This is what I experienced as well. Took 1~1½ rides and it no longer rubbed funny.

I had the same issue but after they broke in everything was good. Unfortunately it was a little uncomfortable for a few rides. I have also heard about people with hardware dremmeling out the booty to be more accommodating.

That sounds like a bummer for sure! I have three pair of Tech 10’s (in size 10) and I have not experienced any issues with mine! I have been happy with my Alpinestar’s and lucky I guess!? Hopefully you can find a resolution soon! 😎 👍❗️

Alpinestars has very good customer service. I’d give them a call & explain. After I got my ankle fused I had a similar issue & I feel like I had 1 pair of booties that had a different style brace & those didn’t rub me so I just wore those. Maybe ask them if they offer an older style with a different brace style. I get new boots fairly frequently & now it’s a non issue. I also add laces to my booties & that helps a lot to keep them in place. They don’t come loose at all. you...

Try removing the thin stock footbed from the bootie and replacing it with a more supportive one. I used to fit ski boots years ago and the rubbing you're describing usually is the result of a collapsing arch or under supported foot. With The new insoles installed wear the boots around the house for an evening or two before you decide what to do. I use these Spenco's in my Tech 10's https://www.spenco.com/total-support-original-insole-women-s-11-12-5-me…
