Alpinestars Tech 2 Boots - brilliant
I'm just posting this because every now and then you come across a little golden nugget and want to tell everyone about them
Basically the Alpinestars Tech 2 boots are Motocross boots that stop just above the ankle and are as comfortable for me as slippers are. Just genius man, I wish I had found these boots earlier. I have just picked up a pair and am really happy with them. For the Paris Dakar, you might want something a bit meatier as they won't offer enough protection to the shin, but with a pair of knee pads I can't imagine a better pair of boots for a long distance trip. Comfy on and off the bike, offering more protection than ordinary casual boots, to me they are a great find. If you are wearing Draggin jeans or similar, you will almost look like a normal human being when not on the bike, and you can walk round without looking or feeling like you have taken a bullet in the hip.
I should post a picture but if you google image Alpinestars Tech 2, you will see what a great idea they are
My dad isn't Mr Alpinestar by the way, I'm a sports snapper who just thinks these boots are a great compromise (as most things often are on the big trip)
