Anyone any problems with fitting of Alpinestar boots?

Got a brand new pair of the gorgeous smx-5 boots and when i got home and tried them on with my leathers they wouldn't zip up, The boot is a size 7 and i'm a size 6 but the fittings were very small and i've slim legs and i'm a girl so how do fellas get them to fit. Was just wondering has anybody else any problems with Alpinestars boot fittings?Anyone any problems with fitting of Alpinestar boots?
They can be hard to zip up at first but bedding in normally fixes that plus you'll get use to putting them on. Try holding the zip together higher up the zips are pretty strong. If you're toes aren't cramped and foot feels flat and comfy (but not loose) they are the right size. The best way is to test every boot you can in the shop, different boots feel different. The one thing to remember is to zip them up after you take them off and let them dry at room temperature. This keeps the shape of the boot.
I just compare European to American sizes and buy what I need based on them. I own some SVX boots myself. I just tried them on in the store with racing socks on.



I think you should have tried them on in the store to ensure a good fit. Different brands feel differently on the feet. I personally haven't had the issue, but I try on all footwear in the store.Anyone any problems with fitting of Alpinestar boots?
I learned a long time ago, when looking for something to wear, trying on in the store is the only way to go. For shoes and boots, I bring in the socks I will wear. Thin socks for athletic shoes, thick socks for boots.

As you discovered, the best way to go shopping of cycle boots would be to take you leathers with you.

I have a problem with gloves. I try on XXL and if available XXXL. And said gloves don't fit. My hands are not that big. I know guys with bigger hands than mine. To me, sizing charts are not to be believed.

If possible take them back and try on something else.
yeah at first, but i race quads and you have to race about 3 or 4 times in them and then you should be fine. they will break in like a shoe, stiff at first and hard to get into but once broke in there fine.Anyone any problems with fitting of Alpinestar boots?
