Ive even gone hiking in the moutains (dont ask) in these boots, no issues weareing for 12 hours at a time there almosg like slippers and super grippy soles!! Most comfortable and protective boots you can get!! Wont were anything else!!
I just bought a pair. While quite walkable but it is still clunky nonetheless. It is hard for me to imagine going mountain hiking wearing those. Do you mean it is doable? or you actually felt comfortable hiking in them?
I just bought a set of these and I agree. One set of boots that can do it all and not compromise comfort or convenience. Did you have to break them in? Mine are just a hair tight on the top of my foot. If I went with my normal size it would have been too much movement inside in the heel section.
I didn't need to break them in but I found that it is possible to get the inner laces too tight and cause discomfort. But I was able to fix that on my very next session so problem solved. It's just a matter of finding what works for you. It should not be a consistent issue though, at least it wasn't for me so I didn't bring it up.
Hey I just got a pair today… they are a bit tight too, even though I tried on in the store in 44 and they were comfy but this is a newer and different model so it fits a little more narrow I guess. I bought the same size Dianese hi top shoes in 44 4 months ago and they were perfect. Did yours stretch out a little for ya??
Great video man! This is the information I needed. I’ll need to pick up one of these anytime soon. It just sucks that I need to get a suit with it as well. Ride save ✌️
@@GaragePrints Sorry for the late reply. That is awesome! I always though you need a dainese suit because of the velcro connection. No I got an Alpinestars suit, so no need to buy that. Thank you a lot! Cheers.
Unfortunately, I haven't tried the perforated version but hopefully Dainese helps me out this year again so I can try the perforated version and do a comparison.
perforated if warm climate makes the biggest difference alpinestars do a great touring sock for underneath too.....dainese boots are best boot if walking about off bike as not as slippy or plasticky 🤟
The one gripe I have with these boots is that the sole is much too thin. I wish there was a replaceable option or that Dainese would add more material.
Hi great video. Where did you get the boots? Did you go to a store or online and how much? Also, I am a street rider and ride a 701 Svarpt and looking for something that fit that kind of bike and riding. I agree with you I want something comfortable and offer protection. Thanks
I have owned 3 pairs of these boots, 2 of which I'm still using. I bought 2 of them in store and one online, if you know your size in European size these boots fit true to size. So feel confident ordering online if you don't have a physical store with these in stock. Plus they do returns and exchanges as well with free shipping.
Great video and review 👍! Im sold. Question, is that the new vented model? If so, is the airflow noticeable enough? I plan to use it mostly on the track and during the summer months. I currently have Sidi Vertigos and they are stiff and pretty uncomfortable. Thanks!
I have not been used the vented model, but I ride with these boots in over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and I don't have any issues with my feet getting too warm especially while riding. Certainly more vents would help improve any overheating concerns, but I can't speak from experience and I can't say wether or not they have any draw backs. Perhaps Dainese will send me a set so I can try them out and make a new video.
I haven't used the super tech so I can't say anything about them. But these boots are amazing and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. But i have heard good things about the super techs as well.
I don't have any experience with stunting, but if protection is what you are after these are amazing and they do provide a lot of mobility on and off the bike... I'm not certain they are the optimal choice for stunting. Perhaps a high street riding shoe would be a better option albeit with a huge dip in protection. Most riding shoes forgo ankle protection for the added comfort and mobility but of course protection is minimal. If i were to ever try stunning i would definitely at least try to use these boots
Hey man nice review... I been looking for someone who has them to ask questions bc im thinking of buying them. 1. What is your regular shoe size in sneakers/boots (not motorcycle boots) 2. Do they run small? Big? True to size? 3. Are they heavier than A-Stars boots?? Thanks
I wear a 9 which is is right about what I wear on these boots. I buy size 42 and they fit really well which is very true to size in my experience. And the weight isn't something I know for a fact but these boots are super comfortable and they're not heavy at all. I feel like the weight won't make a significant difference, what matters is how well they fit and the freedom of movement on and off the bike.
I actually wear soccer sox with them because you will need the barrier between your skin and the boot. I have worn them with short sox and while they don't bother me while I use them at the end of the day I do have a bit of discomfort. But tall sox fix it.
Geez Louise thats expensive boot. Edit: I say this because you've sold me and am thinking about spending the damn money after looking at 200$ boots. Lol these are almost 1k
Lemme say bro I bought these boots based on this review and I have to say Im extremely disappointed and feel lied to, these things are extremely uncomfortable

This was great! You should be a corporate spokesman! Thanks!
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words and I would love to work more with Dianese.

The boots fit with any suit, so you can use them with your current suit... Unless you mean you personally need to get a suit as well.
@@GaragePrints Sorry for the late reply. That is awesome! I always though you need a dainese suit because of the velcro connection. No I got an Alpinestars suit, so no need to buy that. Thank you a lot! Cheers.
No worries, I'm glad I could help. Take care and ride safe.
Thanks for sharing. Upgrading from my SMX plus boots to the Axial D1’s.. just deciding between perfed or non-perfed.
Unfortunately, I haven't tried the perforated version but hopefully Dainese helps me out this year again so I can try the perforated version and do a comparison.

Thank you very much 🎉

Hey man. How is the airflow in the summer.
Hey nice review I have been wearing alpine star but my feet are wide in the front.
Yeah, I love my these boots.
@@GaragePrints are they good for wide foot?
I feel like I have fairly wide feet and they do work for me, but I still wear regular shoes and not an actual Wide size.
@@GaragePrints thank you. You got me sold
Let me know how they work out for you.

Nice review. Thanks!
I do my best to give real life reviews and to do so I use my personal experience... Glad you found my review helpful.
I just got a pair of these and the heel feels kind loose with these. Is that normal?
Great video and review 👍! Im sold. Question, is that the new vented model? If so, is the airflow noticeable enough? I plan to use it mostly on the track and during the summer months. I currently have Sidi Vertigos and they are stiff and pretty uncomfortable. Thanks!

Dainese, hope you're listening. Send this man the vented one! Thanks bro, ride safe!
I'd like to save money to buy this but the smallest size they had online was size 41 and I am size 40.
Hey, how do they compare to the supertech r? Are they more comfortable?
I haven't used the super tech so I can't say anything about them. But these boots are amazing and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. But i have heard good things about the super techs as well.
Are the soles grippy? I'm curious if they'd do well riding an EUC
Not sure what you mean EUC, but yeah the soles are grippy but of course these are not rated for places like an industrial workplaces.
@@GaragePrints Thank you....EUC's are electric unicycles...some of them can go up to 50 mph.
Would you recommend these for stunt riders? I also had a tibia plateau fracture last year and I am trying to get some better gear before riding again.
I don't have any experience with stunting, but if protection is what you are after these are amazing and they do provide a lot of mobility on and off the bike...

can u tuck in pants tot the inner layer?
I'm sure you could but depending on the bulk it might be too difficult to zip up
Hey man nice review... I been looking for someone who has them to ask questions bc im thinking of buying them.

Ah ok perfect.. thats all i need to hear to buy them bc they are on sale right now
Do you wear regular socks with them as well??

Yea thats what i do as well
Geez Louise thats expensive boot.
Edit: I say this because you've sold me and am thinking about spending the damn money after looking at 200$ boots. Lol these are almost 1k
They don't fit under all types of riding jeans but I don't ride without them.
Of course not every type of riding jeans works with these boots but many jeans still work.
Lemme say bro I bought these boots based on this review and I have to say Im extremely disappointed and feel lied to, these things are extremely uncomfortable
After a month is it better ? Did you break them in and all ? Because im debating to get them
