Ie cheap lol

Sorry if been asked 100 times, did quick search...

Tried some motox boots today, real stiff and as I am tip toes on my bike wondering if they will flex enough..no local shops so not like I can ride there and try it (my CRF would be lucky to do 50 mph esp with knp
Obblies) so what are my otions? Enduro boots seem to have more sole flex, but obv less stiff means less prote ction. My use will be some rides thu here and TRF hpping mainly green lane type stuff not full on enduro racing!!

Appreciate any advice.

May aswell buy decent boots 1st as last, cheap shite are cheap shite for a reason, don't waste your money & buy good ones. Alpinestars Tech 3 are a good & not to expensive boot, I've had a few pair.

Not in the slightest bit waterproof. Thats what the goretex boot liners are for.

Tech 3's are a tidy boot if you wear boot liners with em but tend to rock & roll to much on the pegs for me, so gone back to me old tech 6's that why I fancy a pair like Mel got Very Happy

I got a pair of these from AB motorcycles in Pant...

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

mainly because they were in my budget (£100) and i got them on a saturday afternoon cos i was going riding on the sunday - and i just saw a picture of someone in hospital with a leg in about 5 different pieces and thought feck that i should get some proper boots...
Also Jo at AB Motorcycles is very friendly and helpful
ive since lost a strap and cant find replacement ones and at the first puddle they fill with water

next pair i get will be the forma ones

i've learnt that when you try them on and for the first ride you walk like terminator - but they do loosen up

best bit of kit i ever got was these
