The fit is great. The finish is ok but, for the price I can live with that. The durability I cannot comment on because this is my first pair of this brand. Features I liked were the velcro closures. All over the price was very cost effective. I would recommend these boots for anyone looking for a nice comfortable pair of boots at a great price.

Alpinestars - Ridge Waterproof Boots (Motorcycle boots)
Great boots. Velcro closure and zipper could be a little longer though.

good boots
These boots will keep your feet dry, and warm. I would not wear these boots for walking, they are pretty stiff. I have a sport bike; this riding position requires more flexibility in the ankles. These boots don't have that.

Low-key, high-performance boots
I like that these are very low key, yet very sophisticated bike boots. The fit is PERFECT (how many other boots have half-sizes?). Only 600 miles on mine, so I can't speak to durability, but they act like they'll last. Stiff and protective, but I still spent an afternoon walking around a street festival with no discomfort. Easy on and off, but plenty of velcro to make the fit as tight as you might like, or loosen them up when walking or in the heat.

Great Boots
This is my 3rd pair of these excellent waterproof boots. Sizing is a little off; I always order a size too large for proper fit. The soles wear out early as far as I am concerned, but for the price they are great.

Easy to walk in. Very comfortable. Look great and I like the how low the boot is. My leather's just touch. Great price.

Alpinestars Ridge boots
These are pretty nice boots! They're waterproof, but a little wet can creep in from the top unless your pant legs are super long- these aren’t the tall kind of boots. If the bottoms of your legs are especially large you may have trouble getting the flaps to fully velcro shut. These boots seem to be true to size- I'm a 13 and mine fit fine. I was a little off put by how stiff they were when I first put them on, but they're softening up just fine, still, I doubt they'll ever be my first choice of footwear if I’m not riding, but they're not bad. Seemed like there was a lot of room in the heel area so I stuck in some cushions. I'm rambling...This wasn't my first purchase from Superstore and won't be my last.

Never bought something like this on internet! Very hesitant!! To my surprise everything went very well! Very happy with the boots!! I am a 10.5 and they fit perfect! Very light, easy to get on and off! Not sure about water yet, I haven't been in constant rain. Great boots for the $.

Decent Boots
I got these a few weeks ago and am pretty pleased with them. Construction is top notch and they feel very sturdy. They are comfortable on the bike as well as for walking around. The toe area is a bit boxy but that makes for a roomy boot if you have wide feet. The closure system is a little different, there's a half length zip on the inside with a Velcro cover and a velcro tab on the outside that lets you snug up the fit on the foot. The upper leather half is actually split on the inside and outside with Velcro attachments on both sides so you can open the boots up quite a bit for getting them on and off. The water proof liner, which isn't split, kind of folds up when you close the upper half - clever but a bit odd until you get used to it.

Well Made, but Stiff
These boots seem to be well made, however they are a bit on the stiff side. Also the toe is a bit thick for bikes with a small shifter. I returned mine with no hassles.

Good Everyday Boot
This is a comfortable and good-fitting boot. After a brief breaking in it is comfortable enough to walk around in for hours if needed. Acceptably good-looking, waterproof and easy to get in and out of. I commute everyday on my bike and the boot seems to be holding up pretty good so far. Good support without being too stiff. The soles are good at stops also. Recommended apparel.

Half Sizes
My last pair of boots came only in full sizes, so the 7.5 worked out well with these Alpinestars. I noticed there was no reinforcement on the shifter toe. As is par for the course, there is an uncomfortable break-in period, but it's getting there. The zipper does not seem very long, the rest being velcro flaps on either side of the boot. Sometimes I wonder why they bothered, but even a short zipper beats none. I think they're a nice looking pair of boots, but will need more time to see how comfortable they become as they age. So far, things are looking up.

Excellent-Alpinestars - Ridge Waterproof Boots
I love these boots! They fit very well, are adjustable, waterproof, comfortable and look great too. They are a bit stiff when new so you can leave the top less snug until you break them in. Then you can adjust them tighter as the tops get softer. I have no trouble with a toe-shifter. I have floor boards on my bike and the boots are real comfy on that. I never rode with foot pegs so I don't know about that. The only thing is you might not want to wear these boots all day long because they are waterproof keep some dry socks on hand because the sweat from your feet will build up. Oh yeah, my feet are always toasty in these boots even on cold days.

Thick ankles
These boots fit well, but the velcro closures on both sides made the ankles really bulky and stiff. I returned them.

Ridge Waterproof Boots
I bought these boots for commuting. They fit true to size - I have 12.5 feet and always have to buy 13's - they advertised a 12.5 and it fit just right. 500 miles and two rainstorms later they are what I was looking for. Took about a week to break in - not bad. Still a little stiff due to the way the outer closure works but I want the protection and am willing to live with the stiffness. I don't use the zipper side, just loosen the leather strap and un-velcro the outer flap and that easily allows me to slide my foot in and out. Well built with good features for the money.

Alpinestars Ridge Waterproof boots
For the low cost, these boots will be worth every penny. They don't feel like you are wearing clogs. I've washed mine off in the shower using a hand-held showerhead, so I know they don't leak. There is absolutely no way water can get in except from the top. So if you wear overpants that are waterproof as well with them over the boots, no water will get in. I also own the generation of Ridge boot from a few years back. This model is an improvement. If you're looking for a sturdy, waterproof boot that won't break the bank, look no further.

Great boots -- Great Price
These boots came recommended to me by a biker friend. I had a lot of trouble finding a good pair of boots to use with my FZ1. I liked these because they weren't too tall. The taller boots are uncomfortable on the shins. These boots are fine for California winters, I haven't gotten them wet yet. It doesn't rain much here. They seem pretty warm in cool weather and hot in warm weather. The started off a bit stiff but loosened up a bit after a little use. A good buy.

Excellent boots
I've had them for several weeks, and they have been great! Took several days to break in, of course. Sizing seems to be right on...I was concerned about them being too small, so I ordered 1/2 size larger but shouldn't have. Not great for all-day wear, but I keep a pair of tennis shoes at work, and just change into them. They are wearing pretty good, but the left one is scuffed on the inside where is rubs against the bike when I shift. Easy on/off, especially with the adjustable strap. I am no longer concerned about soaking my shoes in a rain storm, but haven't had any major rain since I got them.

worth it
This boot is a great riding boot, comfortable and well made your feet. Will stay dry in wet weather if you have waterproof pants on otherwise the rain will eventually run down your leg into your boot. The only downside to the boot is it doesn’t breathe and your feet do get a bit hot in hot weather. Other than that will definitely buy another pair.
