Boots
I am looking to purchase a pair of boots for mainly street riding and maybe the occassional trackday in the future. Budget is only around 200 right now. Any recommendations?

I have a pair of AlpineStar SMX plus in excellent condition. What size do you need?

Re: Boots
The boots Abtech has are better protection but I have AlpineStars GP3 boots and like them (comfy and decent protection) They are good for both but more street oriented (I might get a second pair w/more armor for track use this summer)

Abtech's boots would be a good choice. I have them for street riding in the Gortex version.

That's a great deal, and I suggest you jump on it.

Not huge, just the same size as mine (and evidently yours).

Re: Boots
The selection isn't too good today, but this is the main category of shoe I get to pick from if I do an online search for a woman's shoe that fits me. Cool.
