Sizing Information
These shoes are sold in US men’s sizes. We find Alpinestars sport shoes like this one run run more snug and a bit shorter than the boots in their line. I think these run more like Nike sneakers, which generally run about one half to one size smaller than a standard street shoes.
My advice would be to buy one size larger than your standard street shoe size, or the same size as you wear in Nike. If you are between sizes, choose the larger.
Our Two Cents
The J-6 Waterproof Riding shoes look a lot better in person than in the pictures. I’m looking at the brown pair and the leather used in these shoes is very nice. The upper tounge and the rolled area around the ankle is a perforated suede material that really looks good too. These shoes would look great with jeans either on or off the bike.
Although the J-6 is marketed as a “riding shoe”, I honestly don’t see a lot here that lends itself to protection on a bike. There isn’t any reinforcement in the heel or toe area and the sole isn’t reinforced either. There are armor discs built into the shoe on either side of the ankle, but that’s really about it. I’d recommend this shoe for just street/personal use, or maybe for light duty riding. I’m not saying these aren’t nice shoes, but rather I just don’t see them as being acceptable protection for motorcycling. I’d encourage you to buy these shoes for a night on the town, or for semi dress-up situations. For that, they’ll be great! :: Paul, 09-13-18
