SMX-1 R v2 VENTED BOOT [SMX-1 R v2 VENTED Boots].

Racing boots Short version

Was the one you received as per Image?
I even tried it on in an actual store, so it was just like the Image.
It has a Rubber Belt with Velcro fastening on the instep,
There was not much difference whether this was loosened or tightened, and it was almost like an accent on the design.
The side fastener is a watertight Type and requires a lot of force to close.

[How did you feel about the Fit?
Alpinestars shoes fit the shape of my feet, so I didn't have a problem with the large size.
These shoes are like a shortened version of racing boots and are generally stiffer as they seem to emphasize protection rather than comfort.
First I rode Motorcycle all day and the back of my Left foot hit a little on SHIFT UP and it hurt.
However, this is a matter of individual difference and habituation, and I did not feel any pain after the second time.
I think the flexibility will improve a bit with use.
Also, since the size may differ slightly depending on the model, we recommend that you try on the product before purchasing if possible.
I have purchased the following sizes of Alpinestars shoes and they all fit just right.

SP-1 SHOES 40
RIDGE V2 DRYSTAR BOOT 41
FIRM DRYSTAR BOOT 40.5
SMX1-R V2 VENTED BOOT 41

How was your experience with it?
The ease of gear changing is also no problem, and you always feel a sense of security that your feet are protected.
On the other hand, the sole does not bend as much as ski boots, so walking after getting off the motorcycle is a bit uncomfortable.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I chose the Ventilation oriented Type because I bought it for summer,
Although I could feel the airflow around my ankles, I could not feel the ventilation in my feet as much as I would have liked.
I also noticed that the belt on the instep was mostly decorative, and the fastener was difficult to tighten.
I think it would be much better if you could put a leather tag on the fastener to make it easier to pull, so I expect improvement.
However, the concept may be that they don't want to put something that will interfere with driving rather than something that is easy to put on and take off...

What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
The whole shoe is like a Protector. w
The toe and heel have a stiff cup shape and the Sole does not bend easily.
Naturally, the area where the Shift hits is reinforced, and there is also a pad in the ankle area.
Also, the SIDE part of the foot has a resin slider, which can be replaced if it gets worn out.
If you are going to run the car in such a way that you have to replace the cores, I think you should honestly put on racing boots.
We believe this is Attachment. (Parenthesis nice w)

How did it compare to other products?
I had actually planned to buy the MODELSP-2, the successor to the AlpinestarsSP-1 that I had been using.
The BOASystem, which I had longed for, was installed, and I thought this was the only way to go, but when I actually tried it on, I found that the foot space was too narrow.
Even with the BOA loosened, it was very Large strange to put on and take off.
The BOASystem Merit, which makes it easier to put on and take off, did not live up to it at all, and the high price made us abandon the project.
The result was a pair of shoes that fit the criteria of having a sporty feel and good protection.
I bought this one

Opinions and Requests to the ▼Manufacturer
Please hurry up and bring out the SP-3 with BOASystem, which is easier to put on and take off and has a better parenthesis! View detail

No real smart phone Touch available.

The phone Touch is very unresponsive.
The index finger is very unresponsive except on the side of the thumb, so although it sometimes responds with the tip of the finger or the belly of the finger, it cannot be operated as expected. It is almost always a misoperation.
I think this is unique to this product as it works normally with other Alpinestars gloves.

I am satisfied with the fit and design. View detail

Soft and easy to grip

It is soft and easy to grip for easy operation.

Size is Small.

As mentioned in the title, it is small in size.
However, in my case, I am not happy with the fact that the Small fingers have about 1 cm extra.
The fit is tight, but I expect it to get more comfortable in my hand every time I use it.
The design is AlpineStar, which I think is cool. View detail

Maybe it was a little small.

I don't feel much weight when driving.
Belt also holds well.
However, when I put Wallet and Eyeglass Case in it, it is too full. This is due to the shape of the items to be put in and the quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) I think it is because of my baggage. I thought the capacity was a little small, but I think it will be no problem if I use it together with Seat bag.

As expected of Alpinestars, Parenthesis is good and I am glad I bought it. View detail

Alright

The design seemed casual, yet well-defined and comfortable to wear with no difficulty in movement at all.
I would like to get another one in a different color if I had the chance.
If you wear something thicker in the inner, it may be a little tight.
It is more like spring and fall than summer. (with Winter Inner installed)
If I had to make an order, I would have wanted another Pocket.
Pocket on both SIDES and another on the chest if you have one.
Of course, if you are going to wear Protector, you don't have to go in.
Basically, I like Large! View detail

Try it once.

[How is it used?
In the beginning of May, maximum temperature 23°C, used for about 1 hour.

Was the one you received as per Image?
Image Street as a Mesh version of Jaguar NotebookPants.

How was your experience with it?
Wind passes well from the thigh to the crotch, but not so much from the knee to the calf where the Protector is located.

[Included Parts:were they on?
Two Knee Protector and two Sticker.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
At 173cm height and 80cm inseam, the hem is not long enough and does not stretch, so I have to use Middle to Long Type Boots to see the skin. Hip protector was sold separately. View detail

Simple design is good.

2023MODEL got a great deal from webike, thank you♪♪♪
The type belongs to UrbanStyle in Alpinestars' ManufacturerHP, but the AIRJacket we received is an Alpinestars-like AIRJacket, and the quality of the sewing and fastener seems solid and sturdy.
The size is International M Size, so you should not rely on ASIAFit's measurements. In other words, even the M Size is a size larger than ASIAFit. I am 173cm 73kg and when I choose ASIAFit, L Size is just right for me, but in this type, I choose M Size with Chest Protector and Spinal Protector in Quantity.:It is not difficult to move even when set.
The sleeves do not have a belt to prevent flapping in the wind, but the sleeve circumference seems to be made a little tight, so there is no need to worry about flapping. View detail

MODEL changed and lighter.

I have several NUCLEONSeries Back Protector, and when compared to the old MODEL SOLE, it is noticeably lighter. It also seems to be more flexible. It fits into the pocket of the BlackProtector without any gap (of course).
The Design has been flamboyant, but it's not something that should be exposed in the first place, so it's fine. View detail

1/5

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

More expensive is not always better.

I had been using SMX Plus, which is the 2Grade higher grade, but I couldn't get used to the hardness and the hold feeling, so I replaced it with SMX-S. It is soft because it doesn't have a protector like SMX Plus, and the part that comes in contact with the car body is leather, so it is easy to feel the hold feeling. It is easy to recognize the feeling of holding. Although it is not as cool and luxurious as the SMX Plus, the SMX-S is much more practical in actual use. View detail

The phone is not Pinch operable!

[For smartphones]
The index finger has a material for touch screen and can be used for smartphone operation.

When I received the product and tried it on to check the feel of the phone, I found that Pinch In/Out was not working.
I noticed that I can't do it. (I don't have a phone compatible Material on my thumb)
I am sorry but I had to return it because it was free to return.
I use GoogleMap a lot for touring, so not being able to PinchOut is a problem.

You should check the operation of the application you plan to use before ordering.

The design is Simple and Parenthesis is good, but …. View detail

It was as expected.

I was hesitant for a while because it was a new release and there were no impressions, but I really wanted it and bought it. Anyway, I am very satisfied with Parenthesis. I use them for commuting to work and they are waterproof, so I don't get wet from the ankles down. The soles are flat, so they sometimes slip when walking, but I love them. View detail

Asia is like an order-made

I really wanted the T-SP, but since it was not in stock and had a high popularity ranking, I decided to go with this one because I didn't want to share it with others.
I have always liked the SectorSeries and often bought them, but the Casual style still blends in well in the city. However, BlackColor:Gray looks tacky when I put it on and look at it in the mirror... I don't know how it looks to others. I am 169cm, 63kg and AsianSizeS is just size S. It is a little tight when I put Protector in CELevel2. I managed to fit the shoulders and elbows with RSThailand Chi's. Alpinestars has contracted riders all over the world, and they have taken great care to make sure that the sleeves and hem band prevent the fabric from sliding up, especially the hem, which I think is essential for motorcyclists who lean forward. I don't feel the sleeves are necessary, as I can't put the sleeves through while wearing the Watch, and even if I put the sleeves through and then put the Watch on, it puts pressure on my wrists, which is annoying. I don't think it is as good as the SUPER AIR for ventilation, but I think it is better than the RSThailand's Parka series.
Overall, if you want to wear Casual for summer and you like the color, I recommend it. View detail
