Boots

[HondaRacing83]

What's everyone running for boots nowadays? I got rid of my Thor Quadrants a couple months ago because I outgrew them. I'm not spending Hundreds and hundreds for Gaerne. Tech 8 or Tech 10's or Sidi. I'm looking for the best, cheapest boots. Might go with Quadrants again. I wear a size 13 nike shoe, Fly has Mavericks on sale for $70 in my size. They decent boots? What about Oneal Elements. They look kinda like A stars. Might even go $150 for Fox Comp 5's or No fears. Just lookin for some input and seeing what everyone else is running out there

I got oneal elements because my A stars which i loved where to small :( but i sold em for 50 and bought the elements for 50 so not too bad. only thing is i worked a hole in em from kicking over my CR and hitting the peg.

just got some Sidi Crossfire SRS's, they are sick, very high quality and i love how easily replaceable everything is. haven't gotten to ride with them yet but they look nice

now that im getting them broken in theyre decent. Are what they are for cheapy boots but the only reason i got that hole was because of probably 100 angry kicks out in the woods when i fouled a plug but thought it was somthing else..trailside repair..it's just the surface so it could be stitched up and my A stars had the same hole. held up well in the sand, yet to take them on any real trails. i'd buy again

I have Sidi Crossfires and will never buy another boot. I've had both the SRS and and TA, the TA is a much better boot.
