YES, the Alpinestars SMX6 v2 has the protection that I was looking for but the looks are (IN MY NOT-SO-HUMBLE OPINION) just plain old butt ugly. I do realize that my concern for appearance is one of my own vanity. I actually posted that boot as one of those I'd consider if the looks were more "normal" in appearance as opposed to the euro-tour on steroids look.I probably skimmed too fast or missed it between the couple different threads: Do you consider the lateral stiffness and shaft height of road race and touring boots adequate to your desires (like the SMX6)? Is it only looks that takes that type out of it for you?
