Alpinestars SMX Plus boots are legendary for blending track focus and road performance. Find out more...
Customers commend the Alpinestars boots for their outstanding quality, comfort, and durability. Many mention they opted for a size up for a perfect fit, appreciating the snug and secure feel. Despite a handful of initial tightness or fit issues, the boots were notably quick to break in, providing comfort both on and off the bike. The inner lace-up boot and the high level of protection received frequent praise. Overall, customers find them worth the investment and recommend them highly.
The fit and comfort are incredible, and the inner lace system secures the boot to your foot like no other. The protection is substantial all over, and the rear ratchet is easy to operate and feels secure. I wear these boots a lot, they're my go-to riding shoes and I never ride without them. When race-grade protection is this comfortable and convenient, it's an obvious choice over my Nikes or Vans.
In fact, thanks to the memory foam insoles, I'd even go so far as to say these are the most comfortable shoes I own.
One thing to bear in mind is to ignore the US size labels. I have the boots in Euro size 43, but according to Alpinestars, that's a US size 9, which is incorrect. SBS's conversion is quite accurate: 43 translates to a UK size 8.5, which is my size. If in doubt, go with the European sizing and you should be fine unless your feet are so wide that shopping for footwear of any type is problematic.
I had my last pair of alpinestars for about 10 years and never had an issue.
I tried a few different brands when looking for a new pair and went back to stars as they're so comfy!
Very disappointed with Alpinestars boots, had them no longer than 6 months, of course these are not worn everyday as I am not an all season rider. The zips on the side of the boots had broken completely. Cannot fault sports bike shop, sent them back and they have been repaired and sent back in no time at all. Not worn them since the repair so not sure how long they will last. Also have an Alpinestars jacket and the zip is going on that too! So from a brand I've loved to one I'm not 100% sure I will ever buy anything else!!
The boot gives me the best combination of comfort and protection, service from your Boston store was brilliant as always, top job!
Well if you want comfort then these Alpinestars boots are the best. So good straight out of the box. These are my second pair and the quality and fit are perfect.
Bought to replace 15 year old SMX Plus boot, these are as comfy as slippers even walking distance. Sportbikeshop price matched with a store I found online so that was over £100 saving. Delivered next day on the Friday, unfortunately too small contacted them and asked for a bigger size, they sent a return for them, posted them back at 11am on Friday, got a confirmation of the return then an hour later a confirmation the replacements were on the way even before they received the return, replacements arrived 10.30 Saturday morning. Service of the highest standard, that's why most of my gear is from them.
Look fantastic and fit nicely while giving an excellent range of movement
Make sure you try these on first if you can.
I'm a UK 9 - 9.5 and the 44 felt good but my heel lifted too easily when walking around the shop. Too big.
I ordered the 43 and they are perfect. They are very tight at first so you'll need to break them in.
I found the toe box restrictive initially but the boots have now moulded to the shape of my feet and feel very comfortable on and off bike.
Loads of protection and look good too.
I originally purchased these boots 18 months ago from SBS and wore them continuously when on one boot the zip had broken, popped them back under warranty and replaced with a new pair even though the price had increased by £100, therefore I can't be more pleased with my second pair as the comfort and feel while riding is excellent and well worth it . SBS are fantastic and so are these boots so fully recommend both the boots and the service received, personally I think the zipper was a one off but testament to SBS and their quality service and turnaround.
Thank you Zak and the customer support team
Instantly comfortable and yet protective boots, my first pair but love them, feel exceptional quality item
Well worth the money, really good quality and most comfortable boots I have had. Had the older ones and they lasted me 8 years riding everyday so brought again.
Boots are great and in my opinion better then the next level up that I had because my feet fit snugger and I prefer the feel . Sportsbikeshop .... excellent customer service is standard for these guys , my boots had a fault and was still in warranty. I got a full refund with great service , chose a new pair that may have been 6 weeks but turned up in 2 . I don't shop for bike stuff anywhere else because manners and politeness with the service is second to none .
Comfortable, Lovely looking and got it for
Great price :-)
Great fit, very comfortable and feel very safe.
Sbs service brilliant as usual
These are brilliant boots!
After reading other reviews, I ordered I size up of 48 from my usual Alpinestars of 47, and the fit is just right and snug!
Colours are much more vibrant in real rather than the pictures, so look even better!
I know these are expensive and having a bit of a wait at the moment, but are worth it!
Does take a little bit of getting used to with the fixed inner lace up boot, but you get the hang of it pretty quick!
These are some very good looking boots and you can tell from just looking at them that they are made to a very high quality. The boots provide a very comfortable fit and offer a extraordinary amount of protection. If you are willing to spend the money to protect your feet and lower legs then I can highly recommend these boots.
Started riding again and got myself the trusty SMX plus boots i loved from back then. Comfortable and packed with the features you want and need when riding sports bikes. Thanks for the prompt delivery!
First time splashing out on boots. Glad I did, the inner boot makes it feel much less like you're wearing a bulky boot. The build quality is obviously great being alpinestars
