Alpinestars Tech 7 Boots Blue

The Alpinestars Tech 7 is a full-height off-road boot built for motocross, enduro and trail riding, and the MY25 update carries over the ground-up redesign that made this generation lighter, more anatomically shaped and more protective than the boots it replaced.

It suits riders who want serious impact and abrasion protection without losing feel through the pegs and controls. A double pivot system at the medial and lateral ankle supports natural flex and core stability, while the redesigned TPU lower shell and shift zone are shaped specifically for the left and right foot to improve control and reduce front roll.

Finished in a blue colourway, the Tech 7 is CE certified to EN 13634:2017 and runs a replaceable dual-compound vulcanised sole, so the boot can be refreshed rather than retired once the tread wears through.

• CE certified to EN 13634:2017
• Medial and lateral double pivot system for controlled flex and precise feel
• Low-profile ankle pivot supports the main flexion of the boot for freedom of movement
• TPU lower shell with left- and right-foot specific shift zone to reduce front roll
• Metal shank through the shift area with reinforced toe zone for impact and abrasion resistance
• Shock-absorbing inserts in the front bellows zone for progressive support
• Shock-absorbing padding at the ankles and shin plate
• Extensive TPU protection across toes, foot, heel, ankle, calf and shin, with extra-hard compounds on the toe box and heel
• Additional TPU rear bridge protecting the Achilles tendon
• Contoured TPU calf protector plate for impact resistance
• Updated compact TPU shin plate with reinforced hook-and-loop closure for a wider fit range
• Upper in suede leather with lightweight microfibre construction
• Extended TPU medial panel with enlarged rubber insert for grip on the bike and heat resistance
• Polymer buckles on an aluminium frame with self-aligning, quick-release closures
• Self-aligning buckle receiver prevents strap rotation
• Soft microfibre gaiter shaped for the rear of the boot to seal out water and dirt
• Poly-fabric lining with 3D open-cell foam and anti-slide suede heel reinforcement
• One-piece dual-compound vulcanised rubber sole, replaceable
• Sole wear limit indicator in the foot peg area exposes a red layer when replacement is due
• Kevlar layer beneath the wear indicator maintains boot structure and integrity
• Redesigned strap holders for functionality with reduced excessive rotation
• Pull flap designed for easier grip when pulling the boot on

• Pair of boots

Allow a short break-in period of easy riding so the bellows, pivots and shin plate settle before hard use.
Adjust the hook-and-loop shin plate closure and set each buckle strap to the correct notch so the boot is firm without pinching; check the self-aligning receivers are seated before every ride.
Check buckles, straps and receivers regularly for damage or wear and replace worn parts rather than riding with a compromised closure.
Inspect the sole wear limit indicator in the foot peg area — once the red layer shows through, the sole has reached its wear limit and should be replaced.
The one-piece sole is replaceable, so have worn soles fitted by Alpinestars or an authorised service centre rather than replacing the whole boot.
After riding, knock off mud and grit, then clean the suede and microfibre upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid solvents, petrol, brake cleaner and harsh detergents.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Dry wet boots naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight, heaters and exhausts, as heat can distort the TPU and shrink the leather; loosen the buckles and open the gaiter to help them air out.
Keep the gaiter and rear bellows clear of packed dirt so they continue to seal and flex properly.
Store upright in a cool, dry place with the buckles fastened loosely to help the boots hold their shape.
Replace boots that have taken a heavy impact or show cracked TPU, as the protective structure may no longer perform as certified.
