tech-3 boots
These boots worked great for me. They are comfortable and don't give me any pain. Most boots, hockey skates and rollerblades always cause a lot of pain and I am not able to wear them very long. Tc-3s broke in quickly and feel really good when they warm up. I was surprised!

So far, so good
Got these boots in yesterday. Ordered them on Thursday with just regular ground shipping. No hitch there. Pulled them out of the box and tried them on. They fit great, but the buckles were a little hard to snap into place the first couple times. Good adjustability on the straps, though. Walked around the house and outside for about 5-10 minutes, then went for a ride around the block. Missed several shifts due to stiffness because I couldn't feel the shifter and couldn't get on/beneath the shifter, but they aren't quite broken in just yet. I did notice after one ride, though, that they are starting to break in, which is a good thing. Seems like it won't take long to get them where I want to to be. These boots look sweet and fit like a glove. I have no doubt that they will be perfect after a few short hours of wearing them around the house.

Best sub $200 boot... and GREAT customer service!
I think I've written less than three reviews in my life but after my experience with Astar's customer support I just had to. First, I like the boots. I'd tried on ~6-8 sub $200 boots and these were simply the most comfortable boot by a long shot. There are plenty of others saying the same thing but I figured I'd add that I was very impressed with their customer support. I emailed Astar on a whim asking if I can buy a replacement anchor part. To my surprise, they just shipped me 4 sets of anchors, bolts and nuts free of charge and in just a few days shipping. Wow... made me a very, very happy customer.

great boots.
Awesome boots at a great price. I usually wear an 8.5 to 9 shoe and I heard the boots are made a half size larger so I got size 8 and they are perfect. Buy them and enjoy. Happy riding.

Alpinestars - tech 3 boots
I returned these boots. I was a size 11/11.5. The boot size fit nicely. However, there was not enough adjustment to cinch them tight enough around my ankles and calves. In addition, they were a lot more rigid then I was looking for. I ordered SIDI Discovery as a replacement for Dual Sport riding.

Awesome boots
I just purchased these boots and I really like everything about them, the style, fit, and effectiveness. Breaking them in was pretty easy, I just wore them around the house for a while and after one ride they are great. I really like the grippy sole and the fit around my shin pads and pants. These boots look great and are at a great price.

Great Entry Model Boot
Was looking for a boot to use for commuting to work on my DRz-400 Super Moto. After reading reviews and comparing pricing this was the winner. The boots arrived early and looked awesome. Break in, even riding street, was like 10 hours. Straps and buckles seem to be well constructed but I could definitely see if someone liked their boots really tight how they could break. Only complaint is water will soak through the seams. For the weekend warrior riding on a budget Tech 3's are definitely highly recommended.

Tech 3 Boots
I did considerable research before buying this product. It is an excellent value in which I am expecting many years of service.

Tech 3 Boots
These boots are excellent. I broke them in after 4 hours of riding. Great pedal and shifter feel. Very lightweight for such a highly rated safety boot.

Light weight and comfortable
Once you break them in they are great boots for the price. Stylish looking and durable. If they are not broken in you will miss shifts. It doesn't take long to break them in though. Great boot!

New Tech 3
I bought these for my son's practice boots and he like's them better than his race boots. They were also half the money!

My wife bought these boots for me for a gift and I thought they looked great. I was concerned that they didn't look flexible or comfortable (and might be just for show) but when I put them on they were surprisingly comfy and lightweight. So much so in fact I didn't take them off after I finished riding.

great boots great price
I just bought these boots, they are cool looking and comfy. I haven't gone riding in them yet but they will probably be great. My last pair of boots Thor Quadrants were petty nice but they had buckles that broke after about ten rides. But these new cheap tech 3AT's are way better for about the same price. Another bad thing about the Quadrants is some times I kept missing shift's because I couldn’t pull the lever that well, that’s why I recommend these.

Tech # boots
A great boot for the money; very comfortable and lightweight. I’ve only worn them five times and right toe is worn out from hitting footpeg during kick starts(sole is torn up) other than that its a great boot!!

great boot, esp for the money
I had tried on several cheaper sub $200 pairs of boots, but these felt better than everything for the money. 3 hours of wearing around the house and they are totally broken-in and doing their duty well. Good construction (mostly plastic) and a good price = a best seller for Astars. They have done it again!

new tech 3s
I've owned a couple pairs of pricey boots (Tech 8s and Sidi's) but these new Tech 3s are a great boot for the money. The buckles are very easy to use and boot gives the support you need without being too stiff. The soles have no signs of wear after three good rides. I wore them around the house a few nights before taking them to the races and I did not have one problem with shifting or feeling the rear brake. This boot is a no brainer. Also, I love that there isn't a stupid booty in the boot.
