Alpinestars Sektor Vented Shoes - Black - 6

These boots are what I thought “perfect”, they are super comfortable, light, your feet don’t get hot in Texas summer weather, however, the main reason we buy motorcycle riding boots is for protection in case of an accident. In my case, the boots didn’t protect my feet at all, I ended having one of the pega puncture right through the boot and my foot to the point that I lost two toes because they got dismembered. The other boot got ripped all over as well in the accident and had three fractures in the metatarsal bones.

I wear size 9 in Nike, New Balance, etc. I bought size 9 on these worrying about the fit. It is actually great.They look just like normal shoes so you could wear them to any places you want without attracting too many attentions.Ventilation is great. However, it is a little bit of slippery when I walk on ceramic floors. Not a big deal. I keep another pair of daily shoes in my office so I can switch to those when I arrive.One thing to keep in mind if your feet is wide, these are narrow.

Caveat emptor: Check the EU sizing and not the US sizing. I wear US 11 shoes/running shoes/boots, but that's EU45. Alpinestars for some reason has to be different, so their US11 is EU44, and US11.5 is EU45. I had issues with their sizing of Supertech R in the past as well.The vented material feels high quality, but a lot of the outer surfaces were rubbed due to shifting in the box repeatedly. The soles are very stiff (which is typical of motorcycle shoes/boots) and the laces can get uncomfortable when tucked.

I bought these as my first motorcycle shoes & I love them.Positives:- Fits my foot comfortably; I wear these all day whenever I ride to work. I work in a relaxed office setting.- I love the way they look; I've even worn them with black slacks & a polo and they don't stand out as not matching or anything.- The quality of the shoes feel great; they seem to be pretty protective & yet I still feel in-touch with like the bike shifter lever.Negatives:- Nothing stood out; everything seems to function on it as it should.Notes:- I am normally a size 9ish but I have wide feet so I bought the size 10. It fits me great!- The outsole of the shoe is a little narrower than the rest of the shoe which resulted in me almost twisting my ankle, but thankfully the high-top design of the shoe kept my whole foot together & prevented this.I would definitely recommend this shoe to everyone.

As others commented, this motorcycle shoe is narrow. Of course I was hoping for a different result. I typically wear a 10.5D, so ordered an 11. Tried them on and am returning them. They are very narrow; reminds me of a ballet shoe. I took a photo of one next to my current MC shoes as comparison, but looks like the "add photo" option is gone. These shoes might fit some women's feet, though.

I had these delivered 2 days before leaving on a week long riding trip to Tail of the Dragon. Based on reviews, I bought a size 10, as I normally wear a size 9.5 in Adidas. The fit was perfect. I’ve never owned a motorcycle shoe before, so I may be spoiled by the comfort of these. They’re incredibly lightweight. The sole offers enough stiffness to reduce peg foot fatigue to nothing after 6 hours of hard riding a sportbike (skinny pegs, always on the balls of feet when riding any bit spiritedly), but enough flexibilty to take a quick jaunt into the woods should you need to. They offer enough airflow to never think “my feet are hot”. Luckily, I’ve not had to test the crashability of them, but I’ve crashed in sneakers, and I def wish I woulda been wearing these at the time. Good enough ankle protection, and solid outer foot armor provides one less thing to worry over. They absolutely make my rides more enjoyable. If you’re on the fence, pull the trigger, size up a half size, and thank me later.

I wasn’t sure if they’d fit. I usually wear a 6.5/7 in women shoes and got a 6 in these .. they are a little bit too big but not enough for me to return them. They are stiffer then a normal shoe of course which might get some getting used to but definitely not too bad. I overall like them and am glad I got them.

Great looking boots. The only negative I can think of is that they are slightly tighter than I expected since I read that they run true to size. I solved the problem by wearing "dress" socks. If you want to wear thicker socks (like sweat socks) then consider getting a half size larger maybe.

Had to return because too small, but it’s a nice shoe, defiantly order a size up

Very good shoes and build quality. I was mainly looking for a shoe that didn't look like a motorcycle shoe and one I could wear casually. These are far the bet ones that I have tried.

Nice vented shoe. Great on hawt days.Not for wide feet. I'd probably should have got a half size up but still happy with the shoes.

Had the waterproof version of the shoe and wanted the perforated for the hotter weather, very good shoe, came quickly. Good seller.

Customer service not so good.Charged for return even though I purchased a replacement pair.
