When my brothers and I bought boots, I got tech 7s and they got fox boots. I'm still on my first pair and they are on the second pair.

Then it comes again to the "availability" issue...

I'll find out... isn't it safer to wear complete boots?

Thank you guys for your help.

Regards.

personally i like full boots better, i just feel more protected. I have had my alpinestar tech 4s for 5 years now. The soles are pretty much gone, from sharp pegs. The boot its self is in decent condition. I'm missing the lowest buckle on each of them and they still work fine. I'm in need of new ones though. lol

before i got my 50/50 i had some crappy msr vx-1s that i HATED. sold them 2 months after i bought them. never get msr gear. EVER. then before those i had some old sidis that were great...but the thor 50/50 is a full motocross boot, but just short. i mean i got big ol calfs, and all my old boots just killed my legs and feet at the end of the day. the thors i can wear for DAYS and be fine...well not now...but you know what i mean.

I have some tech 3's aswell and have no complaints. They're pretty comfortable and the price is good.
