Boots

[JSK73]

I picked up a pair of SG10s several months ago for around $350 which I thought was a smoking deal. Best boots I've ever owned...

I see that there are still plenty out there for what I'd consider rock bottom pricing at $335 for such a quality item. Here

I love my Sidi crossfire TAs.

vans or dc's with shin armor the same as ive used for mtb and down hill for 10+ years

I've got a pair of Alpinestars Tech 3 boots, and they are pretty well made, but they are so stiff it makes shifting and braking more work than it should be...

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

Pivot Pegz for sure.

As far as boots: Boots that I step in and either buckle or lace is what I use (Sidi Crossfires or SG10/12 or whatever). Never ever want 4 linebacker sized people in the ER pushing down on my chest again while someone pulls my boot off a leg that is broken in a dozen pieces.

if its broke then trainers are easy to get off!

I'd rather it just not be broken from a 10 mph slide and half of my ankle bone ground off.

You've never lowsided on the street in your vans, have you?

 

[juicypips]

dont ride to half my limit on the street my fellow!
came off on the road due to ice an that was 5mph -
ive had ample get offs in woods and trails maybe im lucky or maybe its cus i can move more without boots on but no ankle damage or feet.

 

[RDTCU]

maybe im lucky

I'd say

I use shorty boots for off-road, THOR 50/50. I think that hi top MX boots while protecting your ankle put more stress on your knees. I use knee guards and a shin guards with my 50/50 boots.

In case others may be confused, 'trainers' is a term for 'tennis shoes' (believe that is correct).

Sidi Chargers... Took awhile to break in but , on Sidi quality and consistent fit.

 

[juicypips]

tennis shoes? those are daps or plimpsoles. ummm trainers = sneakers
or skate shoes.
i just find them the least restrictive tis all, ive a set of boots for competitions an tracks but local trails or runs to work shops i just hop on baby.
oh n ride safe nothing like good observation preventin accidents

Either way, theyre all ones and twos or scooby doos..

I like my hi-points, just took a new pair out of the box last month. The do not have all of the plastic that makes other boots hard to bend or feel the controls.

Gaerne SG10s or SG12s. Best boots Ive ever worn.

i hear that. ive had alpinestars and i much prefer the gaerne boots.

 

[typeone]

trainers for motorcycle riding... now that's some funny sh*t.

I've smashed my feet enough that I look for all the plastic as it really helps when smacking rocks. You can find good flexible boots AND protection.

I have the Gaerne G-react boots and they have felt great since day one. Flexible enough to still feel your controls

Your out of your mind. A bike weights 30lbs but a irt bike weights 250lbs. Huge difference when it falls on your leg or ankle. Id never wear anything but full coverage motocross boots. They have saved me to many times.
