www.sportbiket...
Designed for comfort and safety, the TracTech Evo III has been developed with countless hours on the road and track! With the proven fit of its predecessor and huge upgrade in spec, the TracTech Evo III massively over delivers in all areas. The new hard wearing sole is bonded to the 360 heel cockpit, this in-turn is attached to the rear ankle support structure preventing over flexion and extension of the ankle. The redesigned shin plate offers increased protection from impacts, as does the enlarged toe-box. The attention to detail even stretches to different sized shift pads dependant on the boot size. For a boot that offers supreme protection and day long comfort look no further than the TracTech Evo III.

Have an older version EVO II boots, crashed the bike and hit the cars towbar with my toes at about 40 mph and had only bruising on my toes, boots and foot survived but bikes rear set didn't. Have them 3 years already and still enjoying them. Like Bryan said it's amazing value for money.
I have these exact boots but in black. They are AMAZINGLY comfortable and flexible aswell.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! - Van
I ordered a pair for $129 last week from you guys, should be at my door step soon. 👍
Thank you for the order and let us know how you like them after they show up. - Brian Van

Can’t beat these boots for the price. Size 10, feel Spot on, a bit tight as expected, but with use they’ll be all good. I needed Boots for my R9T Racer, and my FXDR, well that’s a whole different Style Animal 😏🇺🇸
huge shout out to ya Brian....ordered these boots from you guys and even though i am in california shipping was super fast.......boots look top notch, run a lil big but with better inserts and sock will be perfect (already fitted them with new insoles)......RST brand seems really solid and for the cost......pretty sure unbeatable.......thanks again ....will continue to order from you guys
Thank you for the order and your feedback. Enjoy the new boots. - Van
True to the size ?
I love this guy.. straight to the point..❤
Appreciate you watching and the kind words. - Van
I am waiting for my order to be delivered. Thank you for carrying this brand
You are welcome and thank you for your business! - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear you guys are freaking awesome. Outstanding
I got them today and they are pretty nice. Hella comfortable
Just ordered the green ones of these today's can't wait to get them
An excellent pair of boots that sell for a very fair price. - Van
I recently bought these exact boots they are so comfy and great quality why spend a fortune? great review
Thanks for watching and for sharing your feedback. - Van
Just order this boots can’t wait
Enjoy your new boot and thank you for watching! - Van
RST are great value. I have some of their gloves and boots but for adventure.
Wish I'd invested in these before my tib and fib were crushed by a curb+ bike falling on my normal work boots (Nike Acg). Just picked up a pair from Amazon. Will ride with some form of protection ankle/leg protection for as long as I ride.
Always wear you gear when riding. - Van
Really struggling between choosing these and Alpinestars SMX-6 V2 Vented Boots. I plan on doing some track days in the fall once it cools off. Which would you recommend between those two? From what I've researched it seems like these RST have all around better protection for nearly half the price but the Alpines seem to be more comfortable
These have more ankle support than the SMX-6 V2 while selling for far less. - Van
Rst offer amazing value for money, love my evo 3’s
No other brand offers the same value IMO. - Van
Anyone else find that these boots are really narrow around the calf area? i couldnt get them to shut over my Dainese leather bottoms yet i put my tcx boots on with zero problem and closed them with zero problem.
We are all shaped a little differently. Over past couple of seasons we have sold a ton of these with some really good feedback. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Van, my bad - it wasnt the tractech boots i had - it was the pro series boots - which might be different in that area to the tracktech?
Yes thats a minor problem too
Best review on YT!
Do you have an eta on the arrival of these evo 3 in black in US14 (48)?
We are waiting on another shipment but do not have any eta. - Van
I'm sold.
These are our best selling boots and have been for several seasons now. - Van
Great reviews, thanks
You are welcome thanks for watching! - Van
These boots are great. comfortable, affordable, superb quality for less money.
Only downside for me is.... I have big calfs. So I can't wear them with my leather pants
Thanks for sharing your feedback! - Van
So what can you do really? Are there boots that have bigger area to be able to slide in the leather pants??
Sold!
These are our #1 selling boots for a good reason. - Van
Just ordered a white pair, can’t wait for Monday 👌🏻
Going to pick up one of these soon for a first track boot, what do you recommend for a size 11 US. Love the videos btw Van and team. Watch them all the time
Thanks for watching. The 44 Euro should be the right size for you. Great pair of boots at an amazing price. - Van
Performance/price seems good. I'll buy it.
My foot length is 26cm and I generally wear 40.
What size I should order on RST?
We find these to run true to size so go with the 40. - Van
Great video as always! I just recently learned about this boot I am not a track person but would like this style of boot for everyday riding and protection. Do you think this boot works for everyday riding and off the bike comfort? Second, how do you think these boots compare to Alpinestars SMX 6 V2 they look similar. I wear a size 9 but have not seen a size chart for these boots. Thanks so much for your help.
We have a size chart on the site, a 42 Euro is equal to a size 9 US. This is an excellent sport boot for the street. Comparing this to the Alpinestars SMX6 I would say they are similar but the Astars is a little nicer as it should be given the difference in price. We have a large shipment of these on the way to us now, should be here this month. -Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thanks! What do you think of the Dainese Nexus 2 boots in comparison to SMzx or TCX?
Probably a dumb question, but would these be comfortable to walk around in throughout the day? I'm considering these doubling as my commuting boots.
Yes these would be plenty comfortable to walk around in. Excellent pair of boots that sell for a very fair price! - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks Van! I really appreciate all the feedback you give
Hi again i liked the design of the boots and were only 113 ppunds inc delivery to spain. I am a size nine in all my boots but these would have been better with a 9.5. Anyway i think i will buy another make. Probably bin the rst boots as wouldnt want anyone to have an accident. I have no idea why this is happening but i have to lift my foot off peg at times to make a gear change up or down ???
I own these exact boots, but in Hi-Viz. As with all gears, in this case these boots for me, I had to adjust my shift pedal up so that I can slide my left toe comfortably to shift up. Adjusting the shift pedal doesn't affect the bike from shift gears. Its all about comfort preference.
Dumb question time. Just bought these boots from you guys and love them. First pair of actual sport bike boots. My problem is I cant feel for the shifter anymore with left boot lol. I feel like I have to make a focused effort to upshift, and I have to really bend my ankle forward to get under the shifter (stock rearsets on a ZX10R). Will these boots break in and feel natural for shifting after some time? Thanks man
You will adjust
You will adjust. I can remember way back when I went from riding in tennis shoes to boots feeling the same thing. They will become invisible to you in no time. - Van
I just started wearing these boots and had the same issue. More than once I thought I shifted to the next gear, only to have the engine high rev when I released the clutch.
Howzit Van! I have really wide feet, how is the fit on these? If they are on the more narrow fit, do you have anything similar to this boot that comes in wide sizes?
I would say the width of these is pretty generous. To be fair the only way to know if they will work for you is to try them on. - Van
I struggle a bit with them on a cruiser, is it a skill issue as I'm a beginner or are they not made for cruisers altogether?
There is no reason not to use these on a cruiser. Odds are you just need them to break in a little bit and get used to wearing a proper pair of boots. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear it was a skill issue, I was not holding my feet properly
Key question - $170 or $500 dollar. What do you actually get for the extra $330 or is it just a badge & vanity?
No you do get more protection, comfort and feel for sure. Whether or not those things are worth $330 is up to you in the end. Let your budget be the guide with this purchase as you can get a good product either way. - Van
The way I think about it for more expensive brands usually it's a combo. For an extra $330, you are probably getting an extra $50 in quality build/safety, and an extra $280 worth of badge/vanity.

Mine was not closed if i tuck in my leather pants. But, the size was good for my feet
Some riders with larger calves have a hard time getting their boots zipped up with leather pants of a race suit. - Van
You guys ship to New Zealand right?
If so is shipping expensive?
We do. To get a quote you need to add the items you are interested in to the cart. Once you have done that add your shipping details and the site will get you a quote. DHL is the best option IMO. - Van
Is there any way to slicken up the shifter pad area on top of the toe box? My foot gets stuck under my shift lever on both my bikes, the material is real grippy and it guess it just grips the shifter peg a little too good. Other than that I love them, I think as the soles break in a little more they will be a little more comfortable to move around on the pegs with.
I have not heard this complaint before. Perhaps you need to make a little shifter adjustment or something? - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I did need to adjust. I adjusted the angle and it helped a lot. I just need to break the boots in a bit more on the soles. Thanks man
Hi there how good r thay for the wider calf.
As I am sure you are already aware larger calves are always a challenge to get into the full boots. Over the last few years we have sold hundreds of these boots and collected a ton of feedback. Unless your claves are ready for the Arnold Classic odds are these will work well for you. - Van
How would you rate these against the SMX6 v2? As far as side to side ankle protection and feel of the controls?
To be fair the Alpienestars boots are a little nicer as they should be given the difference in price. IMO the overall protection and feel between the models you mentioned would be pretty similar. With the RST you would for sure be saving some significant money. - Van
So I'm still not sure which to get. Either these or the Paragon 2. I live in Ireland which rains so i obviously need the waterproofing verison. But i just ride to school and ride in weekends on the back roads on a Hornet 250. Which would be more appropriate to me?? Thanks
If you do not plan to ride in the wet go for the EVO III's. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear The Evo III Seem to have a Waterproof Version too. Might go for that.
But not sure which is more comfy yet. The Bike isn't sport
Mi talla aca en Honduras es 39 o 9. Cual es mi talla en esas para obtener
No Hablo
Really disappointed with these boots. I have a cbr600f and a suzuki gsxr1000 on both bikes the boot gets caught in the heel plates. I fell once as couldnt release my left foot when stopping the bike. I now release my foot off footpegs before changing down as otherwise it gets caught
Sorry to hear you are having this issue. This external hinge design is used on many boots on the market. There are a ton of variables involved like type of rear sets and how you position your feet on the pegs that go into something like this. We do have other boots that do not have any external parts to catch like the Alpinestars Supertech R Boots. - Van
Reminds me of the old TCX S-Speed. How's the width compared to those?
I would say the width on the RST boots is very similar to the TCX. - Van
Just took my evo boots back, worn them 3 times and the stitching on the bio mechanical ankle are pulled away on both boots!!! Bad design in my book, anyway swapped them for a pair of sidi boots, you get what you pay for!!!
This has been our number 1 selling boot for several years now and the failure rate is under 1% for us. Sorry you had an issue, RST will cover that under warranty for you. - Van
Are this RST, lest say almost top level boots, best than some alpinestars entry level SMX 6?
Similar to the SMX 6 for sure. - Van
Is the size 42 close to a 8 1/2? Trying to save a return. I need some street boots. Size 9 is always too big but if it is a true 8. Then Ill look somewhere else.
For example a 42 sidi ST Air is perfect length.
Thanks ahead of time.
I find them to run pretty much true to size for myself at a 12 US. They do offer more width than the Sidi boots do if that helps. If you are an 8.5 US I would suggest giving a size 41 a shot to see where you land. I checked with the return dept and we have not had many exchanges on these boots which would indicate they run pretty true. - Van
I wear an 8 1/2 and the 42 hit dead on with me on sizing. Perfect
Hello my foot is 26 centimeter length and I can't decide between eu 42 and 43, what would you suggest bro? @@Pete3Heat
I wear a size 9 - 9.5 men , what size would y’all recommend me getting in this boot?
I would suggest going with the 42 Euro in this boot. Wear them in the house on the carpet to make sure you are happy with the fit before you take them for a ride. - Van
Im normally a size EU 43.5/44 in normal footwear. What size would you recommend getting these in EU 44 or 45?
I would stick with the 44 Euro. We feel these run true to size. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear cheers, thanks for the response.
Hi I have owned both bikes since new. I have worn 2 designs of alpinestars. Xpd. My alpine stars are a wider fitting and never have this problem. Ionly wear them with my rizla race suit. These boots are dangerous. I keep thinking the problem will resolve its self. But no improvements. Will probably throw them away.
We have sold literally hundreds of these here in the US this year alone and this has not been a complaint thus far. These are also one of the best global products for RST so they have a ton of feedback. Over the years I have had a lot of boots and experienced this with two different models on two different bikes. Once was a Gaerne the other was a pair of TCX. I would sell them before throwing them out. - Van
What do you mean these boots are dangerous??
This or SMX-6 v2?
This boot offers a bit more ankle protection and the Astars offers a touch better quality. If you are looking for a great deal on a solid pair of boots the RST is the way to go IMO. - Van
YOu need to add how it looks on a rider. Just standing, walking and on motorcycle. Otherwise nice reveiw
Race suits are the only items we will show with the rider on the bike. End of the day there is only so much time we are able to dedicate to the reviews. - Van
what difference between this and RST Pro Series Race Boots; which one is more for track race
For sure the Pro Series is more track focused. We are working on bringing more of them in by the end of April. - Van
I know these aren't waterproof but how much rain can they withstand. I don't ride in rain but every now and again I get caught out so would these be ok or would my feet get wet 😃😃😃
If you get caught in a little rain they will help to keep your feet dry. If it is a large down pour odds are your feet will be pretty wet. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thanks, I'm gonna buy these with matching gloves soon.
I hope coronavirus hasn't interfered with your business too much
Hi guys, I bought these boots around 2 to 3 weeks ago. I have a ducati 848 and prior to these I had small alpine stars ankle boots. The boots feel and fit great but I have to be honest I find them awkward to ride with. I'm a relatively new rider but I feel like i can't rest my foot comfortably on the pegs and constantly miss gear shifting as I feel like i can't slide my foot under the leaver. Do I just need to get used to them and break them in more or is there something else going on? They're definitely the right size I just can't get comfy on the bike with them?
Give them some time to break in and don't be afraid to adjust your shift pedal. Whenever I get a new pair of boots I end up having to adjust the shift pedal a bit as they are shaped a little different than the pair they replaced. - Van
I had the same issue with my pair! Wore them around my garage on a couple hot days with thick socks and got them to stretch out a bit.
What is the measurement around the top of this boot in size 42 euro?
Please advise.
Did you buy it bro? If yes, what is your length of foot in centimeters and how you find 42 to your length?
Mine is 26cm and I can't decide between 42 or 43.
@@Canpwr ended buying Dainese race boots
@@AndyG8732 Enjoy it. What is your Dainese model and size to you and your foot length in centimetres?
Get what you pay for … IMO didn’t last long … metal toe started falling about only after about 3 months of normal west and tear … nothing major in wear and tear but it didn’t last long … metal screws started falling out … they should fix those issues … nice boot but I don’t think it’s high quality at all
We have sold at least a thousand of these in the last couple of years with less than 1% failure rates. The boots have a 1 year warranty so please reach out to the team and they can help get these replaced for you if they have failed. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thanks for the reply… I was just saying I must be in the 1 percent.. because I ride on street with no crazy stress on boots and the bolt came off and the toe screw came off… just not made well IMO …

This or RST PRO SERIES RACE / 1503 ?
The Pro Series is a little nicer to be fair. They are also discontinued and no longer in production. - Van
