i dont see any point in voting as this is gonna be a personal preference case.

go and try them on and decide what feels better. everyone is going to have different opinions for different reasons.

I'd agree on what's been said - your best choice would be to go to your local dealer/HG shop etc, and try some different boots to see what suits you. IMO this should go for whatever bike kit you buy, you should always try for fit and comfort etc first, cos if your kit isn't comfortable you'll either be distracted while you're riding, or even avoid wearing it in the 1st place.

For what it's worth I've tried Oxtar, Alpinestars and Daytona boots in the past, but apparently I've got Sidi feet (....and an AGV head, and Dainese body if anyone's interested? Embarassed

)
