I have a pair of Alpinestars SMX-5 Boots and with regular socks the boots were a little tight. Since I started to wear these the boots fit and felt alot nicer. A little pricey for a pair of socks but overall well worth it.
Recieved the dark gold faceshield and do I love it. It looks good but functions well. A little darker than the dark smoke and it has that gold mirror look. If you got a bell star or rs1 do get you wont be disappointed.

Maximum Stability Thanks to the 360 degree ankle protection cockpit, which combines TPU molds and inner foam inserts, this boot offers improved stability as well as lateral impact protection. Impact Protection Using TPU inserts on the medial and lateral ankle level and toe box inserts in the forefoot, for increased protection in the event of a crash.
