I am looking for a new pair of boots and I just want to know what kind some of you guys use. I got a pair of ARC Corona's and I don't like them. I am looking at t he Oneal Element and MSR World Tours. I want a boot with the ATV sole. Thanks

 

There's a couple of threads about boots...just do a quick search

 

SIDI, great boots

 

I ride Fox Forma Pros and couldn't be happier. Unbelievably comfortable and lightweight.

thor is good so is alpinestars. ive got the T-30 boot it is very comfortable and sort of light

 

Sorry i meant to put ''lightweight''

 

Alpinestars Tech 4 can be had with an AVT sole. I love mine, but I only wear them when riding technical trail on the utes. I am off the bike a lot, helping others through technical sections, building trail, finding routes around fallen trees, etc,

BUT, an ATV soles doesn't allow you to make the subtle adjustments in foot position (the lugs catch on the foor pegs!), when you are blasting through the desert on a sport bike. My choice for that is the Alpinestars Tech 6.

 

I found alpinestars to be extremely heavy compared to my forma pros. Anyone else feel like alpines weigh a ton?

My Tech 6's are heavier than my Answer boots but they are far more comfortable and feel much more protective....and they don't need the long break-in period and have the replaceable sole.

 

HoundDog-Which model you talking about???? Tech 8-I would agree that they are to heavy for sport riding. Save them for racing or freestyle jumping. Tech 6-A nice compromise between reasonable weight and good protection. Tech 4-When you are doing as much walking as you are riding, or a cheaper boot for the kids.
