Amazing race boots
Amazing quality boots, very grippy soles. Remember to put your suit over top of the inner booties, then the outer boot on top. Also order a size DOWN 100%. Eg. If you normally wear 43 euro then order a 42 in the supertech.

Super comfy
Just did one track day with these so far but love the fit, really like the removable insert as well. The ventilation is really good also, excellent on super warm track days.

Comfy boots
Haven't ridden with these yet but they feel great on my feet. Top notch construction and looks. I wear a US 12 in everything so I went with a euro 46 after hearing these run big, which comes in at an 11.5 US. with my riding socks on I have about 1/4 inch or so toe space in the end of the boot and a snug fit everywhere else, which is just my style. If you prefer being able to feel the toe box then go a full size down.

Bought this boot in Canada , so if you buy it it go one size bigger and they fit like a glove, cause they are Europe sizes. Haven't used them on the track yet , and I hope I will never need them in a crash !!!!

15/10 EASILY
Purchased these as a new rider after trying to Sidi Mag 1 shoes and not loving them. The Supertech R boots are far superior, but with a few notes.
As the shoe contains an inner shoe with the rigid armor and then the outer boot with the leather, they make your feet longer and this will impact your feel on the pegs. The heel is taller than a normal shoe, and the sole is stiff, all of this means your thighs will be a little more tight/higher when sitting with the balls of your feet or sometimes, lazy heels, on the pegs.
The fit is spot on, not big or small, to size. The inner boot contains stretchy fabric you sinch up when putting them on, so wide or narrow feet should all fit. If you have really thick calves, you might need some strength to close the outside boot until worn in.
They fit fine with jeans, suit or sweatpants if you are buying them for your IG clout.
They are however very HOT. Vented, sure, but on a 30c day in Vancouver if I wasn't moving my feet were an absolute sweat bath. The heat radiating up my legs and acting as a heater for the inner thigh and chaps. Absolute FURNACE, but, they are not meant for sitting in Earls patios or a stroll on the beach, my callout here is please consider some light and breathable socks with them. The shoes are comfy, the liner and heel offer good comfort considering it's a racing boot, but wear some thin socks or pay the price.
If you want comfort, look at the "Faster 4" boots. Those can be used every day. If you want maximum protection and a shoe you can take to the track, the twisty's or post on your IG, this is it.
Please note, took about 20 hours of wear for them to feel comfortable. 40 hours in they feel good now, but still stiff.

Awesome boots
Awesome boots, but they fit huge, after much research I bought size eu44(us9.5) and they fit my size us10.5 feet perfect. with the vented version I was worried my feet would freeze on cooler days but they've been fine. Would definitely buy the vented over the normal ones again.

Best boots in my opinion
Had a pretty bad crash in August 2024. Dislocated my hip and broke my tibia bone right under my knee. Ankle would have been broken or worse if I didn’t have these boots. I also had a full one piece alpinestar suit on which helped a lot also.
Hands down worth it!! Also boots are still like new after the crash.
