More trainer-style biking boots have been revealed by Italian manufacturer Alpinestars. The new CE-approved Stated Drystar boots have split suede uppers with a Drystar membrane underneath to act as a waterproof barrier. Protection from impacts comes from dual-density armour at the ankles and an Alpinestars Transversal Protection Frame which improves torsional stiffness. The sole is made of vulcanised rubber, with OrthoLite providing a cushioned insole. A classic lace closure allows adjustment, with a side-mounted zip making them easier to put on/take off. The Stated comes in all-black or green/black with a natural gum sole, in sizes EU41-47, for an SRP of £179.99.
