Alpinestar tech 7s review

Well, after a season trusting a set of alpinestar tech 7s to keep my feet and ankles safe in the truely dangerous sport of motocross... im honestly not very impressed with them. people often rant on about how good alpinestars are, i dont think they're very good at all.
PROS:
(i honestly CANNOT think of any)

CONS:
very heavy
arches of feet wear out quickly
material hard to clean, even with heavyduty truck wash and many different types of polishers.
no pivotal system and very stiff, so cannot move ankles easily for gear changes
buckles very stiff (i still need dad to help undo them and he struggles)
heel not defined enough, always slips off foot peg.

THEY'RE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY LOOK!!!!!!!!!
