Pros: Great boot. Good protection and comfort.

Sizing Info: Other

Additional Sizing Notes: I traded a size 46 in for the size 47. The length was good, but they got wider. A good innersole took care of the problem and the boots are now a great fit.

Pros: Boot seems well built and sturdy. Very comfortable overall. Love the two velcro closures which make for a very custom fitting boot. Velcro zipper flipper a definate plus as it makes finding the zipper very easy and helps keep the zipper from sliding down.

Sizing Info: Other

Additional Sizing Notes: the newer boots that i\'ve gotten from alpinestars seem to run a bit wider in the toebox and a smidge longer. this was my impression of the size eu40 boots
