I love mine. The squeaking while walking is a bit annoying at times. I would not pay full price for them though. If was going to spend that much I would get the Sidi Vertigo's for the added heel protection and bionic looking ankle brace.

i got the smx plus and they are ******* comfortable as hell. being in them for nearly 9 hours straight and i was still fine. the only thing i dont like about them is after theyre broken in they squeak when you walk but some of my friends have sprayed wd40 and it stopped. it doesnt bother me though

I have SMX's and like them very much.

After a year of daily riding, the shift pad has started to come apart though.

i have Alpinestars SMX-R. very comfy boots, no complaints at all. look around on ebay, you find some pretty good deals for them on there, brand new in the box.
