My experience of using this boot has shown me that alpinestar makes a good pair of boots. The reason being is because when I was riding I had a very bad crash over a double and my leg was run over by another dirtbiker. While I realized that I could of gotten seriously injured I was so very happy that the boots that I were wearing gave my ankle a very sturdy support. I have had other experiences with other boots where my ankle was also run over by other dirtbikers and it did not give me that same support that the alpinestar tech 10's gave me. Also, some of the reasons of why i liked the boot are because the boot does not make my feet swety and it is a comfort to wear it is like wearing a vera soft sock but its a boot and that is what i love about the alpinestar tech 10's.
I have bought alot of different brands of boot, and the alpinestars seem to last longer than other brands. Yes, they cost alot, but they last twice as long as other brands. Most comfortable, feels like wearing shoes. I don't think I'll buy any other brand.
Bought these, and wore them the next day to the track, they were pretty stiff, my feet were a little sore after a day of riding, I had to take them off any time I came in. Wore them out a second day and they felt perfect. I'm a 10 1/2 and got size 10, they fit perfectly. The price stung a little, but knowing you can replace pretty much any piece in the future, they're worth it. I can't say enough great things about these boots. I went from the 3's to Tech 10's and they are a much better boot. The 3's we're good, but there's no comparing the two.
I have used these boots for the past 3 years, best boot out there! they give great support and great comfort! They aren't that bad to break in and they last a long time!
