Congrats on your videos; watched a slew today and quite enjoyed them. The fact you counterbalance the pros with the cons and are willing to recommend lower priced goods over some of the higher priced counterparts really helps with the credibility. I also like the mild-mannered presentation style...some of the motorcycle gear review guys are intense! Thanks!

Always entertaining reviews, Thanks Ryan. The 2nd shoe, the black dress one, I prefer the side zipper style boots for the same reasons you dislike them. I set my laces at a comfy fit, and then slip my boots on and off with quick ease using the side zip. Gives me the "look" and fit of a dressier shoe, but more convenience.

I have the Faster 2 shoes myself, I can't say I really noticed them being tight though, my biggest gripe is I think the laces should go right up to the top of the shoe, not only to hold the laces in places to make sure they never get wrapped around a peg or something, but also the tops can sometimes feel very loose. I do like them though and sometimes even wear them with jeans when not on the bike. Mine are the more plain black style with white highlights, so not quite as 'loud' as white and red :)

Recently wiped out on my motorcycle wearing my Alipinestars Parlor; and one of my legs were pinned under the bike. I would've suffered more injuries if not for the fact that the boot took on the weight of the bike. While some may sneer at the limited protection of the Parlor, but it did the job.

I don't understand why you don't put the smx-3 instead of the 2. Your complaint that its too high is pretty minor. I found walking in mine extremely comfortable, and on top of that the higher front that seems to be such a deal-breaker for you is actually a benefit not only in terms of protection, but it also helps keep the boot dryer when worn under overpants. In my opinion the 3 looks cooler, is safer, still very walk-able, and even has a sweet adjustable ski bootesque fastener making it more tailored to the rider and thus even more comfortable, and safer because a boot that comes flying off in a crash is useless.

I use a neoprene shift lever boot protector. It last a fair amount of time, and prevents the shift lever from damaging your riding gear. The added benefit, is you don't have to put on a boot protector directly on to your boot... SO no having to remove it when walking around.

Have been riding with the Alpinestars Parlor for almost a year now; and it is still one of the best and most practical motorcycle boots for normal commuting use. No need to change boots when you get into the office and the waterproofing comes in handy too. I have to highlight though that the waterproof doesn't cover the full height of the boot; and it can get wet if water splashes high enough. But all in all, a great product from Alpinestars
