MX boots advice please

Teabag_Terry2 · 13 Mar 2017 at 20:54

Hi guys,

I have gotten into greenlaning and might even do a bit of endure riding later on.

I have a Beta 2 stroke 300cc which is a really amazing bike.

I am struggling with boots big time. I have tried on Sidi crossfires but simply cannot get a pair that fit. My feet are too wide and Sidis are so tight they are painful. I do NOT want Sidi boots.

I am looking for the best value MX boots, has anyone used O'Neal, Fox or Alpine Stars boots? Or any others? I am using my Daytona road boots at the moment but as these are £350 I dont want them getting trashed from off road riding and the sharp pegs on my dirt bike.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have Alpinestars tech 3's and they are great; plenty of support for MX and don't break the bank. Just get a size up from normal.

Tech 3 and Tech 1's (if you can get them) are nice, almost pre-worn in too. I have ANSR ones right now but they are cheapo, fit nicely though.

I have the Forma Adventure Boot waterproof and like wearing trainers comfort wise.

Not used them off road but still I highly recommend them.

If on a budget then i have seen good things about the RST Adventure 2 boots

Edit:
I ride a R1200GS Adventure and have no issues with using the gear lever or brake pedal in the Forma boots.

Gonna try on some tech 3's tomorrow, cant keep greenlaning in my jeans and road boots.

Couldnt fit into tech3's too narrow, damn Italian feet. Got some O'Neal boots for £120, they look and feel the business.
