hey I currently am in euro size 48 alpinestars supertech r and they are very tight. What boots do you guys run with big feet. I normally wear 14 but can't find any high end boots in that size. Thanks
I've got a pair of TCX size 14 on the way - I've heard good things about them (specifically the width of the toe box). I should be getting them on the track next weekend for a couple days - I'll report back. I'm a size 14E (wide) in dress shoes and a size 15 in sneakers.
I'd call Alpinestars out in California. They have a full on boot repair facility and I'd bed they could modify your boots to give you a little more room. (310) 891-0222
Brandon at Hustle hard had them. If you can't find them, call TCX direct. Everyone I've had to deal with there has been great
I second this. I'm a 12-13EE depending on shoe brand, and my Gaerne's fit much like my 12EE Danner boots which is perfect. Sidi's are a pretty close second, but do seem to run smaller/narrower.
My buddy has barges for feet, just like you, and he wears TCX and Gaerne pretty much exclusively. I have a 10.5 B, so I'm not much more help.
In what way are they tight ? A* and Sidi are for narrow feet. My feet are long, narrow and high and they fit perfectly. I also like TCX and they might be a little wider.
They are tight side to side. I didn't know garne made sportbike boots, I thought they were motocross boots.
Are they the new supertech R? As in this years model, I ask because I have two pairs of supertech R's...one is about 6-7yrs old and the other I just got this year. I have a 12EEE foot and the old ones fit without issue, the new ones absolutely positively suck ass, I narrowed it down to the construction of the new inner bootie being different causing issues. You can either narrow down the pain areas and modify the inner bootie like I did or find an old beat up pair and steal the booties out of them.
What I have currently http://gaerneusa.com/shop/street/grw-racing-boot/ Had in the past http://gaerneusa.com/shop/street/gp-1-air-racing-boot/ But looking at the site, they only list up to a 13, so maybe no love there, but I give them a crash tested and approve rating, unfortunately on more than one occasion
