Good afternoon ..thank you for the review.. I just purchased a pair of these Enduro Tech sevens this weekend.. I wore them around the house, and in the garage, doing yardwork, forgot I had boots on.. except for the strange caveman walking pattern ...Thanks again!🤙

I have two pair and love the fit and comfort. My first pair has over 4000 miles and have been resolved once. I still wear them as my primary boots. My only complaint is how easily your feet get wet. I'm going to try the new Drystar boots next.

I considered the tech 7s but went with the Gaerne fastback enduro, which has substantially more hard plastic protection. Great quality, still made in Italy. They do feel kind of bottom heavy. I also have some corozals from Alpinestars and I used to think they were a protective boot, and they are, compared to a road boot.

Yeah the Gaerne offer the best protection for sure!!! I just feel like the Gaerne's are a bit too bulking for my liking. I want to try the SIDI one of these days.

I wear the same boots and has been very happy i had the Youth size 7 and 8 and put well over 100 hours on them and now I have the adult size 9 and in what woods race i’ve kick the absolute crap out of trees and rocks by accident and by the end of the race my foot has never hurt and they’re definitely the most comfortable boot i’ve ever won I tried to Warren my dads Garnet and they were very stiff and felt way more plasticky then my tech sevens

Hello, what size shoe do you wear? I wear a 43 but I tried on some tech 7 number 9 which is equivalent to a 43 and it felt just right at the toe, waiting for size 10 to arrive so I can try it on.

I have a pair of Gaerne SG12 and a pair of Alpinstars Tech 7. Tech 7 is very comfortable but for Enduro riding to soft. You don't hafe any protection for your ankle. They feel soft like Tennis Shoes. Around the calf they don't have enough space when you wearing Kneebraces. All this you can find by Gaerne SG 12. Real protection and big enough. You need a little time to brake in but then you have the best Quality on the market.

I can’t decide what size to get. The alpinestars size guide makes no sense. My Alpinestars Fastback 2’s are labelled US10 Eur43. But the US10 Tech sevens are labelled as a a Eur44.5. No idea how that works 🤷🏼♂️. I tried the US9 tech 7s on and they felt quite tight and wasn’t sure if they’d break in enough or become too tight in the summer once my feet swell. Also tried on the US10 and they felt huge. Disappointed really as I’d had my heart set on the tech7 enduro.

I started out with Alpinestars Tech 3’s. Good boot. They squeak and I had to repair the sole from kicking the YZ over. I have become a better rider and need more protection cause I am charging harder and riding way harder terrain. I upgraded to Gaerne SG10 boots and they are far superior. Tough, bombproof, better buckles (the boots are very heavy) and should last awhile. Not an Alpinestars hater at all but they do not compare to Gaerne at least at the 3 level.

You can replace the sole and while almost all the boots I have owned get hot I feel like the tech 7 do a pretty good job but I am SURE that the drystar will be much better for sweat.

I appreciate that he speaks about that Alpine 7 so highly, but he really only speaks about that boot and how much he likes that boot. No comparison to other boots. He only says that for a mid price boot is the best bag for the buck. Heck if I only talk about my boot and been riding in my boot most of my riding experience, is that a fair assessment. I don't think so. Again I can appreciate his love for the boot, but think you need to try multiple boots in the that price range to say they are the best boot for the money.
