Roam_Boots_0034 I recently reviewed the Alpinestars Roam boots for webBikeWorld and that review has now been posted. These boots, purchased from our friends over at Cycle Gear in Madison, are stylish, reasonably priced, and definitely waterproof. Here's a brief excerpt from the review:

The Roam boots have a "tall-ish" profile, measuring 11 inches (28 cm) from the ground to the top of the boot and that puts them smack in to the touring category. The styling is reserved and simple and you can have them in any color you want...as long as it's black.

For their size, the Roam boots are lightweight but have a solid feel at the same time. The boots don't use zippers to fasten; instead they have hook-and-loop fasteners in three locations on the outside of the boot. This may be a good or bad thing, depending on how flexible the wearer is; we'll get to that a little later.

I wonder if they are like my Tourmaster WP boots...after two years they started to weep ever so slightly at some point near the shifter pad. It was raining pretty hardcore though. I generally despise having to wear any m/c footwear due to having to either wear them off the bike or take regular shoes along for the ride.

If Brandon thinks they are fussy to get on and off, I know I wouldn't like them. On in the morning, back off at work. Back on for ride home, back off again. 4 times a day at least, plus leisure riding. The buckle would drive me nuts.

these are pretty good boots for the money. I ran my track day in them and was completely comfortable.
I will have to call Norm.....
