I ended up getting a pair of Alpinestars because of the replaceable insert in the bottom of the sole. Best boot I have ever worn. I must have punched a hole in 5- 6 pairs of boots in the 19 years riding my 500. Bought a e-start ktm because of that bike. Knee is just about done from all the years kicking it..

 

im 15 years old and i kick start my 490 all day after a day of riding not a big defferince between cr500 and my 490

 

yeah, and you ride a bike with sneakers. LOL

 

Don't you mean you peddle all day long on your Schwinn?

 

LMAO

 

hell buy a used pair off of ebay... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Sluefoot, man I love the music...me and my "b*tch" have listened to simple for the past 3 days while we are sippin' on our corona...keep on rockin'

 

K well im a motocrosser for life, and for all those ppl that say, "i dont need no stinkin' ankle support!", i say i hope you enjoy hobbling around on crutches for a couple months while you miss work because you didn't think you needed all that "extra" support. I have Alpinstar tech 6's, and man that was the best $400 i ever spent on gear. Even with the boots i still managed to bruise the arches of my feet, but that was because i just plain over jumped a double lol

 

You bought Alps. tech 6 for $400[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]? My tech 8's were $300, you could buy tech10 for $410!

 

You are looking at spending $40.00 or so bucks anyway for a pair of boots, why not just spring for some cheap Thor boots or something. There are several manufacturers that have models in the sub $100.00 range. All that money wrapped up in quads and trucks, but you can't spring for boots? That is redneck bro!

 

Flea Market. I Bought a Pair of Fox Dirt Boots for 10 Bucks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
