How To Replace the Sole Inserts on Alpinestars Tech 10 & Tech 7 Motocross Boots

[@kiwi-moto]

Awesome! I didn't know you could do this yourself, I thought you had to send them away to get done. thanks!

[@georgecarmel6114]

Thanks for video. I'll be doing my boots this winter.

[@frankg554]

Looks like the funnest job ever.

[@hannesdobbelaere]

what kind of bond/glue is this?

[@laafawnduh]

Are you guys ever gonna carry these again in a size 12?

[@mcsbikelife3829]

Man this is awesome I have to send mine away every winter, I buy two sets of boots then alternate each year sending the pair I use that year out that winter . I get a few seasons out of each set .

[@noControl556]

Where do you send yours? I have a winter pair that are a size bigger so I can wear waterproof socks and really should have sent them off by now

[@mcsbikelife3829]

@@noControl556 I believe it’s moto boot repair or Mx boot repair in Cali . Takes a few day’s come back like new around a 100 bucks . Clean them well before shipping I got yelled at once sending dirty boots lol .

[@noControl556]

@@mcsbikelife3829 Thanks for the info, I'm thinking for $100 I'll probably just wear them until a hole forms then pick up a new set of leftovers on clearance for under $300. I've had them for 3 seasons now and they just look chewed up but can probably get another season or two out of them if not worried about damaging the bottom vs. just the insert

[@bigkx1312]

Will they replace the white portion also or just the middle?

[@weerawitduangkao1193]

Where can I find it? Recommend me. Thank you.

[@treyawoodruff2224]

Will this work on the tech 5’s?

[@RIDEreviewRELOAD]

No

[@mcdonnellmyles]

What type of glue is best? guessing that is important

[@rmatvmc]

The adhesive is included with the replacement soles.

[@Wasps76]

The inserts need to cover more of the ball of the foot area. The white section gets torn to pieces.

[@laurafy]

Thats the same problem I have

[@UncleSarkis]

Sounds like you're riding MX how you're supposed to ride it and that part is not easily replaceable.

[@UncleSarkis]

When rising MX like you're supposed to you'll be wearing out the toe area. I wish they actually made that area replaceable.

[@Sertao2013]

Is there some reason you left out the tech 8 ? Can you do this with the tech 8 ?

[@rmatvmc]

The Tech 8 hasn't been sold for several years and that boot had a stitched sole. Did you mean the Tech 7? If you did, then yes, the process for the Tech 7 is very similar.

[@GusAguillar]

Wich compound does this glue is made of?

[@tomasgonzalez9638]

Cool, yo can do the same kind of video With the instict?

[@trickynic3866]

Instincts don't have replaceable soles

[@coltongregg1135]

@@trickynic3866 yes they do lol

[@52yamahar1]

My instinct soles need replacing, I’d imagine it’s the same process, think I’ll give it a try 🤞🏻

[@Jacare1973]

Can you replace an mx sole with an enduro sole?

[@rmatvmc]

On the Alpinestars boots, only the insert is replaceable so you wouldn't be able to swap out the entire MX sole for an enduro sole.

[@wrenchone5003]

That's cool but mine are tore up just above that part where it meets the white .

[@GeertTheys]

same for me :D

[@tamirmashiach8487]

is the fox instinct boots works on same way?

[@rmatvmc]

We haven't replaced on of their soles but the process may be similar.

[@sendit2588]

See you on the trails chase

[@78wesley]

I’ve found that by the time these need replacing the rest of the boot is screwed as well, gotta love replacing $700 boots 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@mikeb4708]

I would like to see a video on how to clean your boots. Sounds basic but there has to be some tips and tricks to do it quicker and better

[@lewencashy6359]

Use a traffic cone and put the boot upside down on the cone and jet wash off

[@_Bryant.R]

I wish their customer service didn't suck. I need new boots but I'll be getting SG-12s.

[@724MX]

Did the same thing. Sg12 are by far a better boot. Sizes were bang on for me also. I wear a size 9 in tech7s and the size 9 of the SG12 was a perfect fit.

[@724MX]

@matty d well the Tech 7s were. Not sure about the Tech10s. I would highly recommend going to the SG-12s if you can afford them. They are much better boot for support and wear, but still have some flexibility after a few rides.

[@dukensnusan543]

Is the sg12 sole replaceable?

[@rmatvmc]

Yes, but not by yourself. You would need to take it to a shoe cobbler

[@dukensnusan543]

@@rmatvmc thanks for the info mine had a bit of wear already

[@jeremy_moto_192]

Awesome thanks

[@anojsemtu]

150 degrees of what ?

[@homebuldr1199]

Yeah this is definitely only a fix for riders that don't ride on the balls of their feet like you're supposed to. It's ridiculous Alpinestars even has a fix for this area that doesn't get wore out when you ride correctly 🙄

[@GeertTheys]

Lol he hole is coming just in front of the black insert. I ride on the balls of feet. also the whole sole is coming off....

[@nikoskorompos1645]

Can i use another brand of soles in Fox instict boots?

[@rmatvmc]

No, you will need to use the soles designed for your specific boots.
