Alpinstar Tech 5 are Super comfortable, true to size. Great protection for the kind of riding I do (mild offroad) Brian is the Man when it comes to gear, he knows the right questions to ask and advises on what will work for you. Thanks for all your help Brian !
Atomic Moto was right on target. These are very nice boots. They have much more protection that my previous mx style boots and because of that I was worried that they were going to be too stiff. I just wore them around the house for a couple hours and was good to go. In fact I was able to shift better with these than my old broken in (and broken down) boots. Lots of internal padding also made the Tech 5s comfortable for all day riding. Spot on Atomic Moto!!!
Its still too early to get out on the bike here in New England but i can review the fit and quality of the boots. I was concerned about the sole being too smooth for adv riding but i don't expect any problems now that i have seen them in person and had the boots on. I have wide feet and i find them comfortable;
I normally wear 10 EE so after discussing with Brian we landed on a 45 which was great as it was slightly big on me and allowed me to get better insoles to get the fit just right. The quality of the boot is first rate and I can't say enough about the buying experience. Brian returned emails quickly and we talked on the phone twice. He took the time to ask about what i rode, where i rode etc and suggested several boots that i was able to research and consider before i made the decision to purchase the X-Power boots. I'll definitely be buying from Atomic Moto in the future!
Love them; need size 10, ordered 9; run slightly smaller. Was told I couldn’t return them, but not sure why…
Boots are awesome. Confidence inspiring. It is taking some adjustment for shifting and rear braking but not a big deal. Taking a bit for break-in but better every time I put them on. Brian’s advice was spot for me. I am no pro but with these boots I feel much more connected to the bike! Best price I found and arrive on time as promised.
I bought these boots because they are real leather with a stitched on sole . I bought them from atomic moto because I bought a set from them several years ago and had a good experience. With this pair Brian really work with me over the phone with photos and video of my foot . In an effort to get the correct size the first time. From just trying these on he did it. I'd like to ride with them but that just has not happened yet. They look great and feel good walking around the house.
It was a pleasure purchasing these from Atomic moto. Great boots, great advice and great price.
