What's the best bang for the buck for boots? Looking to blow my Ralph bucks on some new gear...

Go to GW, they have some great deals on boots, you could get 2 pairs for that $400 as long as you don't want top of the line boots. They get wrecked pretty quickly if they are cheap or not so better to get a cheap pair each year!

You could buy Alpinestars Tech8 from bob's cycle ($380.00US) Retail in Canada for about 595.00

You've had good luck with your Fox boots. I'd stay with Fox Forma's

Dave, i've had Fox boots all my life, looking for a change. Maybe some Vector's or ???

I'd buy Sidi flex force's before I'd buy Tech 8's. I've had both and the sidi's offer way more protection. But you won't find them for 4hundy

The Gaerne wear much better than the Alpinestars

Well, after trying on an assortment of boots, I think i'm sold on the 661 Flight boots, very comfy and retail at under $400. Now, I just have to wait for the cheque to arrive...

Dirt Rider magazine rated the 661 as one of the best value boots on the market. who sells them in Calgary?

I've seen 661 boots at Bow Cycle a while back.

Yeah, Bow has them, but only in white. I want black, so I may have to order them. They are the most flexible boot I tried on, good buckle system, and one of the tallest boots I have ever seen. Seems like good value when compared with Alpinestars tech 6's + 8's, Fox Forma's, etc...
