Boots

I have Alpinestar feet and an Arai head. I have tried other brands and regardless of price these brands fit me best. There are all kinds of opinions but you need to find out what fits your feet the best.

This is sound advice.

Feet come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, as do boots. Even from the same manufacturer, different models can have different fit characteristics. For example, the SIDI SRS are much narrower in the toe box than their plain jane soles.

I had Gaerne Fastbacks and SG10's and they both tore skin off the front of my ankle! I still have scars! I then bought TCX 2.1 Pro's and they have been great! After 3 years they are holding up very well, except they need new soles as my brake pedal is chewing them up on the right boot. I ordered new soles, about $30, still waiting for them. I bought a new pair to have as backups I liked them so much!
