It is recommended one size smaller for these boots, I found this accurate. 200.00 DESCRIPTION Widely regarded as the best sportbike boot on the planet, the Alpinestars Supertech R Boots have evolved in to the most comfortable and safe performance boot money can buy. Part of keeping you safe is keeping you comfortable, and Alpinestars has you covered. This iteration of the Supertech R has improved ventilation and ergonomics, while still being one of the safest boots anywhere. Alpinestars is well known for great design, and this boot continues that tradition. The bio-mechanical ankle brace aids the outer structure in forming an advanced protective system that promotes full and free movement of the foot, ankle and leg. They combined this with shin protection designed not only for great ventilation, but to spread and dissipate any impact across the entire surface. They managed to do all of this while remaining light weight, compact, and well ventilated. Truly a great boot, and we've got it for you at an unbeatable price!
