Great boots
These were my first pair of high end protective boots and they feel very sturdy. When I'm on the bike I feel like my ankles are well protected and your foot can only flex up and down and not very much side to side, which is good. Kind of stiff at first but they all are. The one thing that I don't like about these boots is that the plastic on the boots scrapes together and squeaks on each boot every time you walk. A friend of mine has had these for 3 years and hers squeak even worse, so the problem doesn't go away. Overall they're expensive but seem protective and comfortable.

Great protection and looks!
These boots fit great, I can wear them all day. I have a crash cage on my bike and they protect my shins from ever hitting it. the only gripe is the zipper, its a bit of a task zipping them up but as you put them on and off, the difficulty level lightens up a bit. Regardless, I would not trade them for anything!!

Great boot. I compared to the Sidi's that were similar price. Alpinestars fit a lot better and were more comfortable. I have a wider foot and the Sidi’s did not fit my foot width wise. I wore them around the house for a couple of hours and that was all the break in they needed.

Great purchase
These are outstanding boots. They squeak when you walk around, but hey they are riding boots. Very comfortable fit and durable. They work for what they are designed. I highly recommend these boots to anyone.

Really great boot...zipper needs work
These boots are well worth the money. They do take some breaking in as they fit snug. I went a half size larger then my size and was glad I did. These are comfortable to walk in after they are broken in which is around 4 or 5 rides. My only complaint is the zipper uses to small of a tooth on it. The handle has the tendency to hang when you are zipping it up. Nothing has broke, but if you don't pay attention you can damage the darn thing. Other than that they good boots for the money.

Wiced Good Boot!
I’ve worn Sidi boots pretty well my entire riding life and bought these on a recommendation from two good friends who swear by them... Now nothing against the Sidi boots I’ve worn them over 6 years now because I like them but this S-MX Plus boot hands down in my opinion is much better. The boots feel broken in right out of the box, the comfort level in unreal. You feel very protected with them on and the peg and clutch feel is awesome! I feel like a direct extension of the bike. The only draw back is the tiny noise you sometimes here when walking but that’s really no biggie.
Boot run true to size.. I wear size 10 sneakers and the 10's fit me perfect.

Very disappointed
I thought that for $280.00 I'd get leather boots. Nope, tag inside reads: Synthetic upper, Synthetic liner, Synthetic sole. The zipper is hard to close. And the flap covering the zipper doesn't lay flat with the boot's outer surface.
These boots were going to be my start to an upgrade from Frank Thomas gear to Alpinestars. Not sure now.

nice
When I got my first bike my grandpa bought me a pair of Alpinestars smx boots. To this day I have five pairs. I love them they are the best boots for the money. Alpinestars have been my bottom line for riding gear for years. When my son can ride he will get a pair of smx boots of his own..

Alpinestars - S-MX Plus Racing Boots
My shoes are usually pretty snug for a 7.5, but these are a bit bigger than normal. Otherwise, boots have great safety features and are very easy to put on (like snowboarding boots).

S-MX Plus Racing Boot
I recently ordered a pair of these boots and just love them. They were a little tight initially, however after just two days they have started to conform to my feet. I like the internal lacing system and the buckle for the calves. I was a little nervous about ordering a man's boot, but the European sizing worked great. I guess I have Alpinestars feet since this is my second set of boots with no problems whatsoever with fit and quality of boot. You truly get great quality and finish!

nice
Very comfortable boots...It runs a little big. Not really sure if it's worth the money or not but they seem very durable and safe. No real complaints. I enjoy riding with the boots.

SMX Plus
Very solid boots. Takes a while to break-in. Up-shifting is a bit tricky before being broken in but no issue afterward. Gets quite comfortable once broken in, I can walk around in these for a whole day. Recommended.

These boots were the best for the price no doubt, and I tried many. The fit from foot to peg is perfect and the feel is great. They keep your feet from sweating and the weight is good for me. The protection is more than you'd expect and they just look SICK! Buy these boots!

SMX Boot
For riding boots, I'd say these are a definite go. You can walk around in them just fine, but you feel like you're walking in a soft version of ski boots. Topside is they're very protective, good looking, and are reasonably comfortable. They managed to keep my feet plenty warm in 40 degree riding weather but of course this means you'll be sweating a little in nice weather. I like them as an all around and safe riding boot.

SMX Plus Racing Boot Review
These boots are nice for sure. I just have found them quite stiff and I've had them for over a year. I wrecked on a track day on my bike and they took some scuffs but definitely protected my foot from a painful injury, based on what the scuffs looked like. After all this is probably the only reason for buying boots this bulky/expensive. As far as crash protection only, I give it a 5. Too big and bulky for riding around town. These give me greater confidence when I ride so I can go faster.

SMX Plus RacingBboot Review
The SMX plus racing boots are amazing... and well worth the investment,They are a bit stiff at first... and I do recomend if you're going to be off your bike for more than 10 minutes walking around you undo the top calf support. If you wear them around the house for a few days (recommned this as well) when you get on the bike you won't have any problems, it is also extremely hard to hop over the shift lever, You do have to slide your foot out from underneath and back over the top to downshift,
