most of you who go out with me know
that i have a fave set of boots
a set of Spidis...comfortable as, just about waterproof
and old as

well I pensioned them off today
bought myself a pair of Alpinestar boots
comfy, waterproof and cool

geez..I can even walk in 'em
without creakin'



cheers

They're the expensive cousins of my old and new boots.

Mine creaked when new, used to drive me nuts.

Enjoy, if they are anything like mine they are sure to be a comfy boot .

one reason I bought 'em
they did NOT creak when i walked around the showroom

They are comfy....
like buying helmets, i spent an hour trying boots
10-15 minutes with them on walking around
and I found they fit ( I have a wide foot which makes fit critical)


and thanks for the feedback


cheers

This IS true.... BUT you still need knee and toe sliders dude !!!

I had a pair of Alpinestars that WERE great to "walk" in but I had to get the soles refitted (dont know if it was a one off or indicative but).

A pair of Gaernes that STILL see service and a pair of Dainese with carbon inside that got cheap in Italy from a cafe boy, the soles were scuffed but NO marks were the pegs would leave them are the current ones, I do like the Dainese a lot (tit toe sliders are KEWL) but I have to admit they do rub on the "join" in my prev. broken leg...

:

have knee sliders on the pants......of course

and
its funny you know
in the 6 odd years I have had the Spidis
they never touched down at any time
...wore out the hero blobs under the pegs though
must be how I use my weight or foot placement ...or sumfing

so when it came time for new boots
...toe sliders were not a big issue
