my bro just bought a alpinestar suit and he wanted to get some alpinestar boots.... i read on here that tech 8's aren't a decent boot and that they don't last long...
i told him and he now wants to know what a good boot is, and how much it would be....
ok thanks guys.... i will let him know... also i want a pair of FOX boots... anyone know any decent ones?? and site for prices and stuff... must be UK postage thou
My guy and I switched from Tech 8's to Gaerne SG10's and love em! A few friends switched as well. I'd check out the Gaerne SG10's. $270 at MXSouth is a good price - and they will outlast the Tech 8's and provide more support (especially in the ankle flex area).

After wearing Tech 6's and Tech 8's for the past 6 years, I took the advice of our respected fellow DRN's and bought me some SG10's.
I used them today for the first time riding MX track and a bunch of trails. Awesome boot!
easy to put on & remove due to the hinged bracing around the calf area.
buckle system is great and looks replaceable.
I definitely love the rubber padding on the bike side of the boot. I've never gripped my bike better! I actually ended up rubbing the Stomp Grip tape off of my airbox and side panels because of the awesome grip I was able to obtain.
I can fit my custom orthotic inserts inside the boot and still be comfortably snug.
The side to side ankle bracing is unreal. The boot flexes where you need it to flex.
