    Cool Which Should I Buy?

    Got some boot money from Progressive ($250). I've only owned one pair of motorcycle boots, my Sidi Streetburners. I like them a lot, but want a full boot this time around. Found these three in my price range. Thoughts?

    I've heard numerous good reviews on the Alpinestars boots.

    I'd go with A* if it's going to be a street boot but if it's track duty sidi. Either way all three are great boots, but please don't go try them on at a moto shop and turn around and buy online.

    A*. Comfortable (feel like a slipper) and tons of protection.

    Just not the SMX5...go for the SMX+.

    do you have fat feet?

    I have an ancient alpinestar smx-4 that I bought in 2006, and I still use them, but from the day I got it, there was space on the sides because it's for people with fat feet

    Re: Which Should I Buy?

    I have skinny feet....was leaning Sidi, cause I know how they fit already. Anyone experience either of those two?

    SMX+ is that much better than the 5?

    I'll double check the Sidis themselves when I get home, bu I'm usually a 13.

    Did you take that pic in your avatar?

    Bought these things. They look ridiculous for the price they're selling at: http://www.compacc.com/p/Gaerne-GP-1-Road-Race-Boots
