, waterproof motorcycle shoes with enough protection for street riding. Gore-Tex Gore-Tex Gore-Tex is a waterproof/breathable fabric that resists water droplets from passing through while at the same time allowing moisture from the inside to evaporate. The Alpinestars J-6 Waterproof shoe (Cat 2 CE certified to 89/686.ECC EU Directive) boasts a lightweight, street-styled upper combining full grain leather and suede for optimised comfort, durability and look. Waterproofing is afforded by a waterproof membrane subtly built into the chassis for 100 per cent performance against wet penetration. The top tongue and collar are constructed from leather for enhanced comfort, durability and luxurious feel. Metal eyelet lacing closure on instep for an easy, secure and comfortable fit. For all-around strategic protection and flexibility in key areas, dual density ergonomic MX-derived ankle and heel protectors are applied between the upper and padded lining while padding on tongue and heel area provides high levels of comfort and fit around the ankle and instep. Moulded to the upper is an advanced rubber compound cupsole is for stability, grip, support and durability. A reinforced midsole is inserted between the upper and the sole for structural strength and durability. The removable and replaceable and anatomically profiled EVA and Lycra footbed is for added comfort and support.

Even the newer Alpinestars Chrome Drystar shoes do not implement light-reflective details despite these waterproof motorcycle shoes being also meant for raining conditions. The Alpinestars J6 shoes are fully waterproof, which has been a game-changer for me during rainy rides. Dual density and ergonomic MX derived ankle and heel protector is applied between the upper and padded lining to provide all-round strategic protection and flexibility in key area. Metal logo detailing logos and patterning give the boot a contemporary styling feel. Finally, the internal toe box and heel counter reinforcement are layered under the upper for a more ergonomic design. Constructed with high-quality materials, the Alpinestars J6 shoes are built to withstand regular use and offer long-term durability.br/>
Construction:
•Waterproof membrane subtly built into chassis for 100 per cent performance against wet penetration. Advanced rubber compound cup sole is molded to the upper to offer stability, grip, support and durability. Mediocre gripping oomph on wet pavement once the outsoles start to wear out as is common with all motorcycle sneakers. Compared to some other waterproof motorcycle shoes, one thing that I found very positive in my Alpinestars J6 shoes was how comfortable they fitted right out of the box. The waterproof membrane acts as an effective barrier (i.e. windbreaker) against chilly winds, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the shoe.

This is a relatively-common CE certification in premium motorcycle shoes whereby comfort is given more priority than full-on protection as is otherwise the case in premium motorcycle boots. The editorial rating awarded to the Alpinestars J6 motorcycle shoes is based upon the product’s expected use (and abuse) as well as the product’s total features when compared to its direct competitors: The flat sole has the Alpinestars logo molded into the soft rubber, the tongue of the boot is padded to protect the front of the foot in an impact and has a small brass tag, about an inch across on the top with the name of the brand. On the side of the shoe, the Italian company’s logo is again present, it being embossed into the leather. It’s all quite subtle but very stylish and gives an inkling as to the quality contained within. Whether you’re heading to work or embarking on a weekend ride, the Alpinestars J6 shoes offer dependable performance with extra comfort at an affordable price point.

What’s even more remarkable is how the leather is of high quality and highly resilient to getting wet frequently.

I wear them as casual shoes in the office after riding in through the daily traffic. They fit in with the “smart casual” business attire that many offices abide by these days and in most of the weather, they don’t cause my feet to feel like they’re being boiled in their own sweat. The Alpinestars J6 shoes are offered in five different color combinations that are very aesthetic; the women’s Alpinestars J6 shoes are offered in two color combinations that too are quite aesthetic as motorcycling fashion sneakers. Overall, the versatility and real-world practicality of the Alpinestars J6 shoes is fantastic for any street biker or urban rider wanting to look good both on and off his/her motorcycle while at the same time wearing protective motorcycle shoes that will perform very well in urban-riding environments.

Their stylish full grain leather and suede design is comfortable, comparatively lightweight and gives off street style vibes.
