ALPINESTARS (ROAD) Stella Faster-4 Shoes — Black

Engineered specifically for women riders, the Stella Faster-4 Shoes utilize seamless knitted construction to create a riding shoe that is extremely lightweight and breathable. With class-leading protective features inside and out, the main upper material is constructed from an advanced microfiber that incorporates seamless, thermo welded panels to create an innovative, lightweight, and technical road riding shoe, offering performance, flexibility, and structural integrity. The 3D mesh lining provides high levels of breathability and is lightweight, complemented by anti-sliding microsuede on the heel.

Additionally, the back flexion point constructed from soft microfiber improves both back flexion and protection, enhancing structure and comfort. The medial quarter features a dedicated seamless design combined with a soft Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) area for added structure and comfort. The rear collar construction is made of soft textile for enhanced comfort and improved back flexion.

Featuring unique Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) on the lateral calf and slider details combined with the toe-box, these shoes offer more support, protection, and flexion. The traditional lace closure system ensures an easy, secure, and comfortable fit, while the ergonomic TPR strap with a lateral adjustable hook and loop closure system allows for easier prehensility.

The enhanced TPU ankle extends in the lower lateral area, increasing support and protection. The TPR heel counter design ensures additional lateral support and security, while the asymmetric toe design offers protection in the shift area. Tongue and collar padding provides high levels of comfort and an excellent fit around the ankle and instep.

The sole design compound in rubber provides textured grip, excellent absorption, and features an integrated shank for enhanced sole support, with extra durability at the heel. The heel damping midsole and replaceable anatomical EVA footbed with Lycra lining on top further enhance comfort. Medial dual density ankle protectors are applied between the upper and padded lining to provide strategic protection and flexibility in key areas, while the internal toe box and heel counter reinforcement layered under the upper ensures a more ergonomic design.
