Motocross Boots
First of all they are not perfect, but for the price they are really good. At first they were very stiff but after walking around the house wearing them, they broke in pretty well. I painter the metal tips because I think they look a lot better in black. I wish they would have these boots in real leather (I'll be willing to pay more). I tried them on the bike and they are a bit stiff but it is a matter of time getting used to. Overall the fit very well (i'm 10.5 and 11 fit perfect) and provide good protection.
Motocross boots are designed to protect more of your lower leg than road boots. During your ride, you may come across loose rocks, tree branches and undergrowth. These natural obstacles will come into contact with your lower legs and feet. A specialized motocross boot is designed to take the punishment of regular impacts with these obstacles. Boot Barn's extensive selection of biker boots will leave you wanting to come back for more. Grab a new pair of motorcycle boots crafted by your favorite brand names including Chippewa motorcycle boots, and Harley Davidson motorcycle boots and more! What are you waiting for? Be sure to get the newest motorcycle boots on the market at Boot.

The First Hi Points
This is a very rare pair of the original Hi-Point Motocross Boots. Hi-Points by Alpinestars are traditionally associated with the metal shin plate, but the first ones had these 'Red, White, and Blue' diamonds. This first pair had seven buckles. They soon went to six straps. This pair was the enduro version with the lug sole. See the complete story on the next 3 pages. |
