Questions & Answers
Tactical pants with these boots are what I wear when I ride. I have not worn jeans with these boots, but I think if the jeans are not too tight around the ankles I think they could fit.

It measures almost exactly 10 inches from the sole to the top of the shin protection on the boot I wear in size 12. It is a very good boot for riding, not for walking around town. You cannot flex the boot while walking but it is very stiff. This is perfect for adventure riding, if you ask me.

I received these today, but I am sorry to say that I will be returning them. The next size up is what I will order. I like the boots a lot!

My wife actually had to unsnap one of the boots from the buckle when I nearly failed to buckle them. As my legs aren't as long as a tall motocross boot, I wanted something lower on the leg. I like how they are padded and the buckles are of good quality. Boots have really nice soles, they seem like they are going to grip the pegs and the mud well when you walk on them. My hope is that I will fit into the 11 It's too bad I have to wait for them to arrive. Don't hesitate to get a size up, I guarantee the fit will be perfect!.

A comfort is my #1 priority, and my #2 priority is Safety is paramount. As a consequence, I will sacrifice some overall comfort in favor of A few years ago, my last pair of boots were Timberland Pros Logger boots (not even motorcycle boots, but very comfortable and protective). I am much more comfortable in these Alphinestars Drystar boots than I thought I would be. The reviews I read stated that these boots are stiff like snowboard shoes or ski boots and that walking in them is unbearably difficult. As someone who has spent many years on the slopes, I can tell you that these boots are not as stiff as snowboard boots, nor (If your walks are short distances or fewer than a mile in length) these Alpinestars will be comfortable to wear. For hiking experiences on long trails, I do not recommend them.

It wasn't as difficult to put these boots on/take them off as I first thought. You can wear them all day long. (Remember not to take long, long hikes or walks in them. I was not as hot as I had expected them to be on my feet in 80 degrees weather, but fine to venture out to some national park overlook, or to a visitors center, or restaurant, etc. )
(Yes, in the summer you can ride with boots that are cooler, but again, you are sacrificing As a result of wearing impact armor, I am already quite hot, at least when not in motion on my motorcycle -- In any pocket, inside or outside of my riding jacket or pants, I can insert my back, chest, shoulders, elbows, hips, or knees.

The recommendation from other reviews led me to purchase a 1/2 size down (size 9 Alphinestars). I found that the size 9 is a perfect match for my foot with a little bit of room to spare, which makes them very comfortable for walking and riding. It may be necessary to change the size if you have a wide foot. The cons are The price is a bit high. the investment if they are as effective as they look and last for several pants like I do, except on very warm summer days), you will have to wear loose fits/relaxed fits of jeans for them to fit over boots comfortably. I don't really see the con in it, but I guess it is Possibly the biggest downside to these boots is that they do have a hard shell on the bottom.

My shoes are a size nine, but I was concerned that they might be slightly too small since I normally wear a size It can sometimes be a 5, and it can sometimes be There was no problem fitting the nine into the nine. I am pleasantly surprised to find that my jeans and riding pants fit over them as well. Although I have only worn them four times, I feel they are very stiff, as I expected. Although the boots may give the sensation of protection, I am sure they will loosen over time. I have trouble getting the toe under the shift lever, but once I get it adjusted I should be fine. The boots did not appear uncomfortable after a long ride in 83 degree temperatures. When the humidity ramps up this summer, I expect it to get hot. I have not ridden in the rain yet, but I can stand in about 4 inches of water without I would definitely buy these again. They are really well made and I would definitely recommend them.
My purpose in buying them is to use them on adventure rides. Colorado is about a 50/50 split for me. The lower height of these boots makes them perfect for riding. These boots look just like the ones I normally wear. I wear a size 11 and they are a little too big for me. Due to the discomfort of my feet, I wear a thicker sock.

As for off-road riding, I'm not a hardcore enthusiast, but I do ride gravel and dirt roads and they make me feel safer when I am driving down them. The steering is a bit clunky and the shifting is a bit tricky, but after riding them for about 30 minutes, you'll get used to it.
I bought them to provide an extra layer of protection for rides that would take me further away. A four-star hotel recently used this We drove 1100 miles backroads, over the course of a day. I don't know where to begin. It's very comfortable, supportive, and easy to walk Although a bit noisy when walking about, the rubbing of the ankle support makes a squeaky noise when I step on them. I look forward to purchasing more Astars products in the future.
This is by far my favorite pair of medium to cold temperature moto boots. I feel safe and solid when riding because it is waterproof and comfortable. When the temperature rises above 80 degrees, it gets too hot.
