These are the Joey Shoes by Alpinestars, they’re designed with summer riding in mind and they’ve been designed to look as much like standard street attire as possible.
Looking at them externally you’d never know that they’re fitted with dual density ankle protectors, reinforced internal toe box and heel counters and a replaceable anatomically engineered PU foam footbed. Though these shoes aren’t going to be as safe as a set of armoured motorcycle boots, they do come pretty close – and they offer an order of magnitude more protection than your Converse Chuck Taylors.
The Joey Shoes are available in two colours – black or a combination of black, grey and red. They cost $139.95 USD and are available in sizes from 6 right up to 13.
