The T-6 is my all time favorite boot. They will break in some, but they are stiff for a reason. That is what will save your foot when you run over it!

Yeah I wore mine to school too, but forgot to bring some other shoes for pe. I tried convincing my teacher they were soccer goalie boots but he didnt buy it. I sat in the office the rest of the hour......

Just sounds like a bad experience with cheaper boots. Buying boots under around $200 are bound to have problems. I have had Fox Forma Pro's for around 6 months now, they are light and broke in easily, and still perform like new.

the buckles broke and the sole's wore out before you could evean flex your ankle enough to shift without using your leg.

Hey ya'll, I just bought some Alpine Stars Tech-6 boots and I'm wondering how long it will take them to break in. I put them on last night and seemed like it was going to be hard to shift since I could barely move my ankle. I paid 169.99 for them so I think got a pretty decent price...So anyway, how long did you gusy to break yours in?
Posted by: AlphaRaptor660R
lol...to school, are you serious? That's pretty funny. I don't think I could wear them to work but I'll put them on when I get home...
Posted by: AlphaRaptor660R
Well, hopefully these will last me a while. The main reason I bought them was to protect my ankles. I also injured my ankle when I broke my collar bone a couple of months ago and I thought if I had some riding boots I wouldn't have hurt it.

i got some t-30's recently and they are awesome. only took me about 4 or 5 rides until i could shift just fine. i love them though, they make a huge difference

i've had my A-star tech 4's for over a year with LOTS of riding time on them and not a single problem yet.
