New Boots Time

[2taddict]

Its time for some new boots and need some recommendations.

I learned to ride bikes some years ago in gum boots ( large sports type boots ) and have never got used to hard MX boots that I can't feel the pegs or levers with. I know they offer probably the best protection but I am willing to compromise for something that you can walk & feel with, sort of half MX half Trials.
There are lots of new so called enduro boots out there but just seem to be MX boots with different soles attached. So.... I am after some recommendations for something a bit more "comfortable" if you like to go out and try a few on.

forma adventure,very comfy,very waterproof,grippy sole,nice compromise with exceptional comfort and decent feel,black or brown,some armor,did I mention comfort?only negatives are-scuff up a bit due to softer construction/less armor,slightly quirky styling, and because theyre so waterproof theyr a PITA to dry if u do manage to submerge them!
honestly make me smile when I put em on,theyre that good! 9/10.

i am also looking at new boots and it has come down to the forma or tech7. I think it will be the forma something new i have been in tech 8's for the last 10 years.

Garne SG 10's are a great boot, pricey, yes..... they breakin very easy, soles can be replaced along with just about every other part on the boot. These boots are an investment, not a comsumable throw away!

My favorite boot so far. They fit square feet, as opposed to A* and Sidi which fit narrow feet. However, Sidi would be my preferred if they fit my blocky feet, just because.

Well I guess you could say I have square feet.
I liked the Garne SG 10's, Trying on a pair was what convinced me I needed new boots.
Had a look on the Forma web site. The Terrain TX Enduro look OK and reasonably priced here in Aus. Anyone have an opinion on these?

I'm another wide-footer and swear by the Gaerne SG10's.

Tried other boots, but none of the other high-end boots fit me as well. On my second pair, and hope they don't change the production template any time soon.

The SG10's aren't really a 'half and half' boot. But I've come to the reality that I sacrifice feel, for protection, as I age.

Currently nursing a first-time dislocated shoulder, so my thoughts on not hurting myself may be biased ...

Just bought my 4th pair of Garne SG 10's. I was at a shop in the US one time that stocked all the lines of boots. Garne are the ticket for wide feet. Good lasting boot that you can ride in right out of the box.

How true, I find myself standing around in my boots after a ride wondering why everyone else is in bare feet.

Yep love my SG10's. Crash tested them too and they are pretty good in that regard too.
