Hey Joe, My previous pair of shoes were very similar to those. Unfortunately they didn't quite have the support to stop 200 plus kg's of Austrian sledgehammer from doing serious damage to my lower tibia and fibula. Allthough not as comfortable I now have a nice expensive pair of Tech 10 Alpinestars with the latest in ankle protection technology which I hope never to need!!

Sorry...wasn't tryin to give ya the "buyers blues"!

My crash count makes yours look pretty good so no need to worry.....you haven't even run wide on corner landing in a ditch whislt back flipping over the bars and landing upside down on grassy null some 3-4 meters from your still upright motorcycle...lucky only prided was injured in that one...which took some time to heal!!

690 looking sweet....almost done but waiting on new speedo to arrive (KTM are recalerberationg to match mileage on the old one....except they are about 2k out now due to thier slowness and my eagerness to get out and about).

recent pics below ....hope there the right size....don't want to get anyone in trouble!!
