ALPINESTARS SUPERTECH R
My very first pair of boots were Alpinestars SMX plus, back in 2003. They were second-hand, but they were awesome and I've still got them. As great as they were, they appear farcical when compared to the same brand's latest top-spec option, the Supertech R. A lot can happen in 20 years, especially so whenimproved mesh venting. While not every sports boot has an inner booty, I really like the feature, especially because it means you can whip the inner out and chuck it in the wash if your feet have had a bit of a sweat on. The inner shoe is actually where you'll find much of the protection on the Supertech Rs, including sturdy polycarbonate molded supports that reduce lateral movement in the event of an accident. In my opinion, the boots allows for just enough range, leaving you feeling safe at the same time. As safe as they are, there's also a major focus on comfort; these are super comfy, really easy to slide on, and the drawstring adjuster means you can custom-fit the booty to your foot and shin area.
