The Alpinestars Faster-3 Shoe is a lightweight riding shoe with advanced performance innovations. It features a durable microfiber chassis and Alpinestars Drystar® membrane for excellent waterproofing. Key features include a combination of microfiber, suede, and seamless thermo-welded microfiber for durability and abrasion resistance, air ventilation details with mesh openings for breathability, and a new TPR heel counter design for lateral support and security. It also has reinforced TPU ankle protection, a TPR toe slider for flexibility, and an asymmetrical design to protect the shift area. The shoe uses a traditional lacing system and a lateral hook-and-loop closure with a TPR strap for a secure fit. Midsole double-density ankle protectors offer strategic protection and flexibility. Padding on the tongue and collar enhances comfort and fit around the ankle and instep. Internal toe box and heel counter reinforcements are placed under the upper for a more ergonomic design. The Drystar® membrane provides 100% waterproof performance. It includes a removable, anatomical EVA footbed with a Lycra lining on the upper.
