Nice review! Had V1 WP for years and been fantastic! Just bought TCX rt-race for track days, as the GoreTex membrane makes them too damp for track days, but great when caught in the rain! If you have wide feet, smx plus is the way to go for sure!!
I also wear size 10 US. Go with the 44. I went into my local bike shop today and tried on the smx plus. I tried the 45 but that was slightly too big. The 43 are too small. So I bought the 44 and have zero regrets. They fit perfectly! Haven’t ridden in them yet but will do so this weekend.
Is there a large difference in calf and foot width between women’s and men’s boots? I don’t mind buying a men’s boot if it means I’ll have more room width wise. If anyone knows please help
The SMX Plus V2 has plenty of adjustment up top. You shouldn't have issue, but incase you do Speed Addicts offers free returns if you're in the lower 48 states.
No mention of the CE rating, one of the more important specs. It is on the inside boots label if you look quick and looks to be CE 2,2,2,1. Not so great transverse ridgity for an expensive boot at a 1 rating. I will add that the ankles dual side support is for leg out 130 MPH pivot corners and a toe into the track and really twist your knee and is the right trade for the lower 1 rated crush. On the street the Alpinestar SMX 6 v2 series at 2,2,2,2 is probably a better boot.

@@ohmerbelma thanks for the info and reply man !!
Thank you @ohmerbelma
Would you recommend a size 45 since I wear a size 11 ? Thank you
These boots run large, so we recommend to round down a full size.
Are the ALPINESTARS SMX PLUS V2 GORE-TEX for men?
Yes they are.
Is there a large difference in calf and foot width between women’s and men’s boots? I don’t mind buying a men’s boot if it means I’ll have more room width wise. If anyone knows please help
I do not know the specific differences since it depends on the manufacturer, but women's boots are definitely more tailored and size specific.
I have a extra large calf. Is this will fit ?
