ALPINESTARS - TECH 10 ENDURO BOOTS

New boot goofing

I came from Tech 7 enduros(pre steal shank model). They were super comfortable and flexible. That comfort and flex comes at a cost.The tech 10 enduros are quite the upgrade at a small compromise in comfort and feel. They are noticeably “stout-er” but still have great feel for the protection you’re getting. I wear a size US 13 so I’m not sure any boot will feel “low profile”. Recent Southwest trip proved how well these boots performed. On my T7 on single track, I smashed my boots into rocks multiple times with speed when the rocks got skinny, and my feet are still here to tell the tale. The sole of the enduro still offer great trail grip for walking ahead to scout lines. The sole on the tech 10 enduros are not as “aggressive” as the tech 7 enduros but I never had any issues with foot dabs or off bike. The less aggressive tread (in my opinion) is less likely to hang up if you run more tacky pegs. The less talked about hero of this boot is the booties. I have sweaty feet and I had to trash my old pair of 7s based off smell alone. Having removable booties that are much easier to clean and dry will ensure longer life in my case. The comfort is great. Long single track days and I didn’t feel any fatigue in my feet, which should translate well to long ADV days of many hours on the pegs, knowing my feet are protected higher than most options out there. Don’t gamble your riding season with foot injury and invest in your most vulnerable body part when riding. I recommend these big time.

Product was as described in new condition. Most comfortable boots I have ever slid on.
