Unlike most Alpinestars shoes these don’t tend to run small, I would say they are fairly accurate or maybe half a size small depending on where in the range of your size you fall. The main thing to note here is that the US sizes seem to be accurate, I wear a size 12 US and when I put on a pair of size 12 US they fit me as I would expect them to, but where things got weird is when looking at Alpinestar’s European conversion. Depending on the brand, usually a US Size 12 is a 46, 46.5 or 47 in European shoes, but for some reason Alpinestars has a US size 12 listed as a 45.5. So keep that in mind, had I gone with my typical European size, my shoes would have been too big. So again, get your usual US size and you should be fine.
