[QUOTE="wake_rider, post: 1409549, member: 75633"] The last two pair of Alpine Stars that I've owned have torn apart entirely too soon, like less than 45 hours of use. Since then, I've been riding in Gaerne SG10's and I have more than 35 hours or so on them without even the slightest show of use, other than scuffs and such, but they have no separation, cracks, or splits anywhere and the sole compound is holding up better than any pair I've ever worn (and the soles are replaceable). I also have a buddy that's wearing the same Sidi Crossfires that he's owned for the past 4 years. Now, he's by no means a guy that puts a lot of wear and tear on his gear because, well to be honest, he's just painfully slooowwww. That being said, those boots are still dirty from 4 years of riding, but every seam is holding together. I had a pair of Alpinestar Tech 7's for less than 2 months (probably only 5 rides, or so) that the entire heel section that's bonded to the boot came off. I'll only buy stitched-on soles from here on out, and never again will I buy a set of Alpinestars. [/QUOTE]
