ALPINESTARS SP-X BOA BOOTS

A less conventional style for these smart Alpinestars sports boots, which are designed to both fit underneath riding trousers and also be comfy for walking in. They've got a compact, mid-height construction so sit between a full-size race boot and a short urban boot, giving good protection with an easier fit. There's a BOA speed-fastening system and zip closure, plus knitted panels and an inner Ortholite sock for extra comfort on and off the bike. Protection is extensive: a TPF transverse protection frame in the sole; shin guard plate; and TPU armour on heel and ankle. A grippy rubber sole, toe sliders and shift pads round off the high spec.

Hi Fast Bikes, My second-hand bike suit was getting a bit tatty, with the leather looking dirty and worn. Tried cleaning it and treating it with leather polish, but it didn't look any better. Found out you can use leather paint to restore the looks.
