I was wondering if you guy's could give advice on a boot purchase. I just got the screw removed from my ankle from a low speed slide on gravel. I was wearing boots but not street/track grade if you know what I mean. So I am looking for some ankle protection for the future, hopefully not needing it but better safe than sorry. Also my helmet took a dive as well. My jacket and armor worked great. Thanks for any help in this area. Accident happen early Sept, so I haven't ridden in a while and ready to get back on the horse.

What advise was given to me was...go to a Cycle store in your area and try the ones they have there on...walk around a bit in them and then decide what feels good to you...Sidi, Alpinestars,Joe Rocket, etc...they all have a different feel...Good judgement comes from experience, and often experience comes from Bad Judgement :smt084

my JR Blaster boots were VERY comfortable and were pretty good (Zukifred has them now)
My Sidi Vertebrea are great for protection...but they get a little painfull after a lot of walking...and they squeek. I don't walk much when I am on a bike...so it is not really a concern.
Spend as much as you can...your feet and ankles are VERY important...as you have obviously realized, and always WEAR THEM

When I get the cash I am buying these: http://www.newenough.com/oxtar_tcs_e...boots_page.htm These seem to offer the most protection for your feet and ankles. They are built like a ski boot so they can only flex in certain directions.

therefore, the following equation is true.

Boot Advice
thank you all for your help and recommendation. I appreciate it. Any thoughts on Vision boots by Set-up supervised by SIDI? They are only $129.00 bucks and SIDI oversees the production, how bad can they be. They sorta look like the B-ones.
Thanks,Kat78

I am sure that the Setup is a quaility boot, but itdoes not look like it would prvide as much protection as a higher end boot that has a shell. You may want to check these boots out as well http://www.newenough.com/oxtar_tcs_sport_boots_page.htm New Enough has them on sale for $139.

Go with SIDI or the Set-up ones. Since SIDI over sees the production they are a quality boot. I have a pair of SIDI sport-touring boots and love them. I plan on getting some newer boots by next spring.
