Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Alpinestars Sektor Vented Shoes - Black - Size 6 by Brian Barnes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The boots are real.

I received them 2 days before I left for a week long trip with Dragon Tail. Based on the reviews I bought a size 10 as I usually wear a size 9.5 with Adidas. The fit was perfect. I have never owned a motorcycle boot so I can be spoiled for their comfort. They are incredibly light. The outsole provides enough stiffness to accommodate foot fatigue after 6 hours of hard sport biking (thin footpegs, always on the balls of your feet for any vigorous ride), but enough flexibility to take a short walk in the woods when needed. They provide enough airflow to never think "my feet are hot". Luckily I didn't have to test them for shock resistance, but I fell with the sneakers on and would definitely have loved to have worn them at the time. Reasonably good ankle protection and durable outer foot protection means you have less to worry about. They absolutely make my travels more enjoyable. When in doubt, pull the trigger, step up a half size, and thank me later.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • old
