    Normally I ride in lace up redwings (work boots), but I am getting ready to buy a set of alpinestars.

    OK this is why I ask. I always wear lace up work boots. However my 14 year old son recieved a new pair of Thor's for his dirt bike because he out grew his size 10's, which fit me fine. We wen't out and rode today and I tried out his old boots to see if i would like them. They felt very stiff and hard to up shift on my 200x because the shifter is about 2" below the peg, unlike his bike which is about level. So liking the feel of the boot, I am having trouble up shifting. Just wondering if these other model boots are a bit more flexible and more ATC friendly.

    Thanks, Rob

    Hebo trials boots. Lighter and more flexable than traditional MX boots. You don't put your feet down anyway, right?

    work boots. I tried on several pairs of riding boots on through the years and just dont like them. Riding boots are probably better protection but they feel too bulky and i cant move in them. Just my opinion.

    Workboots provide absolutely no ankle support whatsoever compared to a mx boot.
    If you cant shift with a mx boot move your shifter up.
    An ankle injury will haunt you thre rest of your life, it seems dumb not too.
