Alpinestars Tech 1-R shoes, BRAND NEW, black, size 11, FIA 8

[EGbeater]

Bought these a long while back, tried them on once and found out they were too long for me, and forgot about them. Found them in the closet recently, so they're up for sale, brand-new, mint condition, in the original box.

 

These are very similar to the Alpinestars Tech 1-T FIA 8856-2000 and SFI 3.3/5 compliant, flame-resistant racing shoes. Full perforated smooth leather/suede leather construction, made in Italy, high-top design. All black with gorgeous and tasteful bright silver embroidered logos. They weigh 1.02 lb per shoe (yes I weighed them).

 

These are a US size 11, but IMO they are more like a 11 1/2. The length of the flat base of the sole is 11 1/2"; the total length of the shoe (including the heel cup, 1 1/2" up from the bottom) is 12". The widest part of the shoe (in the ball area) is 3 15/16".
