narrow

Alpinestars Boots alpinestars SUPERTECH-R VENTED BOOTS were used, so I bought the same size, but the size feeling is completely different and I can't wear them.
The width is especially narrow, and I don't think I can wear them even if they were one size larger. View detail

Extremely regrettable

In conclusion, this Boots is a design error.
Because the sole is flat, the foot does not go under the shift pedal well during SHIFT UP.
The Sole of the Boots is flat with no depression in the sole area.
The Image is like riding an on-road motorcycle with off-road boots, and the SHIFT UP is the worst.
When SHIFT UP, the toes need to be pointed down and under quite a bit.
I have tried with YZF-R1 and other TouringMotorcycle and it is very difficult to SHIFT UP.
Probably the same difficulty to SHIFT UP is found in Adventure type Motorcycle.
They are expensive Boots and easy to walk in and cool, but the SHIFT UP is the worst.
We had no choice but to raise the position of the Shift Pedal a little for R1, but it is fundamentally no good.
I have KUSHITANI's Boots and AlpineStar's SMX2, but these Boots do not operate the same way.
I cannot instantly SHIFT UP when I want to SHIFT UP.
It's a shame because it was an expensive purchase. View detail
