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!

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.

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!

Excellent Fit feeling
The previously used Boots has reached its limits, so we bought a new one for the first time in several years.
We previously used Leatt's 5.5 FLEXBoots and were looking for Boots with a similar fit.
These Boots have a firm fit, with a fit that wraps from the toes to the calf area.
The ankle hinges are also movable, allowing for stress-free walking. As an Enduro who has to push in competitions, I am very grateful for this. (This time, Enduro Sole did not show its true value because Muddy was not used that much…...)
In addition, I was looking for something that would be waterproof to a certain degree, since I would inevitably put my feet in muddy or puddled water when using Enduro. This product, combined with the height of the gate, did not flood at all when I put my feet in a puddle.
However, the Sole seems a little soft and its durability is not encouraging. For frequent riders or those who put a lot of load on their feet, it may be time to replace the Sole sooner.

Firmly feeling is good!
I usually wear full size Off-road boots for my motorcycle life on forest roads in Maine, but I bought these boots for on-main touring. I always wear full size OffBoots, so I feel uneasy when I don't wear firm boots. (It said equivalent to 27.5cm) OffBoots are usually purchased in the large size and have a little room to spare when wearing thicker socks, so the size was just right. The soles are Vibram soles.

soft
[How is it used?
By chance, I got an RMX250 and since it came with a Number, I thought I would become a forest road Two Osan.
I usually go out on Enduro's Race, so I have the TEC7 Enduro SoleDry star, but I wanted a lighter, easier walking Boots, so I chose these Corozal Adventure Boots.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The thing is better than I had imagined. I was wondering why it cost more than the TEC7, but I'm convinced.
How was your experience with it?
Since Pivot is One Side, I wondered how soft it would be, but it is quite soft. It is softer than TEC7 which I have used.
The softness is a little uncomfortable for racing, but it is just right for toco-toco forest road twos.
[Points to note]
Nothing in particular, maybe a sense of Size?
I usually wear shoes around 29cm, but the Alpinestars Boots are the same size and large sturdy.
How did it compare to other products?
BELIZE DRYSTAR that is Short Boots [Belize Dry star] (https://www.webike.net/sd/24278367/), but I chose Long's Corozal Adventure Boots because I was going to be pissed if I got flooded in a stream or something.

I liked the Fit feeling of the Size.
Used for Enduro race.
My foot size is 28.0 for Sneakers, but this one is a US 9 and fits perfectly.
I also use Tech10 at Alpinestars, and that is US10, which is almost the same Fit feel as US9 at Tech7.
Please note that this area differs depending on the MODEL, with or without InnerBoots.
I have no complaints about the waterproofness. It is true that it is no longer wet from the bottom, but when wearing the Knee brace, it inevitably gets in from the top, so it is neither good nor bad.
For Others information
I had been using GAERNE SG-12 for a long time, but they were 28.0. I had been wearing GAERNE SG-12s for a long time, but they were 28.0. I was told that they were made for Japanese foot type, but they did not fit me (I think I have a typical Japanese foot with a high instep, but the width and balance of the instep did not match). If you have a similar type of foot, I would recommend you to compare with this pair instead of being fooled by the claim of foot type.

I seriously can't get wet!
[How is it used?
After 10 years of use, GAERNE's GRearct is reaching the end of its useful life, so we decided to buy more.
I had been wearing GAERNE for a long time, so I thought I'd try Alpinestars, and I was dying to know which one to choose. I was able to narrow it down.
If you are an Enduro rider, you know how uncomfortable it is when water gets into your boots. If the waterproof model is really waterproof, it would be the most powerful boots.
But Dry star (Waterproof) MODEL is
? Probably steaming all over the place.
? Colors are only sober.
These two points became the Neck for me, and I was worried about the colorful EDMODEL until just before I bought it. However, I was attracted by the waterproof feature, so I bought the plain black model.
Was the one you received as per Image?
I think it also helps that Sole is not like TheBoots like GAERNE, but is made like an integrated unit.
How was your experience with it?
It is seriously waterproof. Even if you go into a jab-jab stream, it will not flood. I am impressed.
I was also impressed by the wraparound fitting. It's like, "What the heck is this?
[How did you feel about the Fit?
I usually wear 27.5-28cm for Boots and 29cm for Sneakers.
Worst case scenario, I can just adjust it in Insole, Size:10. (29.0cm) but it was Exactly.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Not particularly
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I still think it's the steaming. I haven't used it yet on a sunny Race in the summer, but we'll see how it goes…
Also, it is vulnerable to KICK. The edges of the Sole are starting to crease a bit.

I think the best way is to buy a regular edmodel and a dry starmodel and operate two pairs. two pairs of Boots will last a long time.

Alpinestars after a long time.
I had to replace my old Off-road boots because they had reached the end of their useful life due to hydrolysis. I was thinking about which brand to choose next, but I couldn't make up my mind and 2 months have passed.... I had to choose between GAERNE's SG10, Alpinestars' Tech10, and this Boots.... But in the end, I decided to go with the Tech7 Enduro. The deciding factor was that it was the first brand I purchased after I started riding motorcycles. (Back to my roots! I cheated on SIDI, FOX, and many others. lol) I compared them with Tech10, but I think they are easier to operate, and then there is the issue of price, etc.... As for the color, there were many lineups, but I think I prefer the single black color that I will never get tired of. (Also, all the footwear I own is seriously all Black lol) As for the Sole, we were not sure about the Standard Type for the slippery Motocross, but based on our experience with MTB, we thought it would bite more into the footpeg. (Traction is likely to be strongly applied) I felt that it was a little bit too "heavy" for my taste, so I decided to go with Enduro's Convex Concave Type. When I received the product, I remembered the first time I bought SMX-6 of the same brand when I was around 18 years old, and it brought back my nostalgia and excitement. I have seen a lot of Boots at the Race and have tried them on many times before, so I know what kind of Boots they are, but I haven't worn them when I actually ride my Motorcycle yet, so I'm looking forward to it!
I want to ride a Motorcycle!

Tech 10 are a excellent boot! Very pleased with my purchase!
Very comfortable and give you confidence when you're on the bike. They are very stiff out of the box but that is to be expected. In my experience they run true to size. I wear a 10 shoe and the size 10 tech 10s fit me perfect with the inner boot. Very happy with my purchase! It took me a couple times putting the boot on with the bootie ( it can be hard if you've never had tech 10s)! My feet never got sore and they were comfortable walking in them. After 4 rides I don't even think of them being new boots. Other than that the support is amazing they absorb impacts insanely well, I personally have great feel of the pegs, shifter and brake lever. Feel like I can lock onto the pegs a lot better. Its easier to stand up and get in that aggressive riding position. Awesome support (surgery on one of my ankles) Im sure I could go on and on being this is only my fourth time riding in these boots. But so far I would defiantly buy another pair. Pricy but way cheaper than a hospital bill! View detail

Design, comfort, durability, all great!
If you want to enjoy Motocross and Enduro in earnest, this is the pair for you! This is my first pair, but I later bought a second pair in a different color. I bought my first pair and later bought a second pair in a different color, that's how much I like them.
Protection is perfect, but not as solidly as TEC10. There is no Gold Guard on the toe, but I have never felt the need for it because it does not hurt when I put my toe against a rock or something.
The most notable feature is the comfort. Other booties always have a hard part that hits the foot, but this TEC7 has no such part. I think this is because the inside is covered with thick sponge or cloth except for the bottom.
I am writing about durability. The Hinge on the Ankle of this color only broke after about 200 hours and was repaired by a Repair shop.
By the way, my foot size is 24.5cm and the size I chose is SIZE 7 It is
The Sole is reupholstered with AlpineOEM Enduro Sole because Enduro race is the main. (I hired a Repair shop to reupholster it after purchase.)

Just the right performance and price
I have been using TEC10→TEC7 and Motocross boots, but this time I bought TEC5. I had been using TEC7 for a long time and was satisfied with it, but I had to replace it this time because it was put out to Garbage.
As far as I read the TEC5 instruction manual, the contents were almost the same as the TEC7, but the price is about 70%, so I was somewhat concerned. The moment I put them on, I felt no particular uneasiness, and I could feel that they were FirmlyHold around my ankles. Also, compared to the TEC7, I felt the lightness at the moment I held them. In fact, I was able to use it without any problem at all when I went around the MINICourse called Motocross Village.
Of course, the top-of-the-line MODEL has the performance to match its price, but for a HobbyRider like myself, who may or may not ride once a week, I think TEC5 would be sufficient.

The best off-road boots that have evolved in all directions
I have been using Alpinestars boots for over 20 years for both on-road and off-road boots. it is a European product, so they are generally slimmer and feel tighter, especially in the toes. Since this was a replacement from the old Tech 7, I bought one size larger. Compared to the old model, I have the impression that the new MODEL is softer in comfort. The buckle is also easier to operate and wear. Also, the weight has been lightened? I haven't worn Tech 7 recently because I seldom do off-road riding anymore, but if you don't maintain them, they will become hard to operate. View detail
Present to Partner
Partner wanted to enjoy Off-road more, so he was excited to procure a new one.
I really wanted to buy GAERNE, but I couldn't find this size in any brand including GAERNE. Although there is some reluctance, we were able to suppress a valuable item.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The overall shape is more rounded than the large-size ones. It feels a little heavier than it looks.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
Partner's foot size is 25.5cm, so this is One size Large. When we put them on, there is a little room, but there seems to be no problem as it is within the margin of error.
How was your experience with it?
The first time I tried OffBoots, it was hard and confusing for everyone, and the same with Partner. You will get used to it if you use it.
The surface is smooth in many areas and seems easy to wash.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None in particular
How did it compare to other products?
I hear that the durability is inferior to GAERNE, but that will be known after 1-2 years.

comfortable to wear
I usually use it on forest roads.
The advanced MODEL for Motocross is too Solidly to move my feet.
Something with this amount of flexibility is just right.
You can walk in the woods, walk in the stores you stop at, and walk without any inconvenience.
The Shift operation is also easy to use and does not make operation extremely difficult.
I can recommend it

Is good
It is solidly built, so the feeling of being protected is high.
Instead, the ankle will not be able to move, so it takes some getting used to, such as Shift operation.
It is a little expensive, but it can be used for a long time and can prevent injuries.

The TECH7 of my dreams
StillMartin→RG→Sinisalo→TEC3→TEC7
I bought my fifth pair of 7's because the sole of my TEC 3's that I had worn for 13 years was worn out. I bought my fifth pair of 7's because they were getting worn out.
My usual sneakers are 26cm, but I have high instep feet, so TEC3 is US size 8, TEC 7 is a 9 (27.5cm). The overall length was almost the same.
Particularly good points
With the Pipod System, my ankle joints have been working well since new, and I can brake, shift, and walk with ease.

I wish there was a white EnduroMODEL.

For beginners.
I bought this for my introduction to Off-road.
I was not sure about Enduro, but it was cheaper.
I made the fit a little tighter.
There's enough room for socks.

It's a preference.
This is my fifth pair of FootWears along with Riding shoes.
When I look at the impressions, I have chosen the Large size for leather products that I cannot try on because the comments on the Small size are scattered.
The Sole itself is made to be slightly large, so OffBoots should anticipate that the skin will grow if the Size setting is correct.
OnBoots (SUPERTECR) was tried on at KUSHITANI and purchased the daily Size, but when actually used, the toes play.
For the convenience of the Size setting, I chose the Large size, so the toes play and the feel of the brake is not good.
Because there is a buckle, the fit above the ankle is good and it is easy to hold the car body, and the feeling of being protected is high.
Pedal positioning and breaking-in is necessary, but it has enough range of motion to allow pedal operation, so overall it has become my favorite item.
Cons of Alpinestars, Velcro is still not long lasting feeling.
