    i'm thinking primes or the new fox ones with the bonded soles F5's? the fox ones are only about 350 odd compared to the primes at around 500 but i don't like the quality of the bonding of the fox's sole. I'm thinkin i'm gonna get the primes once the space is cleared on the credit card.

    Let us know what they're like if ya get em. The Axo boxers are a good boot in the super cheap market so i recon they gotta be a trusty brand

    What say the customers SCOTT411 ?

    We bought 2 pairs of AXO boxers to start us off in this sport. That was 3 years ago they are still hangin together fine! I'd probably get something a bit stiffer in the ankle area now but they have been really good boots for $180-00 bucks thats for sure! Our Axo pants etc have lasted very well also! I don't have a problem with Axo quality if thats any help Chop.

    we sell heaps of the cheaper Boxer Boot, they are a very good boot for the money, the primes look very good and seem to offer really good protection,
    no real problems i have heard of , spares available if you break straps of buckles,

    i rate them very highly,

    My boxer boots haven't lasted so well.
    Leather is cracking and breaking up on the pivot points.They soak up water through the stitching on the sole,but other than that,they're not too bad.
    Could it be because I've used a leather conditioner on them thats caused them to crack/split?

    so far the mrs's ones are about a year old, the only cleaning they get is the waterblaster, so far so good

    which is why i bought some a few months ago, and aside from a broken buckle strap, not bad, possible a bit flexi for some people, but im not too fussed

    they're stiff and bulky and will take some wearing in. I'd suggest sitting in a spa pool with em before riding in em. i have good blisters lol but they're the right size for me (13) i normally buy 14s and wear 2 pairs of socks but these are perfect.

    The boots i'm coming out of are THOR QUADRANTS i wanted the AXOs cos they're the cheapest bonded sole ones, because they have alloy buckles (buckles seem to always be the first thing to break) and because they look cool LOL. But the top of the line FOX boots still have stitched soles and they are supposed to be micky, they don't have the large perimeter issue as the sole kinda cuts in under the boot and the lip is low profile. I would have got these boots if i had the extra cash but kinda like taking gambles and trying new things (plus the Primes just look so hot!) I do wonder how long the bonded soles will stay bonded tho?

    I figured the bonded sole would make the boot feel smaller and it does around the perimeter but they're much bulkier than the quadrants over the top of the foot and i've had to adjust my gear lever to a higher position so that i can actually get my foot underneath it to shift up

    All up i love em and can't wait to break em in and get some solid riding out of em. They look to be of a high build quality and they provide great support. And did i mention they look fukken dope? i'm gonna be pulling mad bitches in these puppies

    Mate with our new leather work boots on the building site we always used to leave them in the tub to soak then wear them wet. When they dry on your foot peeerfect fit and no blisters!!!
