Alpinestars Supertech R 2015 Boots Men - Black/White - 46

Amazing boots! They are super comfortable and feel amazing my foot pegs. I would say if you have slightly slimmer feet it might be a good idea to order a half size down. I usually wear a size 8-9 shoe so I got a size 8 boot. It fits well but I feel it could be just a little more snug. It certainly helps if you have riding pants you tuck into your boot.

Fits great. Very comfortable for track boot and true to size. I'm not a fan of the zipper since access is a little tight. Would have preferred full buckles like the tech 7. But solid fit.

I am extremly happy with my decision to purchas a more expensive boot.they really comftable to walk around in while still feel really safe without the ridgidity and squeeking when you walk around.my prevoius boots were the SMX plus and the supertechs are loads better.

??% ?? squid review

I got the boots cause of how freaking cool they looked lol there amazing tho There a lil bit awkward at first. I usually squid ?? ?? but riding in the boots the toes on the peg position feels natural. I will have to adjust the shifter a few notches up tho I was expecting them to be an entire deal to get on and off not at all they slip on and off easily. A lot of design and thought went into designing them. I highly recommend them HIGHLY. LOVE THE FIT THE LOOKS EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM When ordering get a size or size and half smaller they run big

AS boots are wide

I've always purchased AS boots due to the wider width. I am satisfied with the product overall but a little disappointed that some sections were rubber instead of leather. My 20 year old boots were all leather.

Feels Like it's Worth the Money

The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because I haven't worn them on the bike yet. The fit was true to size for me, and it feels like they would be very safe to ride in. However, I live in Florida, and it gets pretty hot in the boot really fast. I don't have a problem with my feet sweating, but I can tell if I had these on for a while, they would. The feeling of the boots on the lower part of my legs feels stiff/restricted, but not in a bad way. It feels like it would do a great job protecting the lower parts of my legs and feet. For any women looking to buy these boots, I wear a size 8 in women and the 40 fit perfectly for me. The only things for me are the zipper is hard to zip up at times and that the boots sorta look bulky, but not too bulky. They look ... MoreThe only reason I gave it 3 stars is because I haven't worn them on the bike yet. The fit was true to size for me, and it feels like they would be very safe to ride in.

(even though they are for men).I really wanted the vented black/white boots, but they didn't have my size available. So I got these but in the wrong color.

Great top tier boot

I initially had an issue where the zipper clasp on the left boot broke. For the first test fit indoors, I had the zipper all the way up, and everything secured. As I started walking a few steps, the zipper popped and upon further inspection, one of the teeth toward the top were bent and the clasp bent too. I was able to send them into Alpinestars for a free warranty repair(although I had to initial shipping). I suspect the stitching from factory was just a tad tighter on that side, as the right boot had no issues.If you have big calves and "smaller feet", this can make the boot a tad on the tighter side. I measured my feet and initially ordered a size 45 as my feet are wider than normal. While it fit great in most places, I had too much toe room and my ankle could ... MoreI initially had an issue where the zipper clasp on the left boot broke.

I measured my feet and initially ordered a size 45 as my feet are wider than normal. While it fit great in most places, I had too much toe room and my ankle could wobble with thin or thick socks. I downsized to a 44 and the length is perfect, but it does take a little bit of effort to pull the zippers up in comparison (I didn't manhandle it when the zipper broke though lol).For reference in bald eagle sizes, I wear a 9.5w in Rocky Coyote Brown boots, and usually a 11.5-12 in street shoes with plenty of toeroom, but upsize due to width.Other than that, the boot has been great. The two boot design while awkward to put on and take off, provides confidence in protection. Took about two rides for them to break in and the non-venting model has not been a problem for me on 2hr street rides in 90*+ Arkansas weather.They aren't uncomfortable to walk short distances in. Just wobbly due to the heel and foot design.I purchased these boots back when they were $499 msrp(now $599) and was able to take advantage of a promo and RPM cash, bringing them down to the $370 mark, a deal I couldn't pass up.I would say they are a bit overkill for street use. Unless you also plan on tracking or just have the extra funds, go with the SMX 6 V2's. Other reviews stated they are more user friendly in terms of taking on/off and walking around while still offering good protection

Great track and sport riding boots!!!

Great boots, very comfortable for track riding! For sport riding on road they are great also, very protective and well made. If you need a pair of boots for tour riding, these are not the best choice. They are track riding boots, made for the track, very sensitive and fit like a glove. I prefer them to Dainese and to me they fit better. I wear a 43 and they fit true to size.

Injured my foot wearing these boots

Not a bad boot overall but I was involved in a high side with them. My left foot was badly sprained and bruised while wearing these boots. I've also heard of someone else injuring their heel with these boots as well. Boots are a bit bulky when trying to operate shifter and brake but they are very comfortable.

Pros and Cons

These boots look to be quality made and offer great protection. However the inner/outer booty design makes it a hassle to get on and off as well as making them externally much larger than my current SIDI Mag 1 boots. In the end, I returned them and bought a new pair of SIDI Mag-1 which are a breeze to get on/off and are very slim and unobtrusive while riding.
