What race boots to get?

See my post #4. I'm a 9.5 usually (sometimes 10 in Nike). My supertechs are 42/8, my SMX+ (and my A* Toucans) are 43/9. FYI, my Sidi Vortice, Sidi Adventures, and Oxtar TCX Evo's were also all 43/9.

So it seems about a half size down on the SMX boots. Thanks.

Crap. That's not what I wanted to hear. Unfortunately there aren't many or any places around me that stock A* boots to try on. It's gonna have to be online. Hopefully someone with SMX6s can let me know how theirs fit.

Do you have a Cycle Gear anywhere near you? They "might" have some of the Alpinestar boots in stock to try on.

I do but last time I was there they didn't.

I have got a pair of SMX boots like new size 43 / 9 for 100$ plus shipping if anyone wants them . Give me a shout if interested

I ruined my Sidi Vertigo Corsa boots last year in a crash, but my feet were OK. I replaced them with a pair of Sidi Vortice, which I have not used yet. I have pretty wide feet, but have never been uncomfortable in the Sidi boots.

A* sizing is funny..one of the few brands i would never order online..or at least without trying a pair on. I have a pair of Super TechR in size 8 that fit me perfectly...my foot measures a 9.5 I also have a pair of A* Tech 8 lights and Tech 10 offroad boots, and both of those are size 10 and fit snug with a thick pair of MX sox on

I just bought a pair of SMX Plus at the Cycle Gear in Warwick based on the recommendations here. They had three pairs in stock, the largest of which were 45/10.5. I normally wear 11 - 13 footwear depending on the fit and style.

These fit me quite well but on the snug side and I am expecting them to open up a bit as I break them in.
