What boots do you ride with and why??

[dirtjunkie85]

Hey guys I have wore out another pair of boots Alpinestars and its time to buy a new pair but am thinking of trying something diffrent any recomendations?

[MIKEL5469]

i wear fox comp 5 boots,once they break in they get comfortable and seem to be pretty durable

[Stoopidbot1]

I love my Comp 5's. If you can flip the bill, Sidi and Gaerne are probably the best on the market.

Since I`m cheap I`m on my 2 pair of Answers (Since 01)I`ve had good luck with them

I found a brand new pair of Alpinestar Tech 3's about 5 years ago, they were outdated and heavily discounted, I still ride with them today. I am looking at a new pair though, they are getting a bit worn, broke two buckles off my left boot in a wreck, so I have to wrap electrical tape around the top to keep the boot from coming loose. I am pretty cheap myself.

I have Jett boots from italy. Not to bad they're a cheaper alternative then sidi's. hinged ankle and not bad once they're broke in but they take a while to break in.

Any recommendations for best affordable? I can't bring myself to spend hundredSSS of dollars on boots, but I don't want to get cheap crappy ones.

[Stoopidbot1]

Look up brands like Answer, Fox, Thor, MSR... They will all have a lower cost boot. Keep in mind these boots take a bit to break in, and expect to pay at least $120. I personally would not trust anything cheaper.

Another thing to look for is closeout items, stuff that is out of date is oftem marked down significantly. Rocky Mountain ATV MC has close out specials all the time. Just shop around, you should be able to find a good deal somewhere. I will agree with Stoopidbot, you do want to get a decent boot, look for a deal, but I wouldn't buy some crap boot, they won't last and you will spend more on crap in the longrun anyhow. Good luck with the search.

Here is a link to a thread that RockymountainATV posted earlier.

I have a pair of Thor's, a little stiff when new, but once broken in they have been very comfortable. Going on thier 5th year now, and are wairing pretty good, no broken buckles, but they come loose as i ride. Pretty good for a lower priced boot. When i can afford it i'm looking into getting a pair of SIDI adventure rain boots, which are supposed to be water resistant.

THOR quadrants for almost ten years now. VERY durable but not very flexible... reasonably priced- they are still under$150 I believe.

How do you like the shorty boots? I have been checking them out and they are comfy but do they still protect good?

I have not been a good boy (there is no fun in that !!)But don`t let that stand in the way of testing new boots for you !!!
