[QUOTE="Shig, post: 790090, member: 50190"] Fly just released a lower-priced clone of the Tech 8 called the Talon. I have a pair of 7-year-old Tech 8s that are still in good condition. I've re-soled them twice ($100), and replaced the sole inserts some 10-15 times ($20 each time). Considering the life I've gotten out of mine compared to cheaper boots, they are worth the money. The bad thing about Tech 8s is the soles wear out very quickly, the bootie gets shredded long before the rest of the boot, and they are friggin heavy. Yeah, yeah...I've heard the comment that they are lighter than a leg cast. I was told by some other riders on this site to re-sole Tech 8s with Sidi soles for more durability. Alpinestars is releasing a new version of the Tech 8, and alot of shops are dealing on the old ones. The biggest change is a new sole desighn. Go figure! I recently got a pair of Bubba's boots, last year's Fox Forma Pro, for about $200. I really like the comfort, protection and light weight. They broke in very quickly too, but in the long run the protection might fade as they continue to soften. The soles on those are just as soft as the Tech 8's, but I'm very happy with that boot for the price. [/QUOTE]
