Felonious_Monk Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 What kind of boots do you guys wear.........and how did you break them in???? I have heard that most are uncomfortable when they are new. So I was wondering how everyone breaks them in. Later, Monk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 (edited) I got some Thor T-30 boots, got them when I got my bike a while back...still not broke in. I haven't worn them on the banshee much since the plastic on the inside melts to my pipes. Edited October 7, 2004 by ledofthezep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I have a pair of Tech 8's, that i've had for about 3 years now, and are still as stiff as the day i got em....Doesn't bother me, i'll take all the support i can get.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felonious_Monk Posted October 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Anyone know anyone that has the Alpinestars Vector Boot?? I am looking at the tech 8's, and those.......What are the differences??? All I can tell really is that the tech 8's have a little more support....They seem a little more..."plastic", where the vector appears to be a little more flexible....... I guess I just need to try both on and make my own decision..... Later, Monk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschoeberl Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I have the Alpinestar Tech 8s and love them. All boots are stiff when you first get them. I have had these for a couple years now and have boughten Tech 6 for the wife and Tech 4s for the kids. Do like my kids did, don't ever take them off. When we are riding, we have to fight the kids to get them off. I believe in a good quality boot after my wife rolled my quad over her and prevented a broken leg from happening. They are worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badassbilletbanshee Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Tech 8's here! Love them if they are good enough for the best mxer's in the world good enough for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelbanshee2 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 ive tried the vectors on. they were to loose/soft for my liking maybe better for less aggressive riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Let's talk SIDI. Anyone see the review for the SIDI Vortex Evo in the ATV Sport mag a few issues ago? They look like really good boots and according to the review are great for quad riders due to the way it flexes a tad more for moving around the quad, unlike a bike. I was thinking of trying them, either them or the Tech 6's. Tech 8's are just too much dough for this white boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squish Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I have the vector's. I had the tech 6 boot first. I like the vector better. They are easier to put on and take off. Only two buckles. And one strap. I ride hair scrambles in Florida and it gets muddy here. I dont have a problem with mudd getting in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NugShee Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Just regular old work boots here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Fox Trackers= Concrete, and the buckles are fuckin plastic so 1/2 of them have been busted by rocks and shit. If they weren't a gift i'd be gettin my money back . Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis's Banshee Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Tech 8's here too. Check out the Oct. Dirt Wheels. They had some good things to say about a new boot. Can't remember the name though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
