Great video! How would you compare these boots to the SMX 6 V2 mens boots for everyday street and commute riding? I am thinking about the SMX 6 V2 but this looks like it might be more sleeker and better. Your thoughts would be helpful. Thanks
My thoughts are that this is quite a bit sportier than the SMX 6, and I would say they offer a bit more protection. The downside is they will be a bit more of a fiddle to get on as the SMX 6 are just a zip-Velcro-go and the SMX Plus have an internal lace, a zip and then the ratchet at the top, which can annoy impatient people. I hope that helps you reach a decision. Cheers, Tony
I've bought the Sidi ST Boots of yourselves and i went out in a ride in them and i just don't like how they feel. What's your thoughts between these boots and the Alpinestars Supertech R for how comfortable they are and size?
It's a couple of years since I wore a pair of either Supertech R or SMX Plus V2. I recall the Supertechs as being more comfortable, but I felt the SMX Plus were more reassuring in the way they wrapped around my feet. Feedback from customers suggests the Supertechs are more likely to require the customer to size up. With either model, if you're on the cusp of two sizes then I'd suggest starting with the larger of the two. Cheers, Tony

How do these fit?
Sizing seems pretty accurate. Reviewers suggest you may benefit from going up a size if you're on the cusp of two sizes. Cheers, Tony
