Here after a lesson learned. I’m a new rider and bought my first dualsport at 27. Was riding in Vans until I severely messed up my ankle. I thought Mx boots were over priced...def worth it to get the good stuff.
20 years ago I spent a whole summer in a cast and not walking right because the GSXR 750 landed on my left ankle...MX boots all day everyday since then!
Thank you! Great info from a personal view, just what I needed. I am only on my second pair of actual moto boots, Tech 3 MX, before that was Forma Adventure. I moved up to more protection, less walking/shifting comfort. The adjustment is going slowly.
So, I also have the Toucan. I had one crash in it came out with a sprained ankle. Which made me realise that the boot can give more ankle protection. Hence, I bought the Crossfire 2 for more protection. I wish they are waterproof like the Toucan.
Just bought my first pair of mx boots never wore them before. I went with the flyracing (enduro) for more grip. Fit nice and snug, very stiff but not uncomfortable. Just have to get them broke in good
I hit a deer going 65 - My sidi 2's hadn't arrived yet - they actually arrived the next day - I ended up with a hole in my foot where you can see the tendons from just wearing running shoes - never again and lesson learned
You can walk around comfortably in motocross boots after they're broke in. I had a pair of thor quadrant that became so broken in and comfortable, I kept wearing them just for casual walking. Now, that accident you had? I know the pain of breaking bones. They take a while to heal and bad weather makes them hurt.
Sometimes when you're riding, the distance gets away from you. At one point, I broke down and had to walk five miles back to vehicle. Boots were so comfortable, my feet didn't bother me.
I broke my ankle too, I got surgery and metal plates. Thanks for doing this video it's more helpful than any reviewers that did not ever fall. I still have a question for you, do you think the white boot would have saved your ankle ?
@@getawaymoto2495 Great info, I broke my right shin bone (inner side) when my ebike fell on me due to wet offroad. I am trying to find a motorcross boot, but looking thru sidi, alpinestar, etc, I still can't find a boot that has HARD SHELL on entire inner section (like ski boot). Any suggestion? Thanks !
@@getawaymoto2495 What's the difference between the two boots, stronger bracing? Should we wear MX boots always given that they're stronger, or only when offroading and riding higher speeds?
Honestly it probably would have broken even with the white boots. It might have not been as bad because they would have absorbed more of the impact but, because of the type of impact, my ankle would have still been broken.
@@getawaymoto2495 Thanks for still being around answering some of these questions dude, with this video and these comments of yours you have probably saved people a lot of broken bones..! So yeah, appreciated, take care over there
I have a pair of Alpine tech 3's. That second lowest buckle might give you guys problems. It cuts into the top of my foot if my foot bends up, and I can definitely see it causing my foot to break in a high speed somersault. I keep that buckle much looser than I think it was designed to be to avoid this. The new tech 3's have done away with that particular buckle. I think 3 buckle designs are probably better.
I am a novice at riding bikes, but I love bending wrenches on them. My dad had me ride (and fix) a few bikes through my teens, so I know the barebones basics about how they work, how to shift, and how to balance (smooth clutch release is still on the class syllabus! Haha) but I have almost no experience actually riding on anything moderate or extreme. What should I expect from doing singletrack once I get to that level of expertise? (PS: I ride bikes like a grandpa!) Also, I Just bought some Tech 10s dipped in 'Murica, and they are really comfortable. Using them tomorrow when I go with my dad for a second major expedition into the Utah trail system. Your video was excellent, by the way, I hope you do more like them.
I wish I was out in Utah!! Hopefully, we will be out there soon. As for what to expect.... it depends! Depends on the trail and the bike, the weather, etc... My big pointers are staying loose on the bike, it doesn't want to go down any more than you do. don't fight it. Learn to ride standing up, it will give you more control. Last but not least, ride your own ride. If you are not comfortable with a section of trail or a technical part is beyond your abilities. find a way around or choose a different trail. have fun!! (I know this is a late response and you have probably figured this out already. Sorry about that!!)
Just picked my first bike , 2019 Suzuki DR 650 . Was running a little late while checking out the gear . As for the boots I went with the Fox Comp 5 . They aren't waterproof but seem to have a fair amount of flex and protection . Also the knee/shin protectors actually fit decently inside about 3"-4" from the top of the boots . The knee protectors have these nice flanges so with that the whole lower leg looks to be well protected from impacts falls ect. After seeing a yours and others boot reviews I can see some other nice options . Tomorrow is call the Motorcycle beginner riding course , schedule and finish that and then go get "legal" . Also will try on everything I got and verify if I made the right decisions . Already know I like the Just 1 helmet and the gloves so we will see . Sorry about your leg . I pray I don't have to go through that or worse . Some years back I was mountain biking this trail that skirts along the fence line of this restricted watershed . It goes for about 4-5 miles of mixed track mostly single . Well going down this short steep turn that has a water diversion log in the turn you need to time your wheelie/jump just right or else . On this day I timed it wrong , didn't lift enough and knew I was screwed . I landed to far forward on the front tire and had to bail off instantly or my head would have hit first . I had all my gear on . When I let go of the bike I grabbed at the thinner trees to break my fall but there was a pungee like tree stump that was like a spear . Thank God i had my chest protector on as I did get jabbed pretty good by it . When I recovered myself and stood back I saw what could have happened . That thing would have at least broke my sternum and if my grip failed I would probably have been killed . I grabbed that friggin thing and wrenched it back and forth until it snapped and I bent it away from the trail , that wasn't going to be an issue for the next guy that messed up . Things could be far worse if I mess up on a trail with something 340 lbs heavier and 20-50 mph faster . I am going to be Mr. Slowski until I get very proficient and comfortable riding this machine . Take care now and I'll check out your next video .
Dave From Aus , on my 33rd bike currently 2008 990 Adventure , GREAT VID MATE , if you had included a Xray of your broken bones this shit should be mandatory viewing for new riders to the sport well done !!!!!!! Cheers Dave...
I was lucky to be riding with friends. When I did not show up to the next checkpoint they turned back to get me. That was a very long ride in a very bumpy Polaris Ranger!!!
Good demonstration. I like your taste in hiking/casual boots for sure. For someone looking to get into riding dual sport (I hope to get a DRZ400), what level of protection is adequate in terms of riding boots. My thinking is either get something like the Gaerne balanced oil or TCX drifter (can wear them on and off the bike), or get something along the lines of an enduro style boots and bring my hiking boots. Any thoughts on this?
just bought srs 3 for use on my husky 701 but how the hell can this be the best supermoto boots? i cannot feel rear brake or gear lever at all. feels like im wearing 70s plattform shoes. zero feel.
I had the same experience but it was not a rock it was a dog a wolfhound, spinned up my ankle by ramming its head into my leg breaking my shin due the force of spin . Foot got twisted completely. Now the question is I have a crumpled ankle with 6 screws in place and 2 plates on my shin , will I be able to ride a bike properly afterwards and how much time would it take.
Hi, I was searching for riding boots and accidentally meet your video. I am quite surprised after watching your video. You made this video 5 long years back but it's very informative and helpful. Back then there were very few good motorcycle related channels. Why you stopped making video. Are you active in other social media?? You should make more video, I like you video a lot.
Thank you!!! I got tied up in work and life… but I am back in a place where I can start making videos again!!!! So stay tuned! I will be uploading more soon!!
I ride in Solomon hiking boots too! I fully realize that I should be using MX boots, but I very frequently hike a few miles once I get to a trailhead (I live in Colorado). You ever try hiking in MX boots?! Forget it...
Lol. Yes, yes I have. Not fun at all. My new normal setup is boots to the trail and light weight trail runners for the trail. If I need the support the Solomon’s go in the GL bags;-)
What seemed like a masculine good idea at the time turned out to be a terrible idea throwing the boots around like a kid....tossing his toys mad, breaking stuff. In hindsight, he did have practidal review points worth watching. What I am curious about and wish somebody would answer is there a difference between trail riding boots and highway riding boots?
Trail boots have a stiffer upper and sole, and usually have more plastic armor. Obviously you can wear them on the Highway and be more protected, but you pretty much have to take them off to walk in and get a hamburger. Most trail riders prefer non waterproof boots for breathability. For long distance riding you do want waterproof boots.
Not really trying to be masculine. Lol. More lighthearted entertainment. Oh well, different strokes for different folks. I am glad you liked some of the info though!!! As for trail vs road, trail boots tend to have more crush/impact protection vs road boots that tend to lean more towards slide protection and abrasion resistance.
Planning to buy these. How is the built & quality on these ? How is the waterproof layering holding up ? What life do ya expect for these in terms or touring & mild off-roading ? Considering the specs I guess these are one of the best in terms of Looks/Protection/Comfort/Waterproofing out there in the market. I had TCX Baja GTX, Forma Terra Adv & AS tech 7 enduro also on mind. Which ya think will be an all season touring boot with good protection as well as life. ? I’m more confused between the Tech 7 Enduro & Toucans.
Hello GetAway Moto, great video man, maybe one of this days you can make a video about Alpinestars Sequence Body Armour Chest Protector, I don`t know much about to be honest, thank you.
Was thinking about getting the Alpinestar Corozol, I do both road and off road on my WR, anyone know if that boot is worth it in term of protection/comfortability? I'm not used to off road yet so not very aggressive.
70 on gravel, and in a turn. Yikes. Did your ankle completely heal up from that lowside 7 years ago? Am getting a baby ADV, a CB500X, and looking at options in that type of boot, something between "touring" and dirt. I'll be riding 80/20 road/gravel.
@madogblue I have not had any problems with them. I have had them a little over a year and I have not been easy on them. Other than a few scuffs they are solid.
Broken ankles are no joke. I am a little over a year out from my brake and now the docs are talking about amputating my foot because of damage of the cartilage in my ankle. Heal up and ware boots!!
@@integrityinkapparel5383 I know right guys, broke several bones in my foot after falling. I am now taking the most armored up boots possible. This is not a joking matter. Be smart
Lying in bed got a crush tibia plateau after my baby landed on the left inner side of my right knee...up til now I wore ice climbing boots...would any boot have saved my knee or you think knee braces?Can you recommend any knee braces?...How long will I be in plaster on crutches...stuck in eastern europe for a while which aint too bad I suppose...and got internet...cheers for the info...kept on thinking these MX boots either dont fit...too narrow or too expensive...
Man, I am sorry to hear about that. looks like you should be out of the cast by the time you read this but I was in one for about 6 weeks. As for knee braces, I don't usually wear them but I do really like my Mobius X8. I put them on out at the track and if I know I am going into some pretty technical areas. I used to have the A-Star Fluid but I found the X8 to be more comfortable. Thanks for watching and stay safe!
TheKingOfTheWorld sorry man, new job. I have been too busy to put any edits together. I am working on creating more content though and spinning it back up.
Pulling out of a parking lot on a big heavy cruiser, about 10 mph. Floorboard scraped and something grabbed the outside of my foot, twisted it, broke tibia and fibula. Went down when I stopped and tried to put my foot down. Ankle was fine. Rods and screws. Any sort of boot to keep your foot from twisting your leg in half?
Well, unfortunately twisting is hard to prevent. The most effective options I have seen are boots with internal hard ankle braces like the Astar tech10.
Skinny Binny that is a hard question to answer. Could be lucky and walk away unscathed, could sprain or break it, or could get ripped clean off. Lots of variables contribute to injury.
Hey, how do you rate Alpine Tucans after few years? My Tech3 broke down after a year of use :-( The shoe on the bend fell apart, the material cracked, I am thinking now about buying an Alpine Tucan, maybe GORETEX will be more durable?
I fell with 50-60km/h on a ride with hiking boots. Broke both my tibia and fibula. I have a big plate and many screws now. I just bought Sidi ADventure 2. Buy good boots guys
Lol…. Sorry sometimes I forget that not everyone is as technically minded as I am. Sometimes I find myself using highly technical terms like “thing” and “whatsit”… I will get better my friend. 😂
You can, but I prefer the dexterity of dedicated road boots, depending on what I am riding. What you are wearing will also limit what boots you run on the road. Things like full leathers, Kevlar jeans, and any shin/leg protection might limit your boot options.
Yeah, wrecked doing 70 mph. The point was that it would have been a lot worse if I hadn’t had them on. When you hit that hard there is a good chance you are going to get hurt. Good gear will help keep injuries to a minimum.
Hi Guys, Any of you have any experience with Scott boots? I am thinking abut changing my TCX city boots to a Scott 2016 550 MX and would like to know if its good or not... www.scott-sports.com/gb/en/page/mx-550-boot. Also this video was quite good, I broke both sides of my left foot wearing sneakers, going with about 20mph, slipping on oil. Bye-bye comfortable riding, welcome safe riding ;)
My problem is my new super cross boots are so stiff.I have to pick my whole foot up to shift!!! I would rather wear Tennis shoes. My. Saucony Shoes, best shoes I've ever owned. That's all I buy.

At least it wasn't saddles lol
@@oscarbear7498 , you are right, falling off a horse is no fun, either.
20 years ago I spent a whole summer in a cast and not walking right because the GSXR 750 landed on my left ankle...MX boots all day everyday since then!
You dress it everyday it means not only for motocross ?
LOL - Like how you throw them on the floor like that, I would too when they don't sponsor your videos! Made my day.
Lol. They are all tough…. If they can’t handle a 5 foot drop with no weight or velocity, I don’t trust them to protect me ;-)
Thank you! Great info from a personal view, just what I needed. I am only on my second pair of actual moto boots, Tech 3 MX, before that was Forma Adventure. I moved up to more protection, less walking/shifting comfort. The adjustment is going slowly.
spot on bruv, I would'nt skimp on decent bike boots but if they are resoled what a treat, definitely worth extra expense.
So, I also have the Toucan. I had one crash in it came out with a sprained ankle. Which made me realise that the boot can give more ankle protection. Hence, I bought the Crossfire 2 for more protection. I wish they are waterproof like the Toucan.
Also ended up with a terribly sprained ankle in the Toucan. Kind of disappointing after the cost and expectations.

Just had a very similar injury, twisted ankle outward 180', bike landing on it, no boots. Was going very slow, still tore up my ligaments.
So, how did you get back to help after breaking your ankle?
I was lucky to be riding with friends. When I did not show up to the next checkpoint they turned back to get me. That was a very long ride in a very bumpy Polaris Ranger!!!
What do you think about wearing crocs?🤔
Only on vintage 3 wheelers.... and you have to have the little charms in them.

Very well presented. Like it a lot! Thanks so much!
70 on gravel, and in a turn. Yikes.
Did your ankle completely heal up from that lowside 7 years ago?
Am getting a baby ADV, a CB500X, and looking at options in that type of boot, something between "touring" and dirt. I'll be riding 80/20 road/gravel.

Thanks!!! My ankles and legs go through enough abuse. No need to have them smashed as well!!
I have read the seams on the Toucan boos fail. Have you had any seams letting go?

Hmmm wearing out the "middle of the boot" means your feet are not placed correctly on the foot pegs .
Where do your boots wear when you manipulate the lower controls?
what do you think of Timbaland botts?
I wouldn’t recommend them for riding. Just not enough protection or support.

Hi, thanks for the review! What do you think of BMW GS Pro comparing to Toucan, regardless Gore-tex..? Thanks!
Unfortunately I don’t have any first hand experience with the GS pro
@@getawaymoto2495 what happened to the channel man?
TheKingOfTheWorld sorry man, new job. I have been too busy to put any edits together. I am working on creating more content though and spinning it back up.
@@getawaymoto2495 Good to hear! You are well spoken with good quality videos! 👍Look forward to the new videos!
GetAway Moto make a video on your adventure gear pls
I've had a peg rip a hole right through a regular workboot right in my leg and it also snapped my ankle
Yup, it is always best to run proper riding boots. Thanks for watching!!
15 subs good job
Pulling out of a parking lot on a big heavy cruiser, about 10 mph. Floorboard scraped and something grabbed the outside of my foot, twisted it, broke tibia and fibula. Went down when I stopped and tried to put my foot down. Ankle was fine. Rods and screws. Any sort of boot to keep your foot from twisting your leg in half?
A flat floor scooter. Available with engines up to 300 cu. cm. (26HP).
Well, unfortunately twisting is hard to prevent. The most effective options I have seen are boots with internal hard ankle braces like the Astar tech10.
My fave vidon moto boots.
Liked ur style.Subbed
What could happend to my foot in a crash without motocross boots
Skinny Binny that is a hard question to answer. Could be lucky and walk away unscathed, could sprain or break it, or could get ripped clean off. Lots of variables contribute to injury.
@@getawaymoto2495 good i bought new motocross boots, my old didnt even fit so i drove with shoes on.
GetAway Moto im gonna buy motocross boots because they look the best and offer the best protection and i need that in case i loop my bike
Hey, how do you rate Alpine Tucans after few years? My Tech3 broke down after a year of use :-(
The shoe on the bend fell apart, the material cracked, I am thinking now about buying an Alpine Tucan, maybe GORETEX will be more durable?
I love them. That first pair even after the wreak are still going strong. 100% would recommend!!!
No Laces,laces can get caught on shift lever or rear brake.of course any real boot is better than a regular shoe.
I fell with 50-60km/h on a ride with hiking boots. Broke both my tibia and fibula. I have a big plate and many screws now.
I just bought Sidi ADventure 2. Buy good boots guys
100% agree!!
I had my shinbone reaching for air through my pants. I will not consider buying any boot which isn't tall enough and without shin-protection.
Before this i rode with sneakers and broke my fibula on a motorcross bike. And yes the boot sucks when you break it
Wonderful video, but please don't use such technical medical terms like "Twisty Pushy" 6:15 I had to stop the video and google it. Glad you recovered.
Lol…. Sorry sometimes I forget that not everyone is as technically minded as I am. Sometimes I find myself using highly technical terms like “thing” and “whatsit”… I will get better my friend. 😂
can I wear mc boots on street bikes?
You can, but I prefer the dexterity of dedicated road boots, depending on what I am riding. What you are wearing will also limit what boots you run on the road. Things like full leathers, Kevlar jeans, and any shin/leg protection might limit your boot options.
@@getawaymoto2495 side question, can I wear full leathers on the street for example when commuting in highways about 60 miles?
@@DanielVazquez sure can!!! That would offer fantastic protection for your commute… depending on where you live it might be a little warm ;-)
This guy recommend mc boots for best protection. Than he tell us how he got a broken leg and foot while wearing top end mc boots. Funny :)
Yeah, wrecked doing 70 mph. The point was that it would have been a lot worse if I hadn’t had them on. When you hit that hard there is a good chance you are going to get hurt. Good gear will help keep injuries to a minimum.
@@getawaymoto2495 I'm with you! I just thought it was funny. Hope your leg is ok!
Toucans are “adventure” boots, not motocross boots. The tech 7 and 10 are motocross boots and much more protective.
Wear your boots guys. I have a hole in my foot now
Cristian Portillo what happened?
My friends tell me the best boot is called a Volvo?
Scania.
i like talkin specifics
Hi Guys, Any of you have any experience with Scott boots? I am thinking abut changing my TCX city boots to a Scott 2016 550 MX and would like to know if its good or not... www.scott-sports.com/gb/en/page/mx-550-boot. Also this video was quite good, I broke both sides of my left foot wearing sneakers, going with about 20mph, slipping on oil. Bye-bye comfortable riding, welcome safe riding ;)
If you restrict your ankle too much, your knee will take more of the pressure and you risk knee injury
Now they have air bags.
I'm stupid 😂 I thought this was for motocross🤦♂️

I thought I clicked on a fortnite stream... idk why Im here, I don't even have a bike😐
So no flip flops then 🤔 got it 😊
My problem is my new super cross boots are so stiff.I have to pick my whole foot up to shift!!! I would rather wear Tennis shoes. My. Saucony Shoes, best shoes I've ever owned. That's all I buy.

@5:28 😬
Good luck with recovery
Great info but what the hell are you doing 70 on gravel for?? Your lucky you didn't lose your leg!!
Motorcycles are unbalanced things avoid them use a car for protection
Mine seem to balance pretty well. Every time I have gone down it was because of something I did. Bikes dont want to crash any more than we do ;-)
All I can say is SG12 and don't look back.

Don't trust the tech 7. You'll be disappointed, especially if you ride a dual sport.
I did not use them on my dual sports. I have since changed over to the Tech 10.
@@kf7razcoms303 Sad to know how I've learned that those boots can't really protect your foot...
What about tech 6
@@TheLostAdventuress I've never tried them
Have since gone over to T10 for the heavy dirt.
Tibia or fibula? No such bone as fibia.
Both 😉
Hahahaha take 74.....🎬
"Redwings" lol ... .... Are there any other millinials who knew a different meaning for that hahah?
Yea buddy I got mine!!! 🩸🪽
70 miles an hour on a gravel fire-road is not a good idea.
Especially around a turn
Break*
lol
Break and brake are two very different words bro!
Well nobody ever accused me of being good at spelling
funny lol
Great intelligent review but, you "break" your leg and you "brake" your bike. Check your title.
Braking my bike caused me to break my leg.... Fixed it!!
