If you are looking for a nice, basic pair of boots, the Alpinestars Web Gore-Tex boots are worth a look. I wore the Web boots on a recent ride in the Baja of Mexico and came away mostly impressed.
The Alpinestars Web boots have a traditional full-length zipper and Velcro closure that makes for easy entry. I found the boots to have a comfortable fit with good cushioning from a micro-fiber insole. I was actually happier with the boots off the bike than I was with them while riding. They are an ultra-comfortable walk-around pair of boots. My only complaint with the boots’ on-bike function has to do with the tall toe box. I found movement over and under the shifter to be kind of a clumsy affair because of this dimension.
Protection comes in the form of injection molded plastic in the shin and ankle areas. The heel and toe areas have internal counter support. Protection from the elements is ensured by the Gore-Tex internal lining. The boots breathed well in my experience.Overall, the Web boot is solid, comfortable and functional. The boots fit me true to size. However, I found them to fit on the wide side. So take this into consideration when ordering. The boots are offered in European sizing 36-50 and come only in black.
