ALPINESTARS (ROAD) Faster-4 Shoes — Black

Experience the ultimate in riding footwear with the Faster-4 Shoes. Featuring a seamless knitted construction, these shoes are extremely lightweight and breathable, ensuring comfort on long rides. The main upper material is crafted from advanced microfiber, incorporating seamless, thermo welded panels to create an innovative, technical road riding shoe that offers performance, flexibility, and structural integrity.

The 3D mesh lining enhances breathability while the anti-sliding microsuede on the heel provides added security. The additional back flexion point, made from soft microfiber, improves both back flexion and protection while enhancing riding comfort.

Designed with a medial quarter that combines seamless construction with a soft Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) area, the shoes provide added structure and comfort. The rear collar is made from soft textile for enhanced comfort and improved back flexion.

Support and protection are further enhanced by the unique Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) details on the lateral calf and slider, along with the toe-box for increased flexion. The traditional lace closure system ensures an easy, secure, and comfortable fit, complemented by an ergonomic TPR strap with a lateral adjustable hook and loop closure for better prehensility.

Additional features include an extended TPU ankle for increased support, TPR slider details on the lateral toe box for enhanced flex and protection, and a TPR heel counter design that ensures lateral support and security. The asymmetric toe design provides protection in the shift area, while tongue and collar padding guarantees comfort and an excellent fit around the ankle and instep.

The sole is crafted from a rubber compound that offers textured grip, excellent absorption, and features an integrated shank for enhanced support and durability at the heel. With a heel dampening midsole and a replaceable anatomical EVA foot-bed lined with Lycra, these shoes are designed for serious riders. Medial dual density ankle protectors are strategically placed for added protection and flexibility, while internal toe box and heel counter reinforcements enhance the ergonomic design.
