The Alpinestars Tech 10 Cross boots is one of the most popular driving MX of all time. For the 2019 season, the boot will be radically renewed again, offering the high-end protection that characterizes the TECH ten in an impressive package.

While the look remains more or less the same as the old model, major changes have been made to the feel, weight and safety of the boot. The redesigned boot is much more flexible and allows for natural movement but protects the foot better from than it's predecessors from overstretches and harmful rotational movements. Technical innovations:

• Frontal flex frame The lower leg and foot are attached to each other with a shoulder mechanism that provides natural ankle movement but prevents any overstretching.
• Ankle control system The boot has both outside and inside joint solutions that allow for natural movement but protect against rotation and provide protection against pinching and impact. Because the joint on the new boot provides more trajectory to the ankle than the old model, where the joint was only on the outside, a stopper has been added to the front of the boot, which, as the name implies, prevents ankle tendons from overstretching.
• Dynamic Heel Compression Protector The built-in heel protection is injection-molded from shock-absorbing materials and provides protection against very hard shocks at the bottom of the boot. This feature has been developed in the Supercross series in conjunction with professional drivers to reduce ankle and heel injuries.

The insole of the Tech 10 Cross boot has also received a lot of innovations. First, the inner shoe is now thicker throughout and better absorbent. The restraints on the ankle that prevent the inner shoe from overstretching also give more space to the natural trajectory than in the previous model but prevent harmful overstretching. The inner shoe is definitely more comfortable and unobtrusive and easier to wear than the previous model. The inner shoes are also sold separately and by buying another pair of inner shoes you will get fresh and dry boots on your feet for the second lot as well and you will not have to buy another pair of boots.

The new Tech 10 is up to 400 grams lighter than its predecessor, although a lot of new protection features have been added to the boot. This is achieved by looking at the materials in each part of the boot. The buckles of the boot alone have saved about 100 g by replacing them with forged aluminum, which also guarantees better durability than the predecessor. The outer dimension of the boot has also been trimmed so that the new boot is now more comfortable to ride, has a better feel and is also better suited for drivers with a large shoe number. The shaft of the boot is slightly shorter, thus giving better space to the generalized knee pads. The part of the insole is now also lower, which makes it easier to change, and the material of the sole of the boot has also been redesigned for better fit.

There’s a reason most of the world’s best drivers choose these boots to protect their feet. If you want the best, most advanced and modern Cross Boots, the choice is obvious - choose Alpinestars Tech 10's!
