Recommend me some boots...

[MaybeGuy]

I got some Alpinestars SMX-Plus boots in 2010, and they've finally died. All laces and zips broken, and general falling apart...

They don't make them anymore, or at least, I can't find another pair, new, online or in shops.

I need them to be track based boots, I don't need them to be waterproof or any of that shit, I need the most protection. Cost isn't really a factor.

Sidi

I have a pair of the fancy Vortice (I think pronounced Vortichey) ones that make you an track star.

Very comfy first time on and the nylon fishing gut tension system is cool too.
I had the shut the vents as my toes get a bit cold in the winter weather.

But don't pay 300 quid. I got mine last year for about 230 I think.

Edit: and all the wear parts are replaceable.

I saw them in a shop recently. I didn't like the amount of bolts and screws in them. My last experience of something like that was in my old Arlen Ness boots, and they kept falling out and bits coming off.

Nothing like that happened with these?

I'm well impressed with my Oxtar TCX's, they've done thousands of miles and I must've crashed 25+ times in them.

Don't put them through the washing machine though. The soles fall off then.

[Flatbadger]

I got some nice Sidi something-or-others off the bay for £80 odd, but then I'm a cheapskate.

daytona boots best boots i've ever owned had them since 2000 still just as comfy as they were when i got them. i was restricted slightly in choice by having massive feet but i'd still recommend them to normal people.

I too have a pair of those Sidi boots. Can't fault them tbh, dead comfy too.

[-Matt-]

Probably would go with sidi's too. Have had two pairs, one pair broke after a year or two, but they were second hand to be fair. The other pair I ditched as it was unbearably squeaky when walking off the bike. Although someone on here did mention some WD40 fixed the squeak on theres so maybe not a problem anyway.

[Darth-Simba]

Ive got some nice Sparda ones, not sure how much they are or their make as they were a present.

Vaseline.

A* boots have the squeak too

[MaybeGuy]

I hadn't really thought much of sidi to be honest. Went in today, pondered for about an hour, and came out with these.

I saw the other ones mentioned, but I didn't really like the look of the fishing wire fastening system. Far too fragile, so figured this would hopefully last a bit longer.

I was so close to buying the carbon fibre ones, but the fishing wire was the turn off.

Well, I'd rather trust the ski-boot type fastener than a tiny little twisty bit and some plastic wire. That's just me though.

Meh, -2 is nothing when you've got enough man points for elbow down.

Enjoy your little twizzly bits and fishing line.
