In 1963, a leather craftsman by the name of Sante Mazzarolo brought forth a future icon. Based in the small Northern Italy town of Asolo and with the perennial Alpine star flower as its namesake, Mr. Mazzarolo began producing the first products bearing the Alpinestars moniker. At that time, a new sport called motocross was establishing itself and becoming quite popular across Europe. Very much aware of the sport, Sante realized an opportunity to apply his talents and technical acumen to design a new type of footwear that would meet the protective needs and demands of this beautiful yet brutal form of athleticism. The boot that Mr. Mazzarolo produced would become an archetype for motocross protection.

Alpinestars, since its inception in 1963, is now the manufacturer of professional racing products, motorcycling airbag protection, high-performance apparel and technical footwear. Alpinestars understands that the best design and research is achieved under extreme conditions.

As for the product details, the fabric type is Other. The sole material is Ethylene Vinyl Acetate and Rubber. The outer material is Rubber, and the closure type is Buckle.

The new TPU ankle protection system incorporates a biomechanical link between the middle and bottom sections of the boot, helping prevent damage to the leg by providing progressive force relief for torsional forces. The redesigned instep and Achilles accordion flex zones construction offers superior comfort, control, and support.

The product features an innovative one-piece injected dual compound foot shell with co-injected hard toe protector and integrated steel shank. The extended microfiber gaiter helps prevent excessive water and dirt entry. The new, dual compound, removable anatomic footbed includes EVA and Lycra top for comfort and support, ensuring even weight distribution and reinforced heel.

In summary, Alpinestars has been a leading manufacturer of professional racing products, motorcycling airbag protection, high-performance apparel, and technical footwear since its inception in 1963. The company's commitment to design and research under extreme conditions has resulted in the development of cutting-edge products that meet the demands of various sports and activities.
