Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars SMX-6 V3 Drystar Boots
Lovely
24 Apr 2026 by John M
True to size (I'm a 43 in everything else). A little tight initially but soon broken in. comfy and good looking. squeak a little but that's only in the cafe so don't care :) Strangely for the UK I've not had to test the drystar yet !!! - I'm not expecting issues as it's the same technology as my Tech 7 enduro boots and they're dry as in the rain so all in all ... a cracking pair of boots.

Comfortable immediately

My last Alpinestars lasted more than 10 excellent years and so it was a no brainer to go for these. Just did a 7 day trip across France, and they were comfortable from the off. Feet stayed warm & totally dry in the rain. Look bulky but aren't actually. Easy side entry with quality zip and super strong velcro. Look awesome too! I'm confident these will last years.

Good as the last pair.

My old SMX's were split after well over 10 years of mainly summer use so time to treat myself with a new pair. These SMX6 V3 drystars looked similar and fit even better than the last pair. Difficult to get on/off to start with but very comfy when on and could keep them on all day no problem. Like most boots, a little time wearing them in will soften them and become perfect, comfy and solid boot. They come up just about true to size (maybe go up half a size). I am a nine and half and the 45 (10) was fine. Not tested in the rain yet but suspect will not be a problem. Overall very happy and would recommend to anyone.

Great looking boot

My last pair of alpine stars smx boots fell a part after 20 years so replaced with new. Still fit the same and the quality looks great. I went in store first and tried some other options and alpinestars still feel and look the best. Can't say how well they will last but can't see why they won't based on looks.

Great boots

Bit tight to get on and off but once they’re on they feel great, nice and comfy and kept my feet warm and dry in a recent downpour. And they look good on a shelve too!

Have had many Alpinestars boots over the years and all have been great, these are no different, comfy, snug , waterproof and not too bulky. I can wear these under jeans (bullit and Pmj jeans) all day comfy. Great feel and very reassuring when on.

Waterproof Boots
08 Nov 2024 by Russell M
Great service as always from Sportsbikeshop staff. Required a waterproof boot as having to do more wet weather riding. Already have similar Alpinestars boots which have been comfortable and excellent. Yet to try in heavy rain but expecting them to be equally comfortable with added bonus of keeping my feet dry.
