[ Ссылка ] [ Ссылка ] Which brand makes the best off road motorbike boots? Does quality matter that much with motocross boots? Which brands will last the longest? Spoiler, we rate boots in this order: Gaerne, Forma, Alpinestar, Sidi and Fox. First, don't trust the vast majority of bike gear reviews. In almost every case they are getting kickbacks in one way or another. Maybe you shouldn't. Judge for yourself by the end. Data included all boots but these featured a lot: Gaerne SG10 and SG12, Forma Predator, Fox Instinct and Comp, Alpinestar Tech 3, Tech 5 and Tech 10, and Sidi Crossfire. Here is our ranking for the best enduro boot brands. This is based on hundreds of user's comments collected over 12 months, and whether the rider was happy or disappointed with their long term use. Also see our Fox Instinct boot review link. And the Forma Predator review too. It focuses on comments just within the last few years, as the quality of some brands appears to have dropped a lot recently. How reliable are these figures? Most of the negative comments were centred on a faulty production run a few years ago, where Gaerne admitted their mistake and replaced faulty enduro boots. In most cases, the best motorbike boots reviewer just want to make money and has no problem with advising you buy Chinese made crap if it benefits them. Why should you trust this review? What about the best adventure boots? Forma have developed a very good reputation for themselves, especially the Forma Predator boot. Alpinestar used to be the market leader years ago with Italian made enduro boots. Without conducting a huge study with detailed questionnaires it's old a rough guide to the best motocross boots. But after talking with dozens of riders worldwide about boots over the past year I think it's a fair summary. We just looked at Forma Predator, Gaerne SG12, Alpinestar Tech 10, Sidi Crossfire and Fox Instinct boots because we didn't have enough data for other brands. The Italians have always made superb off road motorbike boots. And Gaerne has retained their best motorbike boots reputation by keeping their factories within Italy. But their reputation has slowly been on the decline since production went offshore to Thailand and Croatia for the Alpinestar Tech 3, Tech 5 and Tech 10. All off the comments about Fox enduro boots centred on those made in China, whether it was the Instinct boots or cheaper Comp range. These were an exceptionally good boot when the pricing was so low, but they have increased the price as their reputation rose. Years ago Sidi was widely seen as being the equivalent of Gaerne, and a bit cheaper too. But many have commented about an apparent drop in quality over the years. A lot of the criticism is centred on their Sidi Crossfire SRS boots which are made in Italy, the TA models with the stitched sole have less complaints about still appear to have suffered in recent years. In Australia, the latest Comp motocross boots are marked made in Thailand now. Whether this leads to an improvement, time will tell. What about other brands? Unfortunately I couldn't get enough comments on other brands to provide reliable feedback. However, I think there's a strong correlation between quality and where the motocross boot is manufactured. Leatt boots? Made in China. Answer boots? Made in China. Oneal boots? Made in China. Fly boots? Plenty of guys sell them cheap when they realise they don't fit well. Focus on Gaerne SG10 and SG12, Forma Predator, Fox Instinct, Alpinestar Tech 10, and Sidi Crossfire at the very least. Much of this is just my opinion of course, but the feedback from hundreds of owners might help you decide what to buy next. Keen to hear your thoughts? What has worked for you in the past? What didn't? Do you think quality matters? Let us know in the comments. Made in China, although their premium Maverick boot is made in Myanmar, of all places. And TCX appear to make some of their motocross boots in China, some in Romania. Points to remember? First, you will find riders who are very happy with cheap Chinese made boots. Second, how well do those cheap enduro boots protect you when it really counts? Third, a good boot isn't expensive in the long run if you want the best motocross boot. There are some guys still using Gaerne boots after 10 and even 20 years. Cheap boots have a lot of flexibility built in so they feel comfortable, but it means less protection. Premium boots have features like ankle pivot points and extra padding so they are comfortable and have great protection too. If you are on a strict budget, I think it's way better to buy the best motorbike boots secondhand instead of Chinese made boots.
