Hey ya'll, I just bought some Alpine Stars Tech-6 boots and I'm wondering how long it will take them to break in. I put them on last night and seemed like it was going to be hard to shift since I could barely move my ankle. I paid 169.99 for them so I think got a pretty decent price...So anyway, how long did you gusy to break yours in?

 

I have FOX boots and it took about 2 weeks. Just were them all the time instead of regular shoes I wore mine to skool

 

lol...to school, are you serious? That's pretty funny. I don't think I could wear them to work but I'll put them on when I get home...

 

Yeah I wore mine to school too, but forgot to bring some other shoes for pe. I tried convincing my teacher they were soccer goalie boots but he didnt buy it. I sat in the office the rest of the hour...... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

they will fall apart before they break in, I know 2 peaple that thats happend to. newer style boots suck there all plastic and heavy with no flex. MSR makes a set of leather boots like the old high-points. to awnser your ? take them swimming a coulpe times and to work and school, and around the house.

 

The T-6 is my all time favorite boot. They will break in some, but they are stiff for a reason. That is what will save your foot when you run over it!

 

Just sounds like a bad experience with cheaper boots. Buying boots under around $200 are bound to have problems. I have had Fox Forma Pro's for around 6 months now, they are light and broke in easily, and still perform like new.

 

i've had my A-star tech 4's for over a year with LOTS of riding time on them and not a single problem yet.

 

i got some t-30's recently and they are awesome. only took me about 4 or 5 rides until i could shift just fine. i love them though, they make a huge difference

 

Alot of the guys I ride with have those A.R.C's and they all like them real well... I dont have a pair of boots But I was thinking of getting those A.R.C.'s also
