I'll be racing this summer mostly XC but maybe a few MX. Will these boots cut it, or should I go for the Tech 6 (seems more durable). The Vectors are so comfortable that I wonder if they'll give enough support.
Thanks

I just tried on a pair a few weeks ago, and they rock. I really think they would be fine....Actually Dana was wearing a pair in one of the Huevos films, so I am sure if he wears them, they aren't junk. The sole feels really stiff on them....Alot of support on your arch of the sole...I wanna pair

Well I guess I'll find out, I just got a pair with 4hrs on them off Ebay for $130. ;)

totally go with the tech 8's man, you won't be dissapointed, i love mine, sure it will cost you a lot of money but when you break your ankle and have to pay for health (unless you are canadian like me and don't have too, haha) you will end up paying more in the long run....

but whatever floats you boat..

They were great boots, but they just didn't last very long. I usually get at least 2 years out of a pair of boots.
