What is the difference between Tech 10 and Tech 7 boots?
The most noticeable difference between the two is the fact that the Tech 10 uses an inner bootie, while the Tech 7 does not. The Tech 7 boot features several flex points and four aluminum buckles on plastic straps. The Tech 7s are easy to put on and once the four buckles are fastened, they fit well and are comfortable.

The Alpinestars Tech 10 comes in full sizes only, no half sizes. I wear a size 10.5 shoe and a size 11 Tech 10 fits me well. The attention to safety and comfort extends to the inner booty as well as the torsion bars help control ankle rotation.

The sole is moderately flexible and wears very well.
