S-MX5 vented
This boot fit perfect I got 11us I'm a 11.5 in sneaker or shoe. However I have relatively thin feet for a man so if you’re a wide this isn't the boot for you. I too am slightly concerned with the longevity of the velcro. I don't know what allot of people expect of the comfort and flexibility of a raceboot, you can't compare it to a sneaker of course, IMO extremely comfortable. I was worried that as the weather cools of the venting would be too cold, which isn't the case. They appear to be as tough as any boot I've tried.

Great Boots
These boots are just what I was looking for. Comfortable, good looking and protective. They work well with my Joe Rocket Blaster pants. The knee armor comes right to the top of the boot. They are true to size - I wear a size 9-9.5 shoe so ordered 9.5's and they fit perfectly. Ventilation works well too. Even when riding in 95-100 degree weather my feet never felt hot.

Great Product
Great product that fits true. I wear between an 11.5 and 12, so I went with the 11.5 and they are slightly snug on the width, but not bad. Very good ventilation and protection.

Great Boot!!!
I bought these boots a few weeks back and I absolutely love them. I have worn them on hot days and I really haven't felt like my feet were sweating too much so the venting does the job. They aren't too bad when off the bike and walking around either. I also love how much leather they have....most full boots have far less so the quality seems great on these. I haven't crashed with them so I can't say how they hold up in that regard but so far so good. I would recommend these boots if you are looking for a fairly affordable full boot.

EXCELLENT quality and fit!!!
Let me start by saying THANK YOU ALPINESTARS! This is the PERFECT motorcycle boot. I am a female rider with a slim build and narrow feet. I was worried about how this boot (or any motorcycle boot) would fit around my calf and foot. The fit of this boot is snug but not tight and completely adjustable at the calf. At first I ordered a men 6 (39) but I decided I wanted a bit more room for the winter when I want to wear thicker socks so I went up a half size. I wear a women size 8 and the men 6.5 (40 Euro) is a great fit. I was also pleased at the low profile these boots have under my straight leg jeans. This is an Attractive, comfortable, and LIGHT boot. Great Buy!

Alpinestars SMX 5 Boot
These boots are by far the best I have ever put on my feet. Not only are they extremely comfortable, giving me the feeling that my feet are wrapped in gloves, they give great support at the same time. I feel very protected wearing these boots as they sit high above my ankles, supporting them, but are supple and not at all stiff feeling. These boots are great for riding; but they are also extremely comfortable once you get off the bike and walk around. Their finish is stylish. The velcro covering over the zip-up sides adds to that style. I would recommend these books any day.

Great boot
These were my first race boot. Extremely comfortable right out of the box. As with any boot they were a little stiff at first but started to loosen after the 3rd ride. They seem to be vented very well as my foot did not sweat too much. They were also a lot lighter that I thought they would be. I would definitely recommend this boot!!! SIZING - To give you an idea, I wear a Nike running shoe in an 11 1/2. I got the Euro 45 (10 1/2 U.S.) in this boot and they fit perfect.

Quality Boot
I was looking for a boot with a little more protection and the S-MX5 had all the qualities I was looking for. Since I live in Mexico most of the time the venting was very important to me as well. I've had the boot a short time but am happy with it so far. I only gave it a 3 as far as durability as the sole does not reach all the way to the front toe of the boot and the leather under the toe area is already showing wear from walking around.

These boots are a hoot!
These have to be the best footware I’ve ever bought. They ride well and are comfy on my tootsies. Great job guys.

GREAT BOOTS
I wear 8 1/2 wide or 9 regular shoes. I originally bought these in size 9 but they were too tight. I returned them and got the 9 1/2 instead. These fit perfectly. Were a bit stiff, but after a couple uses, they have broken in nicely. Walked around with them while shopping at the mall and they were very comfortable. Got caught in a heavy rainstorm today, and while these aren't waterproof, my feet remained dry. Also, since they are vented, my feet never get hot during sunny rides. They are very easy to put on and while I haven't had them for long, they seem like they will hold up pretty good. I would definitely buy these again.

Great boot for a good price
I was looking for a boot that I could wear on my weekend rides that would also be usable for a couple of track days a year. I spoke several times with Alpinestars in SoCal and their recommendation was the S-MX 5 boot - I have not been disappointed. I have about 500 miles on the boots now and they are very comfortable, both on the bike and off. They aren't as high tech as some of the more racing-oriented boots, but I'm impressed so far with the comfort, fit, and build of the boot. Haven't had a chance to take them to the track, but I'm expecting that they will perform well.
