Why?

I've had a whole range of boot makes, but the last 3 pairs have been Alpinestars. I've got quite wide feet, so the "pointy toes" thing definitely isn't true - just try loads of they on until you find ones that fit properly.

Secondly, I got ****ed off with riding in boots that leak and trying get round
it by waterproofing them, buying ones that said they were waterproof, wearing plastic bags, and so on. I normally wear GoreTex trainers/boots and know they're waterproof, so the idea of a pair of sports boots like the SMX-3 but with a GoreTex liner really appealed to me.

And yes, they do work!
