Alpinestars SMX-S Boots Item # 574007
Description
Borrowing heavily from the SMX-6, yet lighter on their feet, the SMX-S Boots are a stripped down street version of the perennially popular sport boot. Retained are the replaceable TPU sliders and the race-derived TPU shin plate, but eighty-sixed are the bio-mechanical ankle apparatus in favor of more comfortable TPR— making the SMX-S ideal for street riders seeking simplicity and all-day wearability.
Features:
- Durable microfiber upper construction offering superb levels of flexibility and comfort
- Ergonomic last for forefoot streamlining to enable greater control
- TPU shin plate protector is race-derived for superior impact and abrasion resistance
- Lateral TPR-injected ankle support construction offers optimized levels of protection and stability
- TPU double-density ankle protectors are layered under the upper in both lateral and medial sides
- Breathable textile interior lining features anti-sliding suede reinforcement on heel area
- Integrated, replaceable bi-injected TPU slider features easy no-screw fixing concept
- Shift pad made from TPU incorporates technical texture for protection and grip
- Medial side entry opening and closing system features elastic-mounted zipper with wide VELCRO® brand closure
- Internal toe box protection is layered under the upper for durability, improved feel and performance
- Dual compound removable anatomic footbed includes EVA and Lycra
- Compound rubber sole

Comfy, great look, saved my foot and ankle
Besides liking the boots overall and finding them comfy and good value, I must also say that they literally saved my feet and ankle.
After a 60km/h crash, being able to walk and not feeling any pain down there was a relief. Looking at the damage on the boots I can safely say that they did their job perfectly and I can still walk thanks to them. It's just very scary to think that all those scratches and scraped off plastic would have been my leg if I didn't have the boots.
Piece of advice; spend the extra money and buy and wear good boots.

Great boots
Got them this summer and I even wear them to go next door as they are so good and comfortable. I thought they would be soaking wet hot in the summer but they actually are quite cool. They are very flexible and light. I have big calves so the large velcros work very fine above the zipper. They are also confortable to walk on them when stopping and not riding. 5 star, worth the price and the Alpinestars quality.

Very comfortable
Very comfortable boot with good protection but not so stiff you can’t wear them around at the mall. I don’t really like all the Velcro over the zipper but it is good quality.

Great replacement
I bought these online to replace my old boots. Fit was perfect 1/2 sizes are brilliant. A little stiff for walking, but they are bike boots not hiking boots. Great support, Velcro fastens very well.

Questions
Can you please confirm if the SMX-S boots are waterproof?
No these ones are not. You would need to order the waterproof version here: https://fortnine.ca/en/alpinestars-smx-s-waterproof-boots

Hey there I’m in 13 US what size I should get first time getting boots
A size 48 is a US size 12.5 and a 49 is a US 13.5. Alpinestars boots usually come up a bit larger than other boots, so you should be okay with a size 48 here. However, if you are on the larger end of a size US 13, we would recommend going for the size 49.

If I usually 8.5 US size .. should I go with the 8 or the 9?
These fit on the larger side, we would recommend going with an 8.
