Go with Alpinestar Tech 6's, absolutely perfect boot. Comfortable all day, and provide a LOT of support for your ankles, and can save your feet in a crash (I've tested this;))

I got the Tech 6 when they were on sale for $180:)

They are exrteamly comfortable but took some time getting used to, being my first pair of riding boots. Now, when I ride with 'regular' boots, it doesn't feel right.

I wish they had the 'ATV' sole though.

I have had my Vectors for a year and a half and they are great boots, theyve saved my ankles a few times. the only complaint is that u need pretty sharp pegs for them if the going gets slippery.

vectors would be worse than any other alpinestar to get. The sole is shaped very awkwardly for walking. There is almost no flat part to the sole, so even standing on footpegs is weird.

What pair of thor's did you have? I just got the Thor T-30's, and I like them alot, i got the white ones, but you can get them in black with a ATV sole.... just my 2 cents

vectors are good for ppl with narrow and flat feet, the other boots would be too wide for me and i need something that fits like a tennis shoe more or less

theres a guy on ebay that sells tech 6 alpinestars for $179 if you use the buy it now option. shipping on mine was like $11 and i got them in 3 days. but they are not the atv sole, so i dont guess that helps you out any.
