These boots are great for off-road riding, keeping my feet dry and comfortable through mud and streams while providing cushioning that holds up all day. I had some shipping delays but their customer service resolved it quickly, and overall these have become my go-to adventure riding boots with their weather protection, comfort and durability. For the serious dual-sport rider I’d highly recommend checking out the XT-8s.

These XT-8 Gore-Tex boots left me unimpressed the waterproof Gore-Tex and aggressive lug pattern seem good for off-roading but the boots failed on comfort and protection during my testing the comfort felt overstated and the impact protection didn’t instill confidence the boots arrived fast thanks to secure packaging but considering the price I’d hope for better performance and durability unless you ride in rain a lot you can probably find more comfortable protective boots for less

These Alpinestars XT-8 Gore-Tex boots are really good, they keep my feet dry and comfy on long rides but they’re a bit pricey.

These XT-8 Gore-Tex boots are awesome! I’ve been wearing them in all kinds of nasty weather and they keep my feet dry and comfy while hiking all day. They have great traction and ankle support too.

These XT-8 Gore-Tex boots from Alpinestars mostly live up to the hype, keeping my feet dry and comfy for long rides and hikes, though the soles don’t provide as much traction as I expected and the velcro closures are already failing after a few weeks of use.
