I'm happy and reccommend the Astars boots.

These boots are comfortable and fit me well. The video that recommends buying one size smaller than your normal shoe size was spot on for me. I wear a 10.5 US(45 Euro) shoe but the 9.5(44 Euro) boots fit me the best. The 45 Euro boots would be too large. I can't comment about the on bike performance of the boots because I am replacing 9 year old Alpinestars high tops and there is a learning curve for me shifting with a much thicker boot at the toe area.

Mainly a sport bike rider of several years. Not a track rider. However, I felt it prudent to get a nice pair of dedicated motorcycle boots that fit my riding style. Ordering from STG was very straight forward. I decided on these boots, but was nervous about sizing. I watched the video of Brian showcasing the boots which was very helpful in my deciding to buy them. Coincidently he stated he was a 12 U.S. in DC shoes. Which is exactly what i am. That being the case Brian explained these boots are about a size bigger than indicated. I trusted his advice and ordered the 45 euro. Got the boots and tried them on HOPING for a great fit. The first boot I was heart broken! It didn't fit! I peeled the boot off a little upset until i realized there was a ball of packing paper in the toe. after removing all the packing it fit like a dream! Thanks Brian! Boy are these boots comfortable! I do not have much riding time in these boots, but I will say they will take a little getting used to as they are different form my norm. In closing (I know this is really long) I already love these boots!

4-stars only because boot-cut riding jeans require asignificant tugging effort to get them over the expanded shin guards. I'm impressed with the zipper, impressed with the flexible circumference choices you can make when tacking down the weather flap. The soles have more grip than the Sidi short boot I've been using previously.

So I am extremely picky with items on my feet, they need to be just right. After STG hooked me up with Cortech Impulse AIR RR boots that did not fit (return process was butter) I chose to step up and go for the brand I love, Astars.
Sizing, dead on...I wear a 9 shoe, ordered a 43 and it was DEAD ON. This boot feels like a slipper. The footbed is a little wider on this, probably more due to it being an entry level track or spirited street boot, and the comfort is second to none. The footbed has a fair amount of arch support, and is softer than many of the competitors boots on the market, I have not had to put a different insole in, and like I said, I am very picky.
The lateral movement is much more limited to say a shoe, but not as restrictive as a full on track boot, and I appreciate that ten-fold from the comfort standpoint. In and out is super easy with the zipper/Velcro closure.
The sole is very well done, keeping my feet planted on any surface. Even spilled some oil on a slick garage floor to test, and the resistance to slippage was even higher than my "oil resistant/non-slip" work shoes. Well done Astars, and STG, you guys rock!!
