Which Boots

Post by WesleyDRZ400 »

I was sick of my Tech 3s as from the knee down it was like i had no legs and like moon boots to walk in.

My black road boots fell apart

I want some boots i can walk in, can use on tracks and are very flexible for movement and i can also use them for 2-3 week trips as everyday boots when not on the bike

Any ideas, is there such a boot?

I've just bought some Forma Adventure boots - recommended to me by a few people.

I'm going on a long trip and will be wearing boots most of the day for riding and walking about - I've not had them long but so far they're comfy and waterproof - and with the price around £180 - depending where you get them - I think they're pretty good value.

+1 again for the Forma, I have had a pair for over 12 months now and would not think twice about using them for a long walk, superbly comfortable, lightweight and waterproof..

Yes i would use a pair of Alt-bergs or para style boots but you cant use them on some of the tracks as you have to use MX type style boots and as i plan to start going to the tracks near where i live i think its best to just get a pair which also i can use on trips.

I looked up the boots you guys mentioned and the infinity looks better suited to what i am looking for as only two buckles comparing to the 3 on the forma adventure boot so maybe they are less tighter and also the sole looks more off a walking boot so maybe softer to move around in compared to the forma boot.

But then the Alpinestar toucans look very comfy to for walking but at that price i think is better to go to a shop that stocks them to try them on.

Also anyone know much about the Alpinestar Scout boot?
