Size Warning.

I bought it because I liked the Design.
It is always better to check the actual size.
By the way, my normal shoe size is 26.5 and the one I bought is 43.
The shape of the Fastener or the part that is difficult to raise in the middle without wearing it in the first place, but when you actually wear it, if you decide on the size of your foot alone, the calf part is quite tight and it is hard to raise the Fastener from the top of the connection.

Comfortable to wear

More than one year has passed since this product was used.
The weight, the cushioning, the hold feeling...very good shoes.
Toe Shift guard is a little thin. Shift change may be painful for some car models.
As for the Size, it's not too tall or too wide, so it's the size I expected.
When driving, you don't feel much wind penetration, so it is very durable even in winter. View detail

The hardness of Sole is just right.

Step work is very easy because Sole is moderately hard.
The sole is not slippery or crushed, and you can easily feel where you are stepping on the footpeg.

If the sole is too soft, the footpeg will bite and hurt when the load is too large, and the lag until the sole collapses and the load is applied is unpleasant. On the other hand, if the Sole is too hard, it is difficult to know where the footpeg is stepping on the sole, and it is difficult to load the footpeg to the fullest.

Alpinestars shoes are generally just right in their sole stiffness.

If you only do casual touring, Sneakers and Boots are better and easier to walk on. If you want to do some solid riding, this is the Recommendation.

The protection is solid, and the Shift controls are not damaged. The price is a little high, but it seems to be worth it.

One size up may be good for those with high instep feet because of EuropeanFitting. It is usually 26cm, but I buy 26.5cm, and I use it by exchanging it for a little thicker Insole.

The Sole is thin, so it may be a little difficult to get a good footing. The person of the footing limit is careful. View detail

Good design.

The design of the appearance is very good and I bought it, but it is also very comfortable to wear, easy to operate Pedal, and has excellent functionality. I would recommend one size larger than your normal shoe size. They are light and comfortable to wear even when riding for a long time. View detail

Flexibility like never before

The Touring boots I've bought so far are surprisingly hard and I feel like I can't get used to them, and I've been buying and selling them repeatedly.
I bought the Super TEC because it was reputed to be quite flexible and to have a good Fit feel.

First of all, it is a Size feeling, but usually mock system 26.5, usually 27.0, Alpine and Adidas are using 27.5, but this time also in 27.5 of 43 was Just fit.
As you know, it is troublesome to put on and take off because it is InnerBoots type, but there is a handle to pull out the Inner, and because the opening spreads like Large, it is not so difficult to put on just because there are many steps.
However, it's a little tight because the zipper is tight, and if you don't wear tight pants, it's tight when you put the hem in.
This kind of boots has a lot of Velcro area, and there is a time when it is annoying that it sticks here and there when taking it on and off, but it is good that it does not stick because there is only Velcro of the smallest limit in the tip of the Zipper.

About the breathability, the MeshRubber of the front seems to be good ventilation, but there is no coolness with a thick lining with Cushion in both Body and Inner, I think that it is more comfortable in winter.

Flexibility is as expected and Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) In the front and rear direction, it is as flexible as Shoes, although the torsion of the frame is firmly suppressed, and it is also good that there is no creaking sound of the frame.

The soles of the shoes are thin and it is troublesome to take them on and off, so they are not suitable for touring where you get off the motorcycle and go around looking at various things, but if you are touring where you stop by the observatory for a bit on the main running, you can use them well enough, because the Black model has a large color scheme.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but it's a good thing. View detail

Purchased for summer use.

With an outside temperature of over 30 degrees, it's almost impossible to feel the wind blowing out, but your feet are dry and comfortable.
In the past, with the riding shoes of a certain company, there was a case that the gravel rolled up by the Rear tire entered from the back of the ankle, so I had avoided this kind of Low cutBoots etc., but such a thing did not happen with these Boots.
Because the hem of Jeans etc. just catches on the Fastener cover, it seems that there is no thing that the socks are seen while running.
The feel of Soleetc. is a little hard, so I think it takes some getting used to for the feel of operation.

It is a size, but usual shoes are 25.5cm, and boots of Kadoya for non summer is 26cm (There is a little room) I've been looking for a new pair of shoes for a while now, and this one is JUST 26.5cm.
Although some adjustment is effective with the Strap of the instep, because it is a Tight making like an overseas manufacturer even so, it seems to be better to choose carefully the one which admits itself to the high flat foot. View detail

Easy to use

[How is it used?
For Pass Touring and Circuit
Was the one you received as per Image?
Street Image
How was your experience with it?
It got softer as I got used to it.
[Points to note]
At first, it was hard to operate because it was hard, and it was the first time to use high Boots, so it was dangerous to get caught in the Shift.
How did it compare to other products?
If it looks good, it looks great. View detail

I feel safe.

I think that if you buy the same size as the shoes you usually wear, there is no doubt. They hold up to your ankles so you feel secure and are easy to shift. They are also light enough to walk in comfort after getting off the motorcycle. View detail

Comfortable to wear and easy to operate.

The SMX-PLUS is too tight in the calf area, and the Fastener placed on the outside does not close completely, and it came down while running, but the SMX6 has the Fastener placed on the inside, and the Fastener does not come down because it covers it. Compared to the PLUS, there is more room in the calf area so it is easier to wear.

The structure is designed to inhibit ankle twisting, which is good because it seems to reduce Damage in the event of a fall.

It would have been better if the Color line nap had White×Red×Black. View detail

Tight construction overall

Design and color scheme is the coolest.

However
As with all Alpinestars products, it's built tight.

If you choose the size of the foot, the part of the shin is too tight, the Fastener of the SIDE does not go up to the top, and because the fix is only pressed with Magic tape, the Fastener comes off during the run and comes down.

You might want to choose the One sizeLarge size. View detail

The back part of the foot is thick and slightly difficult to operate

I choose racing boots for their maneuverability because I do a lot of winding in the mountain passes. The hold feeling and the operativeness were good when I put on the boots this time.

I usually wear 25.5cm size, but in the winter I have to wear thick socks and InnerSocks, so I decided to go with One sizeLarge, and this time I also decided to go with 26.0cm, but it was not too large, it was the size that even thick socks can go in.
Some shoes made in Europe have narrow widths, but they are not too narrow and have the same size as Japan's shoes.
I think you can choose by the size feeling that you usually wear.

The ankle area is also made in a size that goes in just right even with the leather suit on, and it is not difficult to put on. I think it is good that it is made so that it can be fastened with the string inside and the Hold feeling can be adjusted by the taste.

The buckle part is easy to operate and very easy to use.

Although there is a feeling that the bellows of the instep is slightly thick and the movement is restricted, I think that it will be acclimatized by using it. View detail

Used for forest road and course driving

I was a GAERNE guy for off-road boots, but I wanted to try Alpine boots.
The Alpinestars Off-road boots have a narrow calf and a thicker interior for a better fit and protection, and the EDSole is slippery on rocks and Muddy.

In the same price range, in terms of hardness, the (hard) AlpineTEC3ED←CYPHERJ←EDPRO (soft)
Slipperiness of Sole (Slippery) EDPRO←AlpineTEC3ED←CYPHERJ

Compared to the MXBoots of the upper MODEL, the ankle is soft and easy to move and walk, so there was no problem.
I chose it for its thick interior fit and good protection.
I didn't feel any discomfort even with three Belt stops.

It was a good buy for my first pair of Alpine off-road boots because the price was lower than the higher model. View detail

Satisfactory product. However, there is an initial defect, please correspond.

I've been looking for a size 9 for a while now, but they're all sold out and I finally found them.
I do not know the size feeling, was a little anxious, but the shoes that I usually wear 36.0, assuming that it is a little hard because Riding shoes, one Large fineness 9 (36.5) It was a good decision to buy the The price is high, but I am satisfied.

It's just an initial defect, one of the shoelaces is frayed.
In that respect is the rating Minus.
Can we trade? View detail

Generally, I'm satisfied

I felt that the GAERNEGRearct was a little heavy, so I bought a lighter AlpineTEC7 for Enduro.
It's definitely lighter and more comfortable and soft than the former.
The long-awaited Waterproof is also much better than the former, I think it's not completely Waterproof, but the former even got my socks wet when running in a stream, but the latter didn't get wet at all and was used in races with streams from 5cm to 15cm deep.

I like it very much.

I tried on the shoes in the 2 Ringkans, etc., and was unsure of the SYNTHESE 14 of Elf until the last minute, but I liked the design and decided on the Aluminum PipeStars.
The size is usually 26.5cm, but it is Exactly 9.5. There is no difficulty in walking at all and there is a sense of security because they are held firmly while riding.
