Protection as good as Short Boots
Was the one you received as per Image?
I liked the very Sporty appearance, which is typical of ALPINESTARS.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
It is an interior that even I, a Japanese person, often Fit.
How was your experience with it?
Even a super sports bike has the protection that makes it seem sufficient for a little touring.

More vibration transmission from Pedal
Was the one you received as per Image?
Except for the tip and Protector part, they are soft and not tiring to wear.
I didn't mind getting off the Motorcycle and walking around.
I have heard that the zipper is hard, but I had no particular difficulty when putting on and taking off the shoes, so I think it should not be a problem unless you are very inefficient.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
My normal shoes are 27.5 and the same size 27.5 (43) fit perfectly.
The toe was just a little extra and the width was just right besides. (I thought they would be too narrow.)
The heel, ankle, and ankle area feel soft and wrapped on the inside.
I used to wear Alpinestars FASTER 3, but even though the size was Exactly, the toes were not thick enough and my thumbnail was held down, causing pain when I wore them for a long time, but these had enough space and did not hurt.
How was your experience with it?
This is a comparison with Alpinestars' FASTER 3.
The soles seem to be a little thicker than usual. (Knee grip position is just a little bit higher than usual. (Knee grip position is just a little bit higher than usual.)
Grip power has definitely increased and I can move my body with ease. (Although FASTER 3 also grips well.)
If you are running, you can feel the wind around your ankles. (Other than that, they are not mesh, so they are the same as regular shoes.)
It is easy to move the ankle, and it is easy to do Rear brake and Shift change.
The vibration of the Engine transmitted from the Pedal comes directly to my feet. It usually makes my feet numb. (I guess I have to use cushiony insoles or socks to prevent this.)
Motorcycle with little vibration would not be a problem.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
The Elastic band like thing on the back of the foot looks a little bit yucky. It looks like it will deteriorate if exposed to sunlight for a long time.
What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
I think almost all of them are like Protector. It seems to be the first problem for driving on public roads.
The inside is soft and comfortable without feeling Protector.

SportsBoots for the best STREET!
I bought them as summer Boots because I switched to a Motorcycle where the exhaust heat directly hits the ankle area.
Since this was my first time to use this kind of racing boots, I was confused at first by the fixed feeling and shift change, but I got used to it as soon as I started running.
【good point】
Easy on/off and high fit with BOASystem
Protector and Firmly Hold to make sure you are comfortable while riding.
RIDEKNITCalf's high flexibility and breathability, GunGun style and cool feet
The comfortable Shift operation and the ease of footpeg input make you feel like you're riding a motorcycle.
Easy to walk on (for racing boots), I can at least take a short stroll in the touring area.
BootsIn Style, Boots out is also possible with slim pants.
Appearance (Large)
What's not so great about it
The price is too high!
Boots in doesn't show off the cool design….
The size is typical of a slim foot shape for overseas, similar to Nike's RunningShoes when compared to Sneakers. If you have a high instep, wide and fat calf, it may be very tight.
I took a gamble and chose the usual Size, but it was Exactly the Tight Fit feeling.

Racing image's strong GlobalBrand is also available in the city!
Alpinestars is an Italian brand that boasts a top class wear rate in the field of 2-wheeled racing such as MotoGP, as well as in the field of 4-wheeled racing such as F1. I think that this product has realized the comfort of wearing it in the city. I am 174cm tall and have a sturdy body shape, but I have the impression that the size is a little roomy. I think it is good because I have no problem when I ride with emphasis on comfort. View detail
For those who want to wear Casual Racing boots without the expectation of ventilation performance.
When I switched to ZX-6R, I was looking for a pair of riding shoes for the summer to match the SS series, and this was the only one I could find with interchangeable toe sliders.
The color was chosen to match the body color with White.
Although it is a type with a punching leather section, even when the temperature is a little below 20℃, the SS Riding position does not allow good ventilation, and I think it will be a little stuffy in midsummer.
In other words, I feel like I can wear them all year round except in the middle of winter.
However, compared to the SMX-6 V2 BOOT, they are made well enough to be called short length Riding boots, so you have a strong sense of security!
I don't feel that Velcro has much of an effect on comfort whether I loosen or tighten it, and I wonder if it's almost a decoration.
As for the size, I am EU42 (36.5cm) for Alpinestars shoes and it feels good, but I recommend you to try them on if you are buying them for the first time.
I tried to coordinate it with my Riding Pants for your reference.
Boots in type leather pants would also work, but I don't think anyone would do that (laughs).

It was easy to use, even for beginners.
[How is it used?
I bought a new one to run EnduroCourse at Narita MX Park.
I am new to Off-road and have only been to the Off-road Village once before.
I remember that the Boots at that time was O'Neil, but I no longer remember how it felt to use it.
I was looking for a good priced boot for beginners and was advised that Alpinestars' TEC5 would be a good choice.
Also, I am a motorcyclist whose main focus is on circuits, and I use Alpinestars for my boots, which was also a major reason for my choice of boots this time.
Was the one you received as per Image?
I felt that they were solid Boots as well as On road boots.
I didn't know how far to tighten the buckle adjustment, so I tightened it solidly for the time being.
How did you feel when you first put on Boots? "Not so tough, are you?" It was (laughs)
I had compared it to on road boots, but I wondered if it was possible to shift shift with this kind of boots, and if I could feel that I was stepping on the rear brake. I wondered if I could change the shift like this and if I could feel the rear brake being stepped on.
How was your experience with it?
After actually using it, I felt that I could move it more than I thought I could. Also, I ended up falling a lot.
I am glad I bought a solid Boots.
Once my foot got caught under the Motorcycle while going downhill, and if it had been a cheap one, I would have been injured.
As for the sole, it is an MXBoots, so it may not be as slippery as Enduro boots.
I have included a picture of Sole for your reference.
I didn't feel that I was slipping too much! I didn't feel that it was too slippery, but there were a few times when I slipped a few times on Course and couldn't stand on my feet.
[Points to note]
Size feeling, but I think it should be the same as the usual SneakersSize.
I am usually 26.5cm, so I chose size 8.
On road boots are 42Size (26.5cm).
If you want to wear tight, 41 is fine, but you can make some adjustments with Inner Sole, etc,
I thought the same Size as usual would be fine.
If you are really concerned about it, though, you should try it on first.
How did it compare to other products?
I think Boots is more maneuverable than O'Neil.

Evolution!
I had been wearing Tech3s for about 10 years and decided to buy new Boots due to a ripped Buckle.
I bought a Tech5 in a color like Doraemon. I like it very much because it is a rare color.
I tried them on right away and they are just the right amount of softness and the size is just right. (26.5cm) The same size was perfect.
The buckle fastening method has evolved. The previous boots had to be removed forcefully, but the structure has been changed to make it easier to remove the buckle.
I was too tired to take them off after a ride, but with these Boots I was able to take them off right away.
I plan to stay with these Boots for a long time until they break too.

Optimal solution for Alpinestars racing boots
I used to use smx-6 plus, but once I put them on, the feeling of operation was good, but when I put them on, I had to tighten the Inner laces and Fastener with the Ratchet, so it took a long time and I was sweaty before putting them on in the Circuit in midsummer. I stopped using them because they were too much trouble.
Also, there were Briefsing and MachineCheck before the run, so there was a sense of urgency about the time.
These Boots are easy to put on and take off with just a Fastener and Magic tape.
However, the protection is not significantly inferior to the original.
The Boots themselves are also soft, lightweight, and easy to operate.
I thought supertech-r was unnecessary unless you are a top racer.
The size feeling was JUST 43 in my case with 27cm leather shoes.

OffBoots is the only choice for AlpineStar!
I am back in the world of off-road motorcycling for the first time in over 20 years.
The off-road boots I wore at the time were AlpineStar.
I have tried several pairs of GAERNE Boots, believing in the GAERNE myth, believers, but they did not fit my feet.
So I decided to go back to my old AlpineStar shoes.
Now, AlpineStar is a general apparel manufacturer of motorcycle wear such as on-road boots, jackets, moto pants, gloves, etc., but at that time, AlpineStar was a famous brand that only sold off-road boots. AlpineStar was famous for selling only off-road boots at that time.
At the time I was alternating between tech7 and tech3.
I remember that tech7 at that time had InnerBoots in it, but the current tech7 does not.
I also felt uncomfortable with the integrated soles of the shoes and avoided them.
The recent FOX Boots also have integrated soles.
Also, AlpineStar's price was relatively high compared to other manufacturers, which was a factor that kept us away from AlpineStar.
Yes, they are more expensive, but after trying them on, my impression was that AlpineStar is still good! I thought.
The comfort is great!
They are large enough that I can wear them for a long time and not be bothered to take them off immediately.
Also, the Pivot structure of GAERNE and SIDI is near the ankle, while the Pivot structure of AlpineStar is above the ankle.
Does this work? I thought so, but it works much Smoothly than GAERNE and SIDI's Pivot structure.
There is only one disappointment.
See the Red circle area taken from the side of the image.
The difference between the calf and the toe of the foot is very small, making SHIFT UP very difficult.
I wanted the steps here to be a little more Large.
The only negative point is this.
The price is more expensive than otherManufacturers, but they are the best pair for me and I choose AlpineStar for my off-road boots!

Necessary and sufficient for city driving.
Since I switched to SS, I have been replacing my equipment with more race-ish equipment, and I decided to purchase riding boots from Casual to Race-ish as well.
I usually use 26cm as my Base in Sneakers, but EU42 (26.5cm) is just right for Alpinestars.
Because they are made by an overseas manufacturer, there is a sense of fit that cannot be measured by the size notation, so we recommend that you always confirm the proper size after trying them on.
As for the operation feel, there was a problem that the Quick shifter on the Up side did not work well because the footpeg was not applied properly to the Shift Pedal, which was a side effect of the solid construction when the Boots were just wholesaled. I got used to it as I ran.
If I loosen the Velcro at the calf, I can spend my time walking even in touring areas without any problems.
If you want to drive on general roads Main but with solid equipment, or if you are on SS and want to ride in Race ish style, this is a good choice.

For winter use only
As may be the case with some high-end products such as GORE-TEX, even waterproof material is not a waterproof material. "Steam resistant." However, the steam will be removed after some time.
When it gets reasonably warm in spring or fall, it still gets stuffy. Therefore, I wear RIDEKNIT in those seasons. In summer, I can't use it at all. On the other hand, in winter, I can wear RIDEKNIT without getting stuffy and my feet don't get cold. It might be better to think of them as windproof rather than breathable and waterproof.
Shoe laces can get caught if left in place, so they are tucked away inside the Magic tape's belt.

Cool!
It looks Parenthesis good and is easy to put on and take off.
The Black Rubber type fits on the Left leg when the Shift operation is used.
It is better not to put it on because it will gradually shift.

The best item selected after wearing a variety of Boots.
I have worn Boots from various Manufacturers, but I had never worn only Alpinestars.
I have been wanting to get one for a long time, but Timing didn't have it in stock and I couldn't buy it.
This time, Timing had the one I wanted in stock, so I didn't hesitate to buy it.
I tried it on after I bought it and the size was EXACTLY the same.
I wear thicker socks when I run Circuit, so I have taken that into consideration for Size.
It is a Type with InnerBoots like Boots for Snowboarding.
I thought it would be a bit of a hassle to put them on, but it was less of a hassle than I thought it would be.
Remove InnerBoots from inside before putting them on and tighten the laces before putting them on.
Outer is very secure with the zipper closed and secured with a ratchet belt.
It is fixed, but I don't have any difficulty moving my ankle.
I have not actually used it in Circuit and look forward to trying it out.
The design is also cool and I plan to show it off! (Lol)

Inner available
My normal foot size is 25.5cm, but Inner is tight.
I decided to go with 26cm because of the information that I had received.
It was correct and Just size.
I use it in Circuit and it fell over once.
I didn't get hurt when my leg was pinched.
Thank you
The Inner string is thin and seems to break.
I would like to use it with care.
It is rather Fit to the foot. Especially for breaking in.
It does not seem necessary.

Buy for Enduro
I always enjoy exploring the forest roads while riding my GasGas EC250 on Forest Road Touring, but my Boots are getting old, so I bought new ones.
I am already on my third pair of TEC7Enduro. I tried GAERNE's FastBack on the way, but they hit various parts of my feet and caused pain, so I got sick of wearing them. It was as if my feet were stuck in a square box.
In comparison, the TEC7 has no parts that hurt when they hit you, and you can wear them as if you were wearing sneakers, which I think is a feature of the largest size. This is as expected of a Brand that started out as a shoe manufacturer. This is the point of the Largeest Large for my reason for purchasing it.
Alpinestars' off-road boots have an overwhelmingly cool-looking design and a narrow toe that makes it easy to shift gears.
I would like to point out that I think it softens a bit too quickly. It feels very sturdy when it is new, but as it is used, it softens very quickly, and I hope that the speed will slow down a bit. I am a little concerned about the strength of the product.

Looks good! Wear it and you'll be fine!
It is a great product, looks good and wears well. View detail
Lightweight and easy to walk in.
Usual Size 26.5cm, slightly high instep, 42 felt just right! 。 I don't find it hard to walk at all when I get off the Motorcycle and go for a walk at the touring destination. It is light and does not move stiffly.
However, it still takes some getting used to because the inner Velcro gets caught on the footpeg when waiting at traffic lights, etc. ^ ^ Especially for Fixed Type footpeg.

Good product, but beware of Size feeling.
I had been riding Motorcycle with safety shoes, but I wanted Motorcycle-specific ones, and I bought them because they were at a discount price on Outlet.
My usual Sneakers size is 26.0 and leather shoes are 25.5, and the 41 size fits me perfectly.
I have a narrow foot, so they feel just right, but Alpinestars FootWear, as often said, is designed for EU foot shape and may feel tight for some people. I recommend trying on the actual product.
As long as the size fits, they feel tight and my feet don't move inside the shoes, which is a big difference from safety shoes.
You can wear them in the middle of winter with no problem, but be aware that your feet will indeed get cold. Overall, I found them to be a good purchase that I can wear all year round.

be able to move (TECH10 comparison)
Was the one you received as per Image?
Yes, I have used the company's Off-road boots before. We had used their Off-road boots before and it was as per Image.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
I choose 1SizeLarge larger than my usual shoe size. 。
As for the width, there is an adjuster moth, so I was able to fit it within its adjustment range. 。
How was your experience with it?
Among Alpinestars' off-road boots, the TECH7 is definitely stiffer due to its higher protection, but the Protector is articulated and moves. They are easier to walk in than the TECH10 boots I have been using. I am happy with the EDSole as it is mainly for Enduro use.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I really wanted a Dry star, but the color variations were not available, so I went with the NORMAL 7 ED. I wanted this color of Dry star.
What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
It is enough. I don't want to get hurt.

Comfortable to wear.
Design is cool!
Good ease of putting on and taking off.
Large sturdy even for wide feet. (It is about the width of EEE of New Balance)
Since there is a firm Magic tape at the entrance of the Boots, you should apply the Magic tape by leaning forward with your shin firmly against the Boots, and then latch the Boots!
