One frustration I expertise with off-road boots are the buckles that are liable to misalignment, changing into troublesome or breakable after use, or coming open whereas using. Alpinestars has developed the polymer, fiberglass, and aluminum buckle system on the Stella Tech 3 boots to be “self-aligning,” light-weight, and straightforward to make use of, even with gloves on. The three buckles differ place from entrance, aspect, ahead, and again to guard in opposition to unlatching utterly when using in branches or rocks.
