No More Hi-point Boots

[CR3999]

I went to buy a new pair of boots so I ordered a pair of HI-Points and I find out they no longer make them. I have been wearing them for twenty years. Now what kind of boots do I get? How bout TECH-8 anybody try them?

Tech 8? Nah, nobody wears them. :p

Maybe this will help a little? http://dirtrider.net/drn_tested/boots/vector.html

The Vector (Alpinstars) is probably a good fit if you like the Hi-Points.

I haven't heard anyone mention those boots in almost 25 years..... Man are we old !!! I just got back into riding and that's the boot I was looking for as well. People just laughed when I asked for them. I bought Alpinestar Tech 6's and love them.

By the way... I live in Sugar Land, Texas. Lot's of great tracks in the Houston area.

Try Bob's Cycle and Rocky Mountain as they have them listed in their catalog.

i think i would stay away from the highpoint boots, the newer boots offer greater protection. you might as well go out and get one of those old open face glitter covered helmets. I wear sidi's i have had tech 8's and they seemed to baggy around the calfs.

Jake how long have you been wearing the sidi. whats the life of the boot. I get three years out of the Hi-points.
