4 Wheels? Huh?
My first riding boots were a pair of Mr. Motorcycle boots with the old speed laces back in the mid 80s....lol Some of you older guys might rember them. From the 90s till now I only use Alpinstars, I used to use Tech 5's but they quit making them so i went down to the Tech 4's.
80s......185 atc, Yamaha tri-moto 200, 85 200x with tons of work
90s......89 Suzuki quad racer 250 (raced 250 A class for 6 years, late 90s.. custom framed 250x with long travel shocks and a built 350x motor.... built Honda 110
00s...... chomeoly framed 350 RX with all the goodies (thanks to my bro)

Catch me if you can
I can't make the adjustment from work boots to riding boots. I wish I could wear riding boots but every time I try it just doesn't work. I shift with my ankle, so to speak. With riding boots it seems you have to use your whole leg to shift. I can't seem to change the way I ride. I've been riding for about 20 years so....

i decided to save my work boots from abuse after getting stuck in one hell of a smelly clay pit with my spares, thank god. the clay still hasn't come off the tires completely, gives me an excuse to spin my wheels >

I mainly use black leather, military issue boots.
But I do own an awesome pair of X Elements.
This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

Adjust the shift lever up so it is easier to get your toe under it. This helps a lot with boots.
The nicer boots break in well and move a lot more. My garnier SG-10's are amazing. I ride all day as hard as I can. My whole body will be destroyed, but my feet and ankles feel like I didn't even ride. It has memory foam around the ankle and they also don't need to be broken in.
I wont buy Alpinestars again (even though they are also great, just not as good IMO after using both, i don't care for the little booties in tech 8's)
One issue though, the SG-10s have lots of hard plastic and scratches the bikes fenders. I wear some old retro honda leather boots on my trikes.
