I'm riding the rocky mountains, so the ground is ultra-technical sharp rocks. All the boot discussions seem to focus on Sidi Force, Alpinstars Tech 6&8, and Fox Pro Forma. Are these just the best for MX & SX? A rep at Bob's told me the Hi-Points were the best trail riding boots, so I ordered a pair that will ship tomorrow. After a bit of research, it seems like there the only boots made like this, so I'm a bit concerned. Are the Hi-Points just retro-styled poser boots, or are they the ones I really want?
I understand for trail riding, I need something a bit more flexible to anchor on uneven footing, but I want enough support so that I don't break an ankle (already broke my left one snowboarding), and I'm a bit concerned abount a rock shot to the boot without the plastic guards won't offer the protection I need.
Any input?
