Alpinestars Faster 3 vs SMX Plus Riding Shoe vs Trackday Boot

[@nandobonf]

I own both Faster 3 and SMX plus v2. The SMXs are instantly comfy but the Faster 3 after a good break in are my all day riding shoes.

[@masonjagat]

I’m digging the new editing style and the intro

[@adobomoto]

Mason Jagat thanks magat

[@stevenelliott5403]

I just bought a pair of faster 3's and I find them very comfortable

[@dannygonxalez9011]

same. just today 😂

[@jasonbrubaker1835]

Thanks for the video! It’s super helpful. I’m trying to decide right now between the SMX plus and the super tech R. I want the protection but I also only do street riding. So comfort is a big selling point. Thank you!

[@adobomoto]

You’re welcome!

[@Emmiiillyyy]

I am actually shopping for my first pair of riding boots/shoes ( new female rider) and I saw these on revzilla and honestly I am leaning towards the smx rather than the faster 3's. thank you!

[@osbornroxas973]

For simple classification purposes in street wear to be defined as a boot it must cover the ankles. Shoes are below. A clog can be considered a shoe. That’s stiff asf, you wouldn’t call that a boot because it’s stiff would you? Now moto gear does tiptoes the line since ankle protection is a must. For simplicity purposes I’d say a cut just right above the ankle could be considered a shoe and anything above moving toward the shin would be a boot. So I believe the Faster 3 is correct in classifying it as a shoe. Comfort level and stiffness is a rating on its own. My two cents. That aside great video! Love the content.

[@IlIlIlllIlIlIllli]

Sheesh I found you tryna seek some info of the faster 3 shoe. This is my first video and subscribed. I like you're video style.

[@adobomoto]

thanks for the comment. I enjoy going back and watching these videos when I get new comments. took me back..I'll do more motorcycle stuff - it's been a bit stale. I appreciate you, welcome to the family!

[@adamstratford6740]

Good to have you bk on YT bro 😊. I myself rock the Alpinestars SMX plus and love them super comfortable 👌. I use to wear some TCX shorty ankle boots for when i rode to work and tbh they wasn’t to bad but im of the mindset that you are dude wear your gear 💯 of the time buy the best your pocket can stretch to as you just never know. Dude you lost weight looks to me like you have?

[@seanlau3650]

Hey Adobo Moto, im new rider. Im deciding between TCX Street 3 WP vs Alpinestars Faster 3 for a 1 time riding shoe investment. What are your thoughts?

[@sergeynikolov4758]

Great video,thanks!!!

[@weitianli262]

Big toe fracture while on Grom wearing tennis shoes, just picked up Alpinestars SMX 1R

[@Master_Yoshi]

I agree, the SMX's are comfortable af. Instantly knew it as soon as I slid my bunions in them thangs😂 I compared them to some Dainese's around the same price point, and the Alpinestars are much more comfortable. Great video my man, I can tell you're putting in the effort!

[@adobomoto]

Master Yoshi thanks a lot man. The faster 3’s are definitely not worth buying if you’re looking for comfortable riding “shoes” 😂

[@martidavia477]

Sp1 alpinestars? I heard that are not that comfy for commuting? What do you think?thanks

[@itsmeericb]

They are some dope looking riding boots. I am gonna pick up a pair. Also for the laces I tie mine and cover them with the Velcro strap. That’s how I do my TCXs and I haven’t had any issues on the bike. What do you think about something like the Dainese Yorks?

[@jbrosupra]

I love mine. I gotta get new strings tho. I broke one of mine

[@jovontinson996]

I can’t find this version of the SMXs anywhere, where can i find a pair ?

[@J.E..]

How will the faster work with a leadersuit? I would love a boot for everyday riding but it also should go well with my dainese leader suit, cause i dont wanna buy 2 pairs. P.s i ride a supermoto

[@crumbwork]

I have 3 pairs and absolutely love them. Guess I lucked out.

[@BlackZar84]

Hi Adobo, I'm looking for vented racing style boots. I don't much track days or racing at all but on my Versys 1000 the feeling of safety I get from my boots is incredible. I currently own the SMX V2, but they hot as hell. I am considering the Supertech R vented boots. What's your opinion?

[@thrasherdeej]

Isn’t the sole supposed to be stiff to add a level of protection.

[@hugdeath929]

Thanks for this review. I was headed out to purchase a pair of F3's tomorrow. I'm glad to know ahead of time time that the shoe is so uncomfortable. Have you reviewed other shoes in this category? I'm looking for something like this without the pronounced heel to ride my sportbike on the street. I have full-sized boots for anything more aggressive.

[@adobomoto]

If there’s a shop with many options, just try em all and buy the one that’s comfy. What’s not comfy for me may be comfy for you. I have wide feet, and the f3 is narrow.

[@hugdeath929]

@@adobomoto ok. Thanks.

[@patsmith24]

Funny, I also have the SMX Plus and ordered Faster 3 which I'm about to pick up in a few mins.

[@twitchmania7614]

How were the shoes? Did they break in well. Comfy?

[@patsmith24]

@twitchmania7614 They're great riding shoes for summer. They don't need a lot of breaking in unlike riding boots and find them very comfortable on & off the bike. The only downside is that they're very slippery in wet conditions, you'll loose your footing on the pegs which makes riding really difficult.

[@PGKNIVES]

How does the faster3 look with leather racing pants?

[@adobomoto]

I’ve seen it. Looks ok. But track leathers - i’d rock the smx plus all day long

[@AndrewHealy-ft7jl]

Are the Smx plus more comfortable than Smx 6 V2? , I actually bought the faster ‘shoe’ back in 2020 kinda like the light weight and fits in the storage area alongside regular sneaks haha@@adobomoto

[@questforknowledge750]

How is the boot in the heat?

[@MarkJYule]

I have SMX full boots but couldn't get my kevlar jeans over them - so i got the RST evo tech short boots. Look great in my jeans but i cqnt changer gear for shit because they are mega stiff. I should have returned them too 😕

[@Ruthlessbone]

We need more wrap videos fam

[@adobomoto]

Joe S. I know. You’re looking at the new vinyl wrap tutorial table 😁. Sit tight, I got more detailed wrap content. Getting tired of answering the same questions over and over, so i’ll be uploading all my answers in short videos!

[@hugdeath929]

I’m looking for a similar boot and I was about to purchase this one until I saw your review. I also like the TCX Rush 2 but they don’t come in a size 49. What would you recommend for something in a similar form factor that’s going to be comfortable for all day street/canyon rides?

[@CheesyAssBalls]

daytona arrow sport gtx is the best for your money

[@hugdeath929]

@@CheesyAssBalls Thanks MJ

[@Tavs.fāters]

True, don't ride in shoes. Just broke my foot doing skids😅 2 Years ago broke my leg to by rolling while foot got stuck. Starting to think that is time to get good MX boots, cus I ain't getting any more smarter.

[@NasdaqManiac]

Faster 3 look like some LeBron 11s I used to have lmao

[@ericleeSupSayK]

Have both, faster 3 is definitely more comfortable. Break them in and you’ll see lol

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

I really like my A* faster. Way more comfy than my puma and A* boots.

[@adobomoto]

GIZZMOTORSPORTS what boots you rockin? Im wearing the fasters right now just to be sure i don’t like em. And i don’t like em lol

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

Adobo Moto I have alpinestars as2 boots and had puma 1000 V3 boots, maybe I’ve never had the right full height boot yet. The faster just move better with better feel of the controls for me, the taller boots have all bent kind of horrible to the point that I never wear them. Maybe I should try SMX+?

[@andrewjackson408]

I love my faster 3's

[@adobomoto]

my buddy go me into em..they just hurt my damn feets

[@andrewjackson408]

@@adobomoto Like u said they are hard tho. At the end if the day everybody feet different so you gotta find what works for you. By the way your editing is 🔥🔥🔥. Good stuff

Dianese air york for ridin shoes

[@MrBendayho]

But the other is twice the cost plus.

[@denvza]

I use Nike air max all the time, super chill on the hot 🔥🥵 days 🙂

[@BlackZar84]

I truly hope you never fall my friend or you will realize why you shouldn't be wearing sneakers while riding.
