I had a pair of fox boots and the buckle broke on the boots with only 3 rides on the boots. I tried to have fox warranty out the buckle for me since they were still very new, but they wouldn't, so now I have 2 pairs of tech 10 boots and I love them. They don't fall apart either.

@shaynebrown131 6 месяцев назад

Alpinestars soles last as long as toilet paper lol

@alexanderbannister9519 6 месяцев назад

That's why they make replacement soles for them.

@christophervillarreal8565 6 месяцев назад

Tech 10 are the best I’ve had both of these and the instincts folded pretty bad having the toe box hit my shins over shooting a 100 foot jump. The tech 10s offer more support and resistance against that issue and if I’m going to be sending the big jumps I want the most protection. Will never use another boot again.

@@mitchrunyan6096 unfortunately, Eli Tomac modified his boots and that’s why he ruptured his Achilles. A lot of the pros cut out a protective piece to add more flexion to the tech 10s.

The opposite happened to be, came up short on a 90’ triple in tech 10s. Broke my ankle and tore 2 ligaments in tech 10s. Switched to the new instincts for a year or so, and recently switched back to 10s. Could be luck, coincidence or whatever- tech 10s feel stiffer, but I’ve now injured my ankle twice in them and never in the instincts.

@christophervillarreal8565 6 месяцев назад

@@xprocharged1 coming up short on a 90’ triple will most likely wreck you no matter what boot you’re in but I’ve tried several and the fox instinct was my favorite until it bit me hard that day both toes smacked my shins and sprained both ankles. Never went back to them. Had some tech 7s I’ll never touch again either bailed off a step up and landed on the down side thinking I was going to be just fine and the boot creased where it’s suppose to except the plastic drove into the soft material and crushed my foot leaving me with 3rd degree sprains. The only boot I’ve never had a single issue with over shooting, coming up short etc are the newer tech 10s that have that triple rib protector to stop over extension of the Achilles no other boot has it and no other boot offers that same level of protection period there’s a reason 99% of the pros ride tech 10s and nothing else. If you’re woods riding then sure have at the most comfortable boot you want but nothing will come close to tech 10s.

That was a really good, thorough review from Jeff. Idk why but I wasn't really expecting that. I knew he was going to pick the Fox boots but he was honest about all the feedback each boot gives. I've had both, I prefer the Tech 10's and have been wearing them for about ten years now. It definitely helps if you can go to a dealer and just see which one feels better for your feet.

@michaelratanakul4964 6 месяцев назад

I've had just about every popular motocross boot in the past (TECH 10, FOX Instinct, SIDI, Gaerne,...) and the FOX Instinct are by far the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. The old ones got really loose after a while and the new ones feel noticeably stiffer, which is a big improvement.

@mxslick50 6 месяцев назад

I have run Alpinestars (Tech 3's in the 90's and currently Tech 7) most of my riding "career" with a short detour with Gaerne boots for a few years. I love virtually everything about the A stars, they have held up very well, break in reasonably fast, and provide excellent support. The only downside to the Astars (that did not happen with the Gaerne) is that they get smelly really fast. I have tried everything but to no help. (other riders have told me they have that same issue with their Tech 7/10's) But if being protected and confident on my bike means I have to put up with smelly boots, I'll take the smell every time. My buddy runs the Fox Instincts, and I felt that they lacked support and especially soles felt really weak.

@steyels 6 месяцев назад

Invest in a pair of merino wool socks. Your sweat won’t absorb into the boot as much and I guarantee it’s unlikely they’d smell

@lukeirmer5316 6 месяцев назад

I won't buy anything but the instincts. They are the best boot out of the box. Virtually no differences between broken in and new. They hold up great and have replacement parts. The new buckle design is a lot better. Im glad they sized up slightly, because my old version was very tight and I was worried i was going to have to size, but with thinner socks it worked out. The new sizing was perfect, i wear an 11 across the board in vans and work boots. The new 11 was spot on. The boots grip the frame very well, and above the ankle. The tech 10s have bulky ankles which doesn't allow the leg to rest against the bike as well as the foxs. You guys can keep your stiff as a board boots, I like actual comfort without compromising safety. Good review.

@motoprofessor3546 2 месяца назад

My beloved Tech 8's finally fell apart and I nearly cried when I had to throw them away. They were the best fitting boots I ever owned for my wide foot. I bought a pair of vented Tech 10's on Ebay for a smoking deal. I could not get my right foot into the boot. I never had to remove the boottie in my 8"s to put them on, but I did with the 10's. I realized the booties had vented inserts in them so I removed them and my foot slid in, but my right foot was snug and I could barely walk in them. I needed to pressure wash my deck so I put on the boots and spent the next few hours wearing them while washing the deck. They did loosen up a bit but at times, I nearly removed them because of the pressure on my small toe. I haven't ridden in them yet and hope they feel better after break in.

@andrewmarshall360 6 месяцев назад

@TheDeepsilver 6 месяцев назад

In terms of pure protection, nothing beats the Tech10s. I've had Gaerne (SG12 & 22), SIDI Crossfires and while both of them are more comfortable, especially out of the box, the Tech10's keep your ankles so much safer. If you value comfort over protection, I think I would stay clear of the Tech10's but if you value protection over comfort, Tech10's all the way.

Just switched from fox instinct to alpinestars tech 7, the tech 7 is supposed to be a softer feeling boot than the tech 10, but they still feel stiffer than morning wood when compared to the fox instinct. The fox boots lasted around 25 hours on stock ktm pegs before the soles were completely smoked, and i went through the red layer on the sole so they couldn't be re-soled. I have about 12hrs on the tech 7s, and so far, they still look and feel new other than a little sole wear.

@jeremiahlewis9288 6 месяцев назад

I’ve always felt with Alpinestars I had to “rock” in order to shift but when landing feet feel planted and less of a “shock” to my body. Agree with Jeff about the pinch feeling in ankles when gripping. Instincts I could never wear because the toe box was tight and made my feet go numb even with two sizes bigger than my shoes. Switched back to Gearne and they are comfortable in all aspects. And I like the price better with Gearne

@JoshPelley246 6 месяцев назад

i used to ride the instincts until i broke my foot in 7 place including my ankle now moving over to Alpinestars i’ve noticed going deep on a jump the rigidity of the ankle saves you at times when other wise the instinct is good boot i just personally feel safer in alpinestars
