Gotta buy new boots, so wanna see if there are better models for our riding

[warewolf]

My dririder road boots fell apart very fast when I discovered standing.

Yeah, one other thing: the MX boots' stiff sole that makes walking horrible, makes standing on the pegs a pleasure. And vice versa for the road boots' more flexible sole.

Gaerne adventure boots for me, the latest ones are waterproof

[Taz]

I've been wearing Forma GT's for many years. I might try the Forma Atv's next or the sidi adv boots but the sidis are $799!

[Monstaman]

Whatever I buy I will be using on our big round the blocker from Alaska to Ushuaia in South America next year so the comfort thing is a must as I will be in them many hours a day for a year or more.

Where to buy the Forma adv boots?

Gaerne adventure boots for me, the latest ones are waterproof

ditto Gaerne Explorers quite comfortable and have shin and ankle toe hard bits were fairly pricey tho and little reflective bits on the back!.Can walk quite comfortably too.As Phil says they have a gore tex type lining

I,ve got a pair of FORMA G.T. touring boots . I think they were $150 or $200 a couple of years ago. Not bad for water proof--ness. but i find them a bit heavy & 'clunky'. So (prolly crazy),lately, been wearing french "LE MAITERE" high laceup ,goretex lined workboots.----------MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! ----LIGHT,WATERPROOF & COMFY.

" BLISTERS from the gearlever"------------HELL boy ----you only have to change it---not RE-ARRANGE it!!

Do you get blisters on your "throttle hand" too??

[NordieBoy]

If not a lot of standing then Oxtar/TCX Infinity Gore-Tex are velly nice.
Waterproof, comfortable, chemical/oil rated non-slip sole thingy, nice to walk in.

I have yet to discover the joys of waterproof boots

Put plastic bags over socks when its wet with my Formas......

I,ve got the oxtar boots in the picture but don,t give the protection of my mx boots....which I find too stiff ......

I've got a set of Stylmartin Active Trail, similar to the Forma Mud boots but just a touch beefier. They didn't stay waterproof for very long but offer a good level of protection while still being good to walk in - We'll quite often go for a walk somewhere when touring & I think nothing of doing a 10km + hike in them. I've had to have a couple of bits re stitched on them but they have done 60K km of riding & a few crashes now.

I also have a set of proper MX boots for more hardcore trail riding.

I am currently lusting after a set of the new Sidi Adventure Goretex boots - they look to have a great combination of protection, flexibility & waterproofing. $$$ though.

Cheers

When I started trail riding with my son (who at that stage was 10 years old) Gareth Morgan told me to buy Trials Boots as they were good to walk in and also had good tread on the sole. They are not as high as motorcross boots but still offer good protection.
