I just got some Tech-8's. AlpineStar boots should be one size bigger than you wear in normal shoes according to the salesman.

I wear a size 11 also and got size 12 in my Tech-8's. They fit great. Almost too comfortable for a riding boot. :D

I have a set of Tech 8's. They wore through the sole on the first ride with stock unsharpened pegs. AS replaced the soles. Good CS, bad soles.

I have a pair of Tech 6s that are for sale on the parts forum right now. They are great boots and wouldn't be selling except my wife bought me a pair of Tech 8s. They do need to be 1 size larger than your street shoe though.

I have tech 6's They are very comfortable. My main beef with 6's and 8's is that the top of the left boot wears through the carbon fiber looking material from upshifting. All they would have to do is put a patch of leather there. Also, ankle protection is marginal. Other than that they are great.

that's odd. i've been wearing alpinestars/high points since the mid-80's and i always buy 1/2 size smaller than my street shoe.
