what are good rideing shoes or boots

 

All the brands have plus' and minus' . The problem with buying MX boots for a quad is the angle you sit at. Most boots were designed with moto-cross bikes in mind. The angle of your foot to the shifter is different than when you sit on a quad. Most people I ride with complain the boots are not flexible enough.
Currently I use Thor boots...(somewhere around $150-160) It took some time..But once broken in, they are fine.
My advice would be to get a good boot that has a little flexability in it. If taken care off...a nice pair of boots will last years. It scares me to see people riding in sneakers. Make sure the sole is pretty rigid for landing those big jumps [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and the quality of the buckles is good. My buddy paid almost 100 more for his fox boots. He looses a buckle every time we ride. Not too good if you ask me.

You need to be more specific. Are you looking for mx type riding boots or just a general boot that is suitable for riding? I wear Alpine Stars M-4 AT (all terrain sole) riding boots when I am riding the ex. The offer great protection and support, but cost around $180. When I am riding the utilities, I generally wear my Rocky work/hunting boots. They are lighter and cooler, but do not offer the same level of protection.

 

I use Thor for riding my manual shift and have no problems.

 

I use Tech 8's. MX or trail riding, great boot! My bro uses Tech 8's as well when he is on his CR250R racing or trail riding. Go with the Tech 8.

I prefer flip-flops...

They are easy to put on and take off-... they don't weigh much- and you don't sweat in them like you do a boot.

Plus- when you crash- you can take it like a man.

 

I perfer flip-flops too!!!

they don't get water logged like shoes, and make that sloshy noise and smell musty, and they dry out fast too!!!


Seriously though...get a good pair of boots, like rocky's or something similar. get the gor-tex ones so they'll be waterproff. they're really comfortable, and give great flexability for shifting and braking. If you live in a warm area, you'll probably wanna get something nice and light...like nothing more than 200 grams of thinsulite.
