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. View detail

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. View detail

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) View detail

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. 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. View detail

Hard at first, but it takes time to adjust.

[How is it used?
Commuting (except summer)
Was the one you received as per Image?
Just like the image!
How was your experience with it?
At first, the Large was hard, but after about 3 months of use (2 hours a day) for commuting, it became accustomed and had a good hardness.
Waterproof function is good!
[Points to note]
The width is narrow. I decided to go with a size 1cm larger than the standard 4E (mountaineering shoes). I was still narrow at first, but after I got used to them, they became a little larger. 0.5cm larger would have been fine.
I own similar Boots from TCX, but I think AlpineStar seems to fit better (conforms to the shape of my foot). See photo
How did it compare to other products?
Functions etc. are the same as TCXBoots etc.

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

A little stiff, but I think it's good.

I think the leather is a little stiff.
[Points to note]
I usually wear 27cm in Sneakers. This time, I fit the width in EU43 and JPN27.5cm.
There is some room in the toe, but it is acceptable.

I'm happy with it View detail

That was a good purchase

I decided to buy a pair of leather Boots from a Manufacturer because I have been wearing leather Boots for more than a decade and they don't fit in and hurt when I wear them.
The choice was made with safety in mind for touring at high speeds.
I was a candidate for GAERNE's G-MIDLAND and checked the size at a real store, but I wondered if it would not fit my ZX-25R when I tried it on. I tried on a pair here.
I bought it from WeBig because I really like the way it wraps around my feet.
My normal shoe size is 25.5, but 26.5 is very good.
It was the first time for me to wear such long boots, and I was worried that the brake and shift operation would be difficult. When I got off the motorcycle, I felt like I was wearing hard boots and it was a little bit difficult to walk.
I wish I had bought them sooner because I had been riding with a certain Manufacturer's leather Boots that hurt when I wore them and even became sore and numb when I rode, so I should have bought them sooner. I like them very much. View detail

Insole alpinestars prints peel off quickly.

There is an alpinestars logo print on the insole, but it peels off the same day I put them on.
Did you get Garbage in your Boots while riding the Motorcycle? I felt sick all the time, and when I took a break, I looked at it and found it had turned into a sticky mess.
I peeled it all off by hand because it was disgusting.
If it's not durable at all, I'd like it to be Printless and lower the price for that. View detail

European size44

Purchased for my husband who is European size 44.
Since different brands have different sizes that fit differently, from 27.5cm to 29cm, webike's free return system is really helpful. In case the size is too small, you can just buy a new pair in a larger size.
Other motorcycle shops often do not have large sizes in stock, and even if they can order them, they require you to purchase them and wait for the delivery date.
Since I started buying shoes and motorcycle wear on webike, I have saved myself from unnecessary purchases.

I was going to buy the large size (29.5cm) at first, but they said they were out of stock, so I bought this 28.5cm (44) to try it on. When I tried it on, the size felt good.
I feel comfortable purchasing this product because I have other Boots made by Alpinestars.
Alpinestars is also attractive because its countries of manufacture are Asia (Bang Gradation Shu, Vietnam, Pakis Tan, etc.) other than CHINA. View detail

First alpinestarsBoots in my life

What was the deciding factor in your purchase?
I have never tried on alpinestars Boots in my life. alpinestars is well known among motorcycle riders and SS riders wear them a lot. I wanted to wear alpinestars boots at least once in my life, so I bought GAERNEG-EVOLUTION FIVE last year …The deciding factor for my purchase was the brand power! I am very happy with the quality of the shoes. (I can see why girls want different Brand products lol. ) alpinestars is an Italian brand that began in 1963 as a manufacturer of mountaineering boots. Since then, the company's technology has been proven in the world's top class races such as MotoGP.

[How was the product?
I have never tried on alpinestars Boots because I am from a rural area. This is the first alpinestarsBoots in my life. This is my impression comparing GAERNEG-EVOLUTION FIVE and SMX-SBoots that I have now.
The opening is the same as GAERNE's, using the Magic tape and ZipperSystem, and the large opening makes it easy to put on and take off. However, both boots may feel tight around the ankle when you put them through, but once they are through, they are the same as usual motorcycle boots. The softness of the boots is not so different from the G-EVOLUTION FIVE, and will become softer as you get used to them. The most important thing is the direction you step when you put your foot on the footpeg. (Extend side) I think there would be no problem if there is flexibility in
The size is 26cm for both G-EVOLUTION FIVE and SMX-S. Even though SMX-S is 26cm larger than G-EVOLUTION FIVE, it is a little more comfortable and I am glad I went up one size. By the way, when I compared the two boots side by side, G-EVOLUTION FIVE is a little smaller than SMX-S. (Slim) I think that the "I" in "I" is a good thing.
I am 25.5 cm in size. The size of the shoes I usually wear is 26cm, one size up. The SMX-S I bought is also one size up, 26cm.

[Others]
Racing boots are often slightly tight to ensure safety, and therefore, when trying on the proper Size, the width of the foot will feel tight. However, if you choose the correct width, you will surely have excess fingertips, which will hinder accurate operation. As I live in a rural area where it is not possible to try on the shoes, I selected the size based on the owner's impression of the SMX-S and purchased it. In such a case, the free return policy of Webig gives me a high sense of security after purchase! View detail

You can count on it.

I purchased this for my new Leather suit.
Design compatibility is excellent.
I tried on a few sizes in the Shop before I bought them, so the sizes are fine.
They are tight around the instep, so it would be better to go up one size from your normal shoes.
I immediately tried it on Circuit, and from the beginning it was familiar and no problem to operate.
It is not the highest MODEL, but it is good enough for me, Parenthesis is good, and I got a discount, so I got a good deal. View detail

Cospa may be the strongest!

It is marketed for touring, but I use it in Circuit Race.
I haven't worn a??Boots in about 25 years, but they have become so comfortable that I could easily mistake them for a pair of boots from back then.
Even if you don't have much Race Gold and can't afford the expensive SUPERTEC, these Boots will be enough to compete. 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

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

Excellent design and high functionality

At first they felt tight, but as I got used to wearing them, they fit my feet better. I think they are very well-made boots.
I like the GEARShift and Rear brake because I can feel the operation of the brake and my feet are protected firm and secure, and the design and functionality are simple but well integrated at a high level. View detail
