Alpinestars S-MX Plus Racing Boots Review

[bikertyp]

Hello mate...can you show the boots ?? I love them when they are used and worn a lot..And I like the squeaking sounds...trying to get a well used pair here but they are hard to find :)

[YarekBalear]

Hahaha, can't believe you put the 'cooch cake' joke in the prequel, lmao!

If you spray some windex behind the plastic hinge it will temporarily remove the squeaking. They squeak because that joint is plastic on plastic, so adding some lubrication in there gets rid of it. Also, the 2011 model SMX Pluses don't squeak =)

@intdawg good info thanks :)!

So I'll be getting my first bike next year so I have a lot of time to think about things like this but I'm planning to get the helmet, gloves, boots but do you recommend leather motorcycle pants or would jeans be fine?

[YarekBalear]

@melonade97 I'm a year ahead of you - passed my test this year and getting a big bike next year so looking at the same kinda stuff. Jeans are ok for bimbling around town to go to the shops but if you're doing any kind of quicker runs or longer rides I'd go for leathers all the way. Much better protection, even though kevlar jeans are better than normal jeans they don't protect you nearly as much. Depends on how much you value your skin.

My boots squeak! Well, squeaked, till i got new ones, my squeaky ones were TCX Competizone boots :D Now i got some Gaerne boots, some slight squeak from the ankle when im sat down, otherwise, no squeak :(

[azwakko]

The squeaking is from the ankle brace and a good sign the boot is still rigid and protecting your ankles. So when is the check from alpinestars coming your way.

[rebelyell91]

@azwakko Lol good point buddy. and I wish! :P

[kennyraceboy]

I like alpinestars, good quality but they can be very expensive. My Sidi Adventures squeak too, which is quite annoying.

[rebelyell91]

@kennyraceboy you have Sidi Adventures? sweet :) and bummer that they squeek too... the joys of motorcycle gear..

I have the SMX plus also. My sizing is perfect. But they are still noisy for walking. They grab every ones attention with the squeekyness. Not necessarily a bad thing. I have them in RED. I think it's just the model of the boot. The model down is not as squeeky. That model I use for everyday use. The SMX plus I use for the canyons. Non conventional reviews are good. I try to do "insight" type reviews.

[rebelyell91]

@Itsreload yeah they are quite squeeky for me too (like I said in the video). Thanks for the awesome comment buddy.

[bakker46]

You are right about sticking to a brand , once you have a good experience with a brand why switch...

[rebelyell91]

@bakker46 Exactly. :)

[emptym01]

[rebelyell91]

@emptym01 amen :)

[rynoride]

@emptym01 lol

[MuzzleMike]

PLEASE DO NOT DO THE PANTS !!! Riding boots are not made to walk in so if the make noise when you walk in them everyone knows you are there . I have 2 pars of shoes that makes noise when I walk in them and I love the looks . Good Video RICE MAN . You left your saying out ! EAT RICE !

[rebelyell91]

@MuzzleMike :) thanks for the comment, and you don't want the pants review? lol I may not put it up depending on how crappy the video is :P

[alukardFE]

here is what i think how about you review stuff and show it ??just and idea

[rebelyell91]

@alukardFE good idea :) traditional, you like.

[MetalHeadKLR650]

I like their stuff, but I can't afford it, therefore I deem it..unafforadagayble. :P

[rebelyell91]

@MetalHeadKLR650 :) awesome.

[cashstore1]

Perhaps the boots would work well in a rumble. You can do some serious damage kicking ass. Everyone knows you are a hooligan like that. LOL

[rebelyell91]

@cashstore1 haha. they would be badass in a fight for sure. maybe we can film it

[AridersLife]

wait what ? you had pants... u implied you had no pants on while riding. lol

[rebelyell91]

@AridersLife :) yep, pantless, it was cold. :P

[kd4ysi]
