I am really new at riding. I bought a pair of thor boots a few months ago. They were extremly stiff. I put some conditioner on them. Helped a little. I didn't wear them one day a few weeks ago and I rode so much better, felt so much more comfortable, just discusted me to ever where them again.
I really want some protection from twisting an ankle or getting my foot caught up in the spokes on a bail. I don't think my sneakers are gonna help that much. Any suggestions on a boot?
