MX boots
What brand of boots do you use and what's your opion.
I had a pair of sidi srs boots a few years back. I'm in the market for a new set. I've heard nothing but good things about the Alpinestars tech 8s.

Alpinestars is generally very good stuff.

I can get you a pair for $268, BTW.

Re: MX boots
I have always worn A-Stars Tech 5's and 6's. Great boots. Tech 8's are the ones all the pros use - although some people don't like them because they have a bootie that goes in them.

Whatever you get, make sure it has the removable pad on the sole where it contacts the footpeg.

$268 for tech 8's is a good price.

Re: MX boots
I tried on some Tech 8's and that little inner bootie was very uncomfortable for me. Opted for the cheapies and they feel great.

Re: MX boots
Maybe that's why they hurt my feet. Nike's are too narrow for my wide foot.

Maybe. Nike's are a good fit for me. I love those boots, great fit, awesome cushion, for my foot.

Tech 8 for me. They're a bit stiff at first but fit like a glove.

Re: MX boots
Tech 8's all the way. The little bootie thing is cool cause it has gel pads that you can move around to customize pressure points. I've had mine for 4 years and would never sell them or go with another SX/MX boot.
