Alpinstar Tech 5 are Super comfortable, true to size. Great protection for the kind of riding I do (mild offroad) Brian is the Man when it comes to gear, he knows the right questions to ask and advises on what will work for you. Thanks for all your help Brian !
Atomic Moto was right on target. These are very nice boots. They have much more protection that my previous mx style boots and because of that I was worried that they were going to be too stiff. I just wore them around the house for a couple hours and was good to go. In fact I was able to shift better with these than my old broken in (and broken down) boots. Lots of internal padding also made the Tech 5s comfortable for all day riding. Spot on Atomic Moto!!!
It is so tight around the ankle it will leave a bruise. Maybe I’ve big ankle bones.
So far it has been difficult to contact Atomic in order to determine what my options are.
Great boots, comfortable right out of the box. Only thing I did strip out one side of one of the backing plates for the adjustable straps.
Fantastic gear without all the bulk and needless pockets....true freedom! Pants are a bit baggy for my skinny legs but they will be good for layering in cold weather. I love the tall size, I don't like my boots half exposed while on the bike. A legit 4 season kit if you add a mid-layer in cold weather. Atomic Moto, the only business on earth where the owner answers the phone when you call and helps you order.
Brian got me these boots in the enduro version. The size was perfect and the boot was comfortable right out of the box. 6 hours of riding and they felt great, looked good and have great protection. very nice boot.
