Engineered with new performance innovations adapted from decades of R&D in top-level motorsports, the Alpinestars Faster-3 Shoe offers class-leading protection, both internally and externally. Constructed from a lightweight, durable microfiber chassis and a comfort-enhancing interior mesh, this aggressively styled road racing shoe delivers exceptional performance, precision, flexibility, and structural integrity. Key comfort features include tongue and collar padding for a snug fit around the ankle and instep. For a more ergonomic design, the internal toe box and heel counter reinforcement are layered beneath the upper. The 3D mesh lining ensures high breathability, complemented by an anti-slip microsuede heel for a secure fit. The shoe's construction prioritizes airflow with strategically placed vents on the side and toe areas. Enhanced protection comes from a reinforced TPU ankle extending to the lower lateral area, TPR slider details on the lateral toe box for flexibility and impact absorption, and a new TPR heel counter design for improved lateral support and safety. An asymmetrical toe design protects the gear shift area. For a secure and comfortable fit, it features a traditional lacing system and a side-adjustable hook-and-loop closure system with a TPR strap. Mid-density double-density ankle protectors are integrated between the upper and padded lining for strategic protection and flexibility. The shoe includes an interchangeable, anatomically designed EVA footbed with a Lycra lining. Its exceptionally lightweight, custom-engineered rubber sole provides textured grip, superior cushioning, and an integrated support shank for enhanced sole rigidity. The Faster-3 Rideknit Shoe is CE certified to EN 13634:2017 standards.
