Alpinestars Men's Sektor Street Motorcycle Shoe, Black, 6

If you need a larger size, order it! Firstly, I have to say I agree with people who say you should buy one whole size bigger, especially if your feet are a little wider than you would expect. Two stars were deducted because I ordered the "standard" riding shoes and I received the "vented" riding shoes since I was not aware that shoes had vents It was hard for me to decide whether to keep them or not. It does allow a small amount of air in, but not a lot (I ride a Kawasaki Concours, which may play a role since the fairing is so big). The comfort of your home can make a huge difference Although they are decently comfortable, they do not compare to a good pair of sneakers There may be one dress shoe, and one riding shoe. The riding shoe does not have a raised heel, so it is a flat shoe. During a ride of 8 to 12 hours or even just walking around during breaks would be comfortable enough to wear the Sektor all day. If you have the room, an insole would provide some extra comfort (I went up one size and still do not have - We now know what wear and tear is like (general use) Sektors are only my second set of filters and I've only had them since about six weeks I have only had them for 8 weeks, so I cannot speak to how long they will last, but I ride almost every weekend and have not had a single problem so far. The slides are super easy to put on and off, and the laces are super easy to tighten. Nevertheless, removing the road grime after washing them can be quite a challenge. Although it may not seem so, the bottom of the shoe provides a great deal of traction when standing on the Furthermore, they give positive feedback as you shift and brake. Alpinstar Sektor riding shoes are overall a really good choice for me. Although I think the cost is higher than it needs to When I am able to get a few years out of them with no issues, the cost will not be a concern, but the sewn-in fabric eyelets they use for the laces can cause problems. The eyes don't usually last as long as regular eyelets do because they're not as sturdy as regular lace eyelets. The following is an EDIT implemented on It has been nearly a year and about 6000 miles since I bought these riding shoes - so far, they are holding up well. There are no problems in the slightest. stress that if your feet are even the slightest bit wide, you need to size up one full size otherwise, you may need a half size up. This is not the size I would have chosen if I were a "normal" woman. I bought a 14 wide. The sizes I generally wear in everything else are 13 Despite wearing these Alpinestar shoes for 13 years, they still feel tighter than any of my 13 shoes or sneakers! As of this point, I have not noticed any "stretching" of the shoe, so if they fit very tightly, you shouldn't really expect them to stretch too much (maybe a shoe stretcher would be useful, but I have not experienced any stretch when wearing them)! It is a great riding shoe that is comfortable, except for a slight tightness.

After talking with the local shop owner, I was receptive to the idea of foot protection. I would normally wear my hi top vans, but after speaking with him, I was "woke" to it. Rather than offer me a fitting boot or a racing style shoe, this shop only had shoes that cost $170+ which did not match my riding style (CBR500R). Having looked around, I saw that there are a lot of boot options, but I was looking for a more sporty style. With this shoe, I had a form and function that I needed. When I received this shoe, I immediately noticed that the box it came in seemed quite It was almost as if I thought I was being scammed and there was nothing in it. I didn't find the Sektor narrow at all it matted my flat foot well to the flat arch and maintained enough protection in the areas you need it to wear all day. The pictures make it look very narrow, but I found it to fit well with my flat foot. The size 9 that I wear on Nike and Adidas is Nike. My shoes are a size 5 and these fit perfectly. I don't like too much gap between my toe and the toe box, just enough to wiggle my piggies from time to time. This shoe allows me to do that without any problems. The grip was one of the things I never thought much about. In addition to siping (small lines usually seen on tires to enhance traction in snow and ice), these shoes have extremely nice stitching as well. Rubber is sticky and tough at the same time. I am glad I got these, and I am glad I got them. Sure, I could test one more, but this exactly what I had in mind when I was looking for a sport-oriented.

During a low side and roll at 45mph I saved my feet with my bare hands. The tires held up well and absorbed all of the road impact.

While I love the look of the shoe, it might not be most appropriate for those with wide feet. The sneakers remind me a little bit of Puma.

They're awesome! I bought them because they reminded me of a shoe without being too much like one. The shoes are quite comfortable. I think the shoe rides that fine line very well, they also match my gear. I would recommend wearing them walking around for a while to break them in, but you would lose some grip on the bottom, they are a good looking shoe at a good price.

get a better sense of the situation. There is a solid sense of construction quality here. You can't expect the same level of protection as a high boot since it is a low cut shoe. Protection can be found on the tip of the toe, but it's not very thick. A good amount of protection is evident in the heel area. An area around the foot that is moderately protected. The bottom of the shoe does not have much padding. Due to all that, you get a very light weight and non-toxic product Shoe with a lot of bulk. might be able to use an insert with these shoes, but I'm not sure how well it would fit due to their narrowness. To make sure that shoes fit properly, you should defiantly go one full size up if your toes are not narrow. It fit much better in half a size, but was It was comfortable to wear a full size. It was convenient to walk in since it is less bulky, but not for long periods of time. As far as we can tell, the treads on the bottom of the shoe seem fine, they integrate well with This tread should last a bit when biking or walking around in a store, but not if you are going on walks or tours. It wasn't very thick, so it might not last as long as other treads. The overall impression is good, the shoe is comfortable (size up. Repurchase is a sure thing for me.

Their protection factor is a plus and they look not bad at all. In my opinion, they wouldn't be comfortable to wear for hours on end. Since I wear a wide 9 1/2, if a wide isn't available for me, I usually have to buy a 10. There is still a little narrowness to them. Almost half a size up would be too wide in the heel and a half size up would be too loose in the toe. Despite the fact that the shoe is not too narrow and might stretch out a bit, the sole is also narrow, so I am not sure how much it will stretch. Because I had been using heeled workboots for the last several years, my heels slipped off the pegs a couple of times on my very first ride. I have been riding for about 12 rides and it has not happened since then. As well as the 18 degree weather that night, the rubber on our shoes may have been more of a summer compound and became harder with the high temperature Furthermore, my feet get chilly when it's around that temperature, but I purchased these for the summer and that's okay with me. It would be a 5 star review if they were wider in fit as well as in.
