[visordown.com] - New Alpinestars SMX 6 boots
I get through boots at an alarming rate and because they're white (the only colour you'd buy if you weren't buying them) they look tired and dirty after only a few weeks. Instead of opting for Alpinestars' top-of-the-range Supertech Rs (which are the only boots I've worn for the last 7 years as they're awesome), I'm trying out these new S-MX 6 boots in the much more commuter friendly colours of Black & Red. The S-MX 6 come in at around £180, a good £100 less than the Supertech Rs. They don't have the inner/outer boot of the Supertech R but they do offer a similar level of protection, with important bits like the heel-guard, ankle-torsion bar, re-enforced toe area and decent thick sole. I'll let you know how I get on with them, meantime here's the Alpinestars garb: * Main upper material constructed from advanced microfiber for durability and repeated abrasion resistance. * Ergonomic new last for forefoot streamlining to enable greater control of the bike’s controls and for superior, wide-ranging foot profile, fit and comfort. * Alpinestars’ innovative TPU lateral ankle brace protection provides a biomechanical support between lateral top calf/shin and ankle and offers improved structural integrity, protection against impact shocks, repeated abrasion resistance and flex support. * Alpinestars’ new and exclusive compound rubber sole promotes improved feel and grip, water dispersion and durability. * Air vents on the heel counter and shin plate plus breathable mesh inserts (vented version only) improve comfort and reduce fatigue on short and long rides. * High modulus TPU injected shin guard, calf protector, heel counter, shift pad and toe slider for improved shock protection and durability. * Double density ankle protector on medial side layered under the upper offers protective performance in key area. * Integrated, replaceable bi-injected TPU slider features new easy screw fixing concept for quicker and easier replacement. * Innovative instep and Achilles accordion flex zone construction for superior comfort, extension, control and support. * Internal insole with the shank reinforcement integrated for added support to the arch area and foot protection. * Medial side entry opening/closure system features elastic-mounted zipper with wide Velcro® closure for flexibility and secure fit. The aperture opening is large to promote easier in/out. * Internal toe box protection is layered under the upper for durability, improved feel and performance. * Breathable textile interior lining features anti-sliding suede reinforcement on heel area help keep foot in position while riding. * New, dual compound removable anatomic footbed includes EVA and Lycra for performance, comfort and support. * The S-MX 6 boot is CE certified.
