Muito boa a tech 3 é a minha quarta que compro. Melhor custo beneficio, as minhas duram mais de 3 anos.

La talla mal tallan súper grandes y la calidad no se ve buena, las devolví

I purchased these at a nice entry price point. I don’t ride hard enough for $300+++ boots and top tier gear. However, I wanted a high quality boot around $100-$150 that had high reviews. Also, that would fit a larger persons build (calves & wider 56 year old feet).(Note: I am wearing them around the house and have been for over an hour now. I will update after a few rides to give additional perspective).These boots were exactly what I was hoping for. First, Alpinestars are a legendary brand and they don’t make junk. These may be entry level boots, but for my riding style and aggression, perfect. Also, I have larger calves. I’m 5’10” and 270lbs. Plus my feet have flattened over time. (Yeah, you young bucks just wait and see, it’s coming for you also). The top latch clip had plenty of room for my calves. In fact, even more room than I needed by an inch or 2. This also leaves some room for tucked in shin guards depending on how think yours are. The foot bed is wide enough where it is comfortable but probably ideal for a thinner foot. If you wear a “wide” it will likely work for you. If you wear a double wide? Unlikely. A special note on the arch support. It is high and very firm. More firm than I prefer. Painful, no. Just not as comfortable as the rest of the boot.The overall comfort I would rate as an “A-.” For the price and quality, it’s a huge win for the customer. The fit..? I wear a 10.5 Wide in normal shoes. Using the size chart, I purchased a size 11 and the fit true to the size chart and exactly what I needed.The color selections are fantastic. I chose the red white and blue. ‘Merica baby..!” But there were others I really liked. If I could have a perfect color combo? A tactical black, greys, and white “stealth” looking boot would be outstanding.The flex forward is minimal but enough to give you room to move/shift. The material is rigid all the way around except for a couple compression points for mobility. Riding through the bush? NOTHING is getting through these. Zero. I got the slicker sole due to them being on sale more than the lugged sole. For my duel sport riding, that “may” come back to haunt me. Not Alpinstars fault, but rather my paycheck. The material the sole is made of is a firm but grippy rubber material. Dare I say hard? And make no mistake, there is a serious lug that runs down the center of the boot sole for added safety and rigidity.They are surprisingly cool after wearing for the past hour or so. They are waterproof and wind proof. However, the toe box doesn’t seem to be well insulated for the colder weather riders out there. Insulated/heated socks would help. And yes, there is room for those thicker socks. The top of the boot sits about 6” from the top of my kneecap.What else can I say about these boots? So far, they have exceeded my expectations and high hopes. Again, I will update after a few rides and/or if any future fails.

Great product and true to size.I wear size 7 woman’s and I got a 6 in mens and it’s the perfect fitting with the right amount of wiggle room. Firm product and great fitting, very comfortable
