Alpinestars 251561813165 Sektor Vented Shoes - Black/Gray/Red - 6.5

These riding shoes are very comfortable. I wear a size 10.5 and have a fairly wide foot. I got the 10.5 and they fit great. I can feel they are a little skinny for a wide foot, but nothing hurts and will break in even better over time. If I went with an 11 I feel they would be to long. At first they seemed hot when not riding (I'm used to vans canvas) but after I got used to them they are only medium warm when not moving. When riding the air flows amazing! The mornings are in the 60s where I am at. I can feel the air on my feet, but they don't get cold. Walking in them is no problem. They are on the skinny side for the sole, but that's not an issue. Wearing them at work seems fine. Not sure how they will be in the summer, but since the days are in the 70s here they feel fine. The ankle cup is right were it should be. I tried a different brand and the cup was under my ankle. These are great shoes. Super happy with the purchase.

I had these delivered 2 days before leaving on a week long riding trip to Tail of the Dragon. Based on reviews, I bought a size 10, as I normally wear a size 9.5 in Adidas. The fit was perfect. I’ve never owned a motorcycle shoe before, so I may be spoiled by the comfort of these. They’re incredibly lightweight. The sole offers enough stiffness to reduce peg foot fatigue to nothing after 6 hours of hard riding a sportbike (skinny pegs, always on the balls of feet when riding any bit spiritedly), but enough flexibilty to take a quick jaunt into the woods should you need to. They offer enough airflow to never think “my feet are hot”. Luckily, I’ve not had to test the crashability of them, but I’ve crashed in sneakers, and I def wish I woulda been wearing these at the time. Good enough ankle protection, and solid outer foot armor provides one less thing to worry over. They absolutely make my rides more enjoyable. If you’re on the fence, pull the trigger, size up a half size, and thank me later.

I recently bough a Suzuki M109r cruiser. With that I bought some boots (hiking type). The problem is when upshifting the front of my boot would get stuck due to the thick sole of the shoe. So doing research I found the Alpinestar brand and bought a pair. I would highly recommend trying them on from a local bike dealer as the size are wonky. Imma size 9 but had to buy a size 10 shoe. The "but" part of my story is, although I like the shoe, it tends to be targeted for the racer bike types then the cruiser type of customer. The sole feels a but sliced on the outside which could make you step funny (bend your ankle outward) at times. Being a cruiser gumby, we walk in dirt, rocks and gravel more then the racing guys. Bottom line, Imma look for something with more sole width in the shoe. Otherwise the shoe is great as designed.

These Alpinestars Sektor shoes exceeded my expectations. They feel comfortable and well-fitting right from the start. I ordered size 10.5, and the fit is perfect—not too tight or loose. The black color design is sleek yet sporty, matching well with casual or riding gear. What I appreciate most is the ventilation—there’s a noticeable airflow, which is ideal for warm weather or long rides. They also provide good ankle support, and the sole offers excellent grip. Lightweight and secure, they feel great both walking and riding. Highly recommended if you want functional and stylish footwear for your motorcycle outings.

There super nice and comfortable, true to size, however I will warn you the toes on these shoes don’t hold up the material on the toe peels after about a month.

They feel great and if your feet get hot, just point your toes down while riding. The vents let a cool breeze in and cools your entire foot so nicely. Just be careful in the rain, your feet will definitely get wet inside the shoes. They also look good. Hopefully won’t crash, but if I do I’ll post an update on how they hold up haha

I bought these as my first motorcycle shoes & I love them. Positives: - Fits my foot comfortably; I wear these all day whenever I ride to work. I work in a relaxed office setting. - I love the way they look; I've even worn them with black slacks & a polo and they don't stand out as not matching or anything. - The quality of the shoes feel great; they seem to be pretty protective & yet I still feel in-touch with like the bike shifter lever. Negatives: - Nothing stood out; everything seems to function on it as it should. Notes: - I am normally a size 9ish but I have wide feet so I bought the size 10. It fits me great! - The outsole of the shoe is a little narrower than the rest of the shoe which resulted in me almost twisting my ankle, but thankfully the high-top design of the shoe kept my whole foot together & prevented this. I would definitely recommend this shoe to everyone.

Love the shoes but wish they were cheaper. No reason to have to spend $160+ on a pair of riding shoes. I'm still looking for high quality riding shoes at a cheaper price. I'll find them eventually. They don't have to be brand name so if someone knows of some quality shoes please let me know. These do the job and offer ankle protection in case of a slide. Pretty comfortable. Would but again but only at a cheaper price. $125 max
