Dav3y Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Purchased a pair of these recently and they were pretty much the only ones that fitted well on a recent visit to J&S. Price was £190.Sizes come up quite generous as they are a size smaller than my RST boots that are no longer waterproof. The boot size is the same as my shoe size.I haven't needed to wear them in to be comfortable, and they have been super comfy right from the start to the point I've almost forgotten I am wearing them. Time will tell how well they wear or stay waterproof. Only downside I have found so far is I cant easily fit my jeans over the top of the boot as it's slighly larger than my RST boot and a little taller.

fullscreenaging Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Keep an eye on the ankle joints. The internal bolt came loose on mine and I even lost one bolt after only having worn them a hand full of times. I got off the bike one day and thought my right boot felt a bit loose, looked down and the top half was not connected to the bottom half.SportsBikeShop upgraded them for me to the SMX6 Plus, but I had issues with these too. The Velcro on the right boot would not stay fixed which would lead to the zip undoing itself and the boot being open every time I got off the bike. This also happened within a hand full of times of wearing.They exchanged these for a pair of TCX S-Speed Gore-Tex Boots in Black.Immediately comfortable and have had no issues what so ever they've done well over 3000 miles including a tour of Germany.Needless to say I will not be touching Astar boots ever again.
