Alpinestars Black Label Recon Waterproof Boots

By Anonymous from MA, USA on 03/12/2008

Pros: I liked the strong leather construction and the support it provides for your ankle. It's definitely very sturdy and high quality. Excellent boot if you're riding in the rain or colder weather.

Cons: I returned these boots because for me personally I didn't really like them. They are very military-looking and blocky, and personally I wanted something that looked more like a shoe with a little bit of ankle support for the quick errands. It also doesn't seem very breathable, but I never took it out on the street to test.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size larger

Additional Sizing Notes: Fits more like half a size larger...

Comments: Kneedragger's customer service was incredible when I had to return these because they were too big (and I decided to go with something else). Communication was excellent and I'm very satisfied.... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: Great boot for the street. Like velcro calf adjuster

Cons: none

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Comments: Suffered a broken foot in a crash. This is the only boot i found that could accomodate my "larger foot". Good feel, easy to get into and out of. I reccomend to anyone who has a wider foot.

Pros: I love the look of this boot. Very clean looking and almost military looking. This boot is quality made and felt very supportive. I ride a sport bike and I found it easy to access the shifter even in a forward leaning position.

Cons: I ended up exchanging this boot for the Alpinstar Tech 2 (which I also exchanged) because I felt that the toe area on the left foot (shifter side) needed some sort of reinforcement (plate/guard). There is nothing but leather between your toe and the shifter in that area and you could really feel it through th shoe.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size larger

Additional Sizing Notes: I ordered an 8 and found it to be a bit big. I didn't see it as an issues since that would allow me to wear thicker socks in cooler weather.

Pros: Excellent fit Great looks

Cons: Laces can be a PITA

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: These boots were a perfect fit in 10.5

Comments: These boots were a perfect fit and needed no serious break in time. The fit is snug and secure. Messing with the laces can be a hassle, but the large cover panel keeps the loose ends secure.

Pros: Lots of padding, excelent fit, love the laces.

Cons: kinda stiff, but should loosen up over time

Comments: I just received the boots yesterday and the fit is perfect. They open up to allow my foot to easily slide in yet when laced up are snug enough to prevent my foot from moving around inside. The... (Read the rest of this review)
