Dude, Gaerne SG 12 and SG 10 are the best offroad boots. Also Alpinestars Tech 10 are huge! Couldn't agree more on the Tech 7's. Price wise they are excellent.
fish out of water I have not looked into the cost of replacement parts but that could be a real issue. Could be the difference between cost effective or just paying that exorbitant initial cost multiple times.
How do you feel about motocross boots for street riding? I have a supermoto, I've heard the Sidi Crossfire boots are common among these group of riders who use MX boots for the street.
The Thor boots only lasted a bit the plastic brown piece has become brittle and broke at the stitching from the heat cycles on the pipe (2 stroke) the right only so it must be the heat from the pipe
Beyond Amazing, been riding MX for 20 years, I hated my Fox Forma Pro's in the late 90's. When it came time to try the Fox Instincts, I was skeptical. The one feature that made me try them? No velcro ANYWHERE. Tried them, love them, feel insanely protected in them.
I broke my foot at metatarsal wearing Oneal Riders when bike landed on me - want to get boot that offers better protection for trail riding only are alpinestar tech 3 or 7 good enough? Offer good toe protection?
Thor Blitz LS Boots I am interested in these boots for light trail and dual purpose street riding out in country.. He said they are no good for pavement road riding and said something about sliding down the highway. ????
Kickshifting is when you either don't have time to get your foot all the way back on the peg, or your body position is such that you can't get your toe under the shifter to catch the next upshift. So, you use the backside of the heel to kick the front edge of the shifter up vs lifting it with your toe.
I would steer clear from short boots for the trails. I actually use some steel toe, steel shank work boots with some reinforcement that extends over the ankle. Very much a short motorcycle boot with a personal safety price. Just a few days ago I took an awkward tumble where I went sideways over the bars, and the tip of my foot got snagged in the *very* loose dirt. I actually felt a loud *POP* when my body rotated and my ankle didn't. Luckily it was just a sprain (which is nearly better), but my ankle could've easily been dislocated in a stupid 2km/h crash that my (NEW, NEVER GOD DAMNED USED) moose raing m1.2's would've prevented. For the street I'll keep using the short boots. But if the trails are in any shape or form in the menu, I'll just take the mooses.
I wish a Moto cross boot company would provide a boot that is shaped like the human foot and not cramping the toes. I ride with keen boots because of that right now.
Your lowest best boot should have included the O'neal rider boots. Same features as the Thor boot, however is about $80 cheaper. Then you should have added the Fox Comp 5 boot in between which is $200 and offers one piece cockpit like the Alpinestars, a soft interior and controlled fit, while being more pliable out of the box for enduro riders under thats $300 price-point. Then you have the Tech 7 which is great and the Sidi which is great. I honestly do not enjoy your videos anymore since i have been more technically inclined with moto gear working at a gear shop. Everything you review is sponsored and many times misleading due to that. There are so many options out there and to choose these and not others for a video that the world would see is below my expectations for this channel honestly.
The tech 7 calves are not wide on normal sized legs if anyone else was warded off by that, Ryan's legs are tiny. I'm 6' 190 lbs, I don't skip leg day but my legs are far from jacked. The tech 7 in size 10 only closes over half the velcro patch on my calves. BTW he doesn't mention break in regarding comfort. My tech 7's took a couple weeks of daily riding to fully break in and become comfortable, which they are very now. Upfront they were pretty stiff, this could have influenced his review.
+Brian Patterson Riding style will have a lot to do with that. I had both on my boots and never had the front smashed in. My buddy on the other hand the metal bits were gone within a couple rides.

Yes please
4:25 because you're supposed to use knee braces and motocross pants with them. No gap at all when you're fully geared up

+On2Wheels Yesss, I've been itching to get my hands on a pair of SG-12s for a while. Hopefully this season, then I can review them ASAP. ~RyanF9
FortNine where u doing the best boots or two bad boots and two good boots
@@FortNine when? Please 😅
Sidi is the best, ive owned them all and Sidi lasts the longest. Great comfort level as well. Also this years Alpine stars boots fall apart.
I love my Tech 7's for all types of adventure rides! They do make a Tech 7 Drymax which will be my next boot.
i really really like the fact that sidi crossfires have an entirely replaceable set of parts
fish out of water I have not looked into the cost of replacement parts but that could be a real issue. Could be the difference between cost effective or just paying that exorbitant initial cost multiple times.
I have a pair since 2004. I'm still using it.
Which boot are you talking about?
Do you think you could do a video on what you think are the best overall dualsport bikes? Would really appreciate it.

It's totally fine. More protection than most street boots, actually. ~RF9
Sidi are great except both mine and my friend's soles came unstuck. I have the crossfires
Someone start a fundraiser so we can buy Ryan F9 those SIDI boots; he deserves it after all the quality content he provides us for free.
He wouldn't wear them. Watch his adv boots video.
The big gap is for knee braces buddy
It's why you shouldn't skip leg day
Huh. Fair enough.
Maybe a Vid about Kick Shifting would be onteresting i never found anything about it
Any reason you left out Forma boots? I wear the TX Terrain Enduro boots. Very light weight and they have a hinged ankle for sub $300.00. Great boot.
Please make a video on what safety gears to ride for Motocross or Dirt Biking.
Thank you in Advance
Informative, intelligent presentation. Low on hype and bs, high on informatiion as well as interpretation.
Hey Ryan,
Could you please do a best pressure suit review video? I'm trying to decide on which one I should get. Thanks
Hello! Yep, I've got a video scheduled with some pressure suits in it. Still waiting on some gear to film it, though. ~RyanF9
+FortNine would you be able to review the leatt 5.5 and tht fox suiton the vid? thanks for the quick reply.
The Thor boots only lasted a bit the plastic brown piece has become brittle and broke at the stitching from the heat cycles on the pipe (2 stroke) the right only so it must be the heat from the pipe
I have tech 7 and if the top of boot was smaller I’d have trouble fitting my knee braces , maybe that’s why there’s a gap
Those gaps between your legs and the Tech7's boots are there because there meant to be worn with knee braces ; you need more space to fit them
Would you be able to make a new version of this with current boots?
Fox instinct is amazing
Beyond Amazing, been riding MX for 20 years, I hated my Fox Forma Pro's in the late 90's. When it came time to try the Fox Instincts, I was skeptical. The one feature that made me try them? No velcro ANYWHERE. Tried them, love them, feel insanely protected in them.
Are they good for street and on pavement riding for a supermoto?
the Thor boots look similar to the O'Neal rider boots. mine was 123 dollars and I love them
I broke my foot at metatarsal wearing Oneal Riders when bike landed on me - want to get boot that offers better protection for trail riding only are alpinestar tech 3 or 7 good enough? Offer good toe protection?
We could do with an updated version of this one. Most of the models are no longer available or have had updates. Add ADV category. What do you say?
the highest price I've seen Sidi CF-2srs advertised online is $545... I paid $330 for mine...
545 American, not Canadian...
Where did you get your Sidis?
Why does the footage of you pressing the brakes with the boots show the brake on the left side of the bike?
I’m curious as to whether replacement parts are still available to the guy who had just paid off his loan on the Sidis? 😉
ordered the Thor ls for street riding a few days ago. haven't heard your review yet as while im typing this im halfway through this video lol
Thor Blitz LS Boots I am interested in these boots for light trail and dual purpose street riding out in country.. He said they are no good for pavement road riding and said something about sliding down the highway. ????
I have a pit bike that fits me because I'm only 12 should I go with the Thor blitz CE or LS
If you ride it aggressively, get the CE. Small bikes can bite your shins just as well as the big ones. ~RyanF9
Ok. thanks for the fast response
broke rides hello your 14 year old self how much have you changed
going to get sidis crossfire 3
Can someone tell me what is kick shifting. Couldn't find anything on it.
Kickshifting is when you either don't have time to get your foot all the way back on the peg, or your body position is such that you can't get your toe under the shifter to catch the next upshift.

@@shinyribs2178 Ah, makes sense. Thanks! :)
@@Ricqu Happy to help!
How about the Gaerne SG-12?
Amazing bro
2021enduro tech 7s or toucan boot?
i know this is an old video but what would the best moto boot be for a wide foot
Thank you.
I would steer clear from short boots for the trails. I actually use some steel toe, steel shank work boots with some reinforcement that extends over the ankle. Very much a short motorcycle boot with a personal safety price.

what is quick shifting?
Ello, I just wanted to know what you do for a living, and great videos by the way
+NC320 Thanks! I'm a staff writer here at Canada's Motorcycle (soon to be FortNine). ~RyanF9
+FortNine That's pretty cool! Well, hope to see more great content, and keep up the great work.
I wish a Moto cross boot company would provide a boot that is shaped like the human foot and not cramping the toes. I ride with keen boots because of that right now.
Do you ride mx or enduro.
Both, but I ride enduro a lot more often. Kinda suck at MX. ~RyanF9
The calf gap is so it can accept knee brace
No SG12?
Ryan, stop playing around..you know we cruisers wanna see you do some chaps reviews lol. male and female please
If you buy them Sidis for $800+ you are getting massively ripped off because the Crossfire normally costs around $479.99
VlogsWithDev pretty sure he's talking about CAD not USD
When did fort nine get bought out by revzilla?

Buying is not investing. Unless you are buying investments. ;)
nolarocks I think saftey gear is an exception if it is used.
Less doctor bills!
You do invest in safety and avoiding medical bills/lifelong injury
It is an absolute investment. Keeping thousands upon thousands of medical and rehab bills at bay.
Hey are you son of Hollywood actor,?
The calf’s are wide? Ya for a fu_kn knee brace, anyone spending 400$ on boots have at least cheap braces?
No Alpinestars Tech10? I have lost faith in u my dude...
I doubt you've ever ridden offroad. metal toe caps get used at the time and smashed in
+Brian Patterson Riding style will have a lot to do with that. I had both on my boots and never had the front smashed in. My buddy on the other hand the metal bits were gone within a couple rides.
Ridiculous money for a pair of boots. You can buy a car for the price of the SRS. No thanks!
It's funny how much you pay and still have to replace every few years bc the break down stretch
Those Sidi's are not anywhere near $800.
Be Lieve it's an old video
800 CAD, this is a Canadian channel.
