Need new boots!

**2fitty** · 24th August 2009, 17:05

Am looking for some new boots around the 4 hundy mark, any recommendations or any to stay away from!!

My Technics Powerskin boots around the $300 mark have been falling apart since I bought them new. Won't go there again.

I think the axo primes are pretty good.

Spend abit extra and get some SG10's

! $550ish for them =D

Near eighteen months in the Gaernes now...all good thus far. Don't leak and zips still work. Survived the bike falling on them (with my foot in there as well). I even cleaned them once!!

I just got some Axo primes seem real good so far.
Search for a recent thread on them.
Some on Tme for $375 still?? I think the $300 ones have all gone??

Am looking at the tech3's for about 399, i read they have a special ankle brace system, which would be good for my broken foot, when it heals!

Yeah the primes seem like they could be an option for that price

i got some nofear boots and they starting riping apart after one month of use.

I had $600 Sidi's that started falling apart after about 3 years. But damn they were good safe boots and comfortable as hell.

I recently bought Axo Primes...I wish I didnt. Iv suffered swollen ankles twice and recently broke my ankle and foot! They dont offer enough protection as far as im concerned. O and the buckles are crap! I keep a hammer with me for hammering the buckles closed otherwise they pop open every 5 minutes.

I will go back to Sidi or might try Alpinestar, tech 10's even, when it comes to protection, I want the best.

I bought some R-Jays. They are great. Warm and dry feet.

I got a pair of Goretex sidi boots for less than 4 hundy. Comfy as slippers, grippy sole, very solid leather & bracing, waterproof to the tops..
Had a pair of Sidi's in uk, lasted years of trail riding & scottish winters.
