Yes, I know exactly what you are thinking. I have reviewed a lot of boots personally! I've been riding motocross for over 10 years, and if I have not purchased a product myself, I've always made sure that I've tried it out. I currently use Sidi Crossfire boots but before hand I was using Alpinestar Tech 8 Boots. The Tech 8's are one of the most popular boots in the motocross industry, and if it wasn't for the introduction of the Tech 10's recently, then there is no doubt they would be 70% of most riders first choice.
All products from such a major manufacturer have premium quality attached, and the Alpinestar Tech 8 boots are no different. The calf support is literally second to none, and with the kind of support that they offer, you know if you do have a serious collision; your essentials are well protection. The same goes for all other parts of the boot. The ankle area is extremely sturdy, but still offers a great level of flexibility, so gear changing is not a problem. If you try the likes of the Alpinestar Tech 8 boots back to back with a cheaper boot like the Moose M1, then you will definitely feel the difference.
Of course, you do get exactly what you pay for, and these boots are not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. A lot of retailers will demand a price in excess of $450 for the boots, but don't let that put you off. This is the insurance against damage to everything below your knee, so in my eyes, is an extremely small price to pay to ensure that you keep in good health!
Thanks for reading my article...
