Thanks for the complement.... and no... we are pretty broke because of the gear we buy. LOL. Alpine Stars are not cheap, but they last a very long long time, so you get your money's worth. My first set lasted me 9 seasons and now my daughter wears them. Think about it this way... you normally don't wear your boots everyday for 8 - 12 hours and they don't take on much wear and tear so they will last longer than your regular shoes. Your $300 investment in your footwear will really last.
I agree with your comments on the SMX.. I have a pair that lasted quite a while and actually wish they died a bit earlier.. Somewhere after that I bought Daytona Sport Security (one down from the Security Evo) which I'd argue are among the top boots with Supertech R and Dainese Axials. All have the inner boot armour. They aren't cheap as they are hand made in Germany, not in a sweat shop. Boils down to whether you want plastic/flashy or lowkey.Daytona are low key/slim.
