What kind of boots are good to buy? Are they really hot in the summer? Do they keep the mud out? Are they durable?

There are many good boots, I like THOR, but it really depends on how much you want to spend ($110-300+)

Try on a few pairs find the ones you want, then comparative shop over the internet.

I have FOX FORMA boots. They are really comfortable, durable and keep your feet clean.
The down-side is that they are $250! (ouch)
I have crashed a few times and I believe that the boots saved me from any ankle or foot injuries.

I buy just 10 dollar rubber boots( LOL ) they do the trick keeping the mud out and they keep cool for summer days.

alpine stars are also the most expensive boot you can buy too. I think the oneal element boots would do. theyre cheap and look good. but I wear my 30 dollar rice boots. work great.

first of all don't go with the rubber boots. or just normal work boots. I have fox forma boots and they are very strong and they've lasted forever,they have saved me ankle many many times.I would get them or if you got the $$$ get the aplinestars tech 8 or if don't want to spend quite that much get the aplinstars tech 5. these boots will last alot longer and be very strong. and oh yea I went for a quick ride and I was just wearing work boots and ended up braking my leg. my foot went under the back tire. I did this same thing with my Fox boots and it didn't hurt my ankle at all.so go buy you some good boots. later

I recently bought Alpinestars M4 boot. They set me back about $170. Small price to pay for piece of mind. If you take care of your boots they should last years. A $100 pair of boots is better than no boot at all. You get what you pay for.

i just bought a pair of the alpinestars M4 boots, for $170, so far they are great, they also have a treaded sole, so you wont slide around in the mud too much. this is the first pair of riding boots i bought, and glad i did!

the alpinestar M4 are the best buy for the money i love mine...if you dont care to wait on the special order you can get an atv sole wich is a little more chunkier so you get more traction in the wet stuff.
