Great Boot!
I just wore these boots for the first long trip of the year. They broke in beautifully and with all day comfort. Kept the rain at bay and breathed well considering they are waterproof. I had to order a half size larger than normal but the exchange with Revzilla was easy. I ordered the black color and found them to be more like mountain hikers than stiff motorcycle boots. If you like the styling you won't be disappointed in the performance. A bit pricey, I feel they are worth the money.

A good all around riding boot for touring.
I wanted a boot with Gore Tex that would keep my feet dry and allow me to go off road ON FOOT (since I ride a geezer glide). These 9 1/2s fit perfectly and matched my 9 1/2 feet comfortably. They come up about 1" higher on my shin than previous boots and were tight at the shin the first time I put them on and walked in them. But I re-tied them leaning forward in the boot to mimic walking and they've been great after that. Rode in a little rain yesterday but not enough to test the seals. But, hey, they're Gore Tex so I don't expect them to leak. If you're looking for a boot that gives some protection, keeps your feet dry and lets you walk around when touring, give these a try.

Stylish and comfortable motorcycle boots!
I have owned a few pairs of motorcycle boots but have never enjoyed wearing them as the fit was uncomfortable. These boot are comfortable enough to wear even after getting to your destination. They are stylish and contain Gortex. If you want a boot that is almost 2 in higher than high-top hikering boots (ankle support), and are stylish and comfortable, these are your boots.

Awesome boot
This boot is true to size what ever you normally wear get that, and waterproof it definitely is (unless your pants slide up then no it isn't lol)
Just like everything else the first few times you wear them it will feel slightly odd mainly around your ankles but after awhile they fit nice and perfect highly recommend these boots

Okay hiking boot but doesn't look like a motorcycle boot
I wanted an over the ankle boot that offered some protection without screaming "motorcycle". Having owned a lot of light hikers over the past 20 years, this one fit the bill. I sure hope the extra material on top for shifting, the dual shanks in the sole and the (nominal?) ankle protection make this worth the $200. If it was just a hiking boot, it would probably go for just over $100.
It seems well made and the materials are of adequate quality.
The sizing is right on. The insole in removable so I was able to put in a set of Superfeet for added support and comfort.

All around boots for casual and daily riding
I was looking for specific motorcycle product to use instead of my Hiking boots, The Alp. Boots are great, sizing , fit, everything is really nice. Actually I like it so much, that I 'm planning to buy another color.

Great Boots for the Money
Oops...I posted as a comment instead of a review. Here's my intended review:
Sizing is accurate for US sizes. I'm size 9.5, I purchased 9.5, and these boots fit my wide feet perfectly. I bought these boots for my everyday commute (35mi one way) on a brand new DR-650SE. For the past 2 weeks I rode in my Redwing hiking boots. These Alpine Stars are far more comfortable than any Redwing boot that I've owned. For the pricepoint, especially considering they're Goretex\waterproof, they're far less money than what I'm accustomed to paying for a hiking or work boot.
These do offer more protection than any non steel toe working or hiking boot I've ever owned. I purchased these knowing very well that they wouldn't be as protective as they are a "shorty" boot. But again, they offer more protection than any non steel toe working or hiking boot I've ever owned.
These are a perfect hybrid or crossover of a motorcycle shorty\hiking boot. Reinforced toes, seemingly good fabric for shifter toe, and soles that fit well on my dualpurpose. There is minor ankle support but feels more supportive than any work\hiking boot I own. To boot, pun intended, no adjustments necessary for my shifter.
I put them on as soon as I got them at my office, I rode home in them, made myself some dinner, sat on the couch, and am writing this review as I still have them on. They are very comfortable boots and apparently no break in required. I have felt no discomfort as I expect from breaking in a new pair of hiking boots...perhaps this is just how motorcycle shorty boots are? They are very comfortable which this in itself makes them worth what I paid for.
It was a great purchasing experience was well. I had mistakenly placed the order with the wrong shipping address. I used the online support to request the shipping address be changed. I was contacted via email by customer support confirming that they received my request and the change had been made. Now that's customer service!
I placed my order over this past holiday weekend. I received my boots today. They came to me in 2 business days. Alpine Stars should know that any AS gear that I buy will be through Revzilla. Thanks for getting my self bought Christmas present to me Revzilla.
I recommend buying this boot if you're looking for goretex, cool looking, functional, and a comfortable shorty boot. And of course, recommend buying through Revzilla!
