It also has a toe slider, velcro adjustment strap and a styled TPU shift pad. This shoe will go up against any of the other sport riding shoes and boots in the 100 to 200 range.

A bit big on the total exterior size, but great fit. Super air flow with great noise cancellation. Super crazy graphics will make you stand out in traffic. I love it!

These gloves are fitted about a size small, and are a little stiff at first. After a couple of rides they are loosening up just fine, I love um'!!!

Does the S-MX1 have a "hard" lower shin protection and "hard" ankle protection. Can you kindly please add more to the description regarding safety?
Mesh up the front to the top where the velcro secure strap is. There is a hard ankle protector and removable/replaceable toe slide. There is also hard heel protection on the rear of the boot. Great boots, I wish I had bought them a long time ago!

What is the difference in Alpinestar S-MX1 vs S-MX2 height?
I am looking for something to use as a daily ride so do not want a full length boot. I also want something that will be tall enough to tuck my leathers into during recreational track days. Will the S-MX1 boot be tall enough to tuck leathers into or would I need to go to the taller S-MX2?
About the same hight as a regular hiking boot, leathers probably won't stay tucked, but they would be good as an every day rider. I wear running socks with them for more padding when I know I'm going to have them for long periods of time.

I'm looking for a street book like the A* SMX-1. I wear size 13 and my foot runs a bit wide. What boots/sizing would you recommend?
Width should not be a problem, my foot is kinda wide and mine fit fine. The general rule for sizing is to find your size on the Euro/American transition chart and get a size smaller, I did it and mine fit perfectly. I strongly recommend these boots, comfortable and lots of great features. They look really cool too (not important for most but looking dorky ain't cool!)
