Great video! I wish manufacturer's did videos like this, but they never want to make their product look inferior, even against their own stuff. Please make more videos like.
I've had 2 pairs of alpinestar tech 8s, the first pair I bought in 1998, they are still going and in good shape, 2 nd pair I got in 2007 and they are still like new ( sold them when our track closed and in depression I sold everything and bought a stupid HARLEY) So last summer I bought a new pair of FOX comp 5 enduro mx boots, total JUNK.... fell apart in 4 rides. So I'm back in my tech 8s from 1998 .
I have that era tech 8 also, when they were still made in Italy. Also a pair from early 2000s, manufactured in Croatia. Still a good boot, my "daily set", but just a notch below the Italian made pair. I think a stars are now made in Thailand. Stick with your '98 model
Just new to the moto game from forty years (that is not a misprint) of hardcore MTB trail and travel. I really appreciate the candor and honesty of VitalMX reviews. I can tell, y'all use the stuff and beat the livin snot out of things every day, and I'm a Boomer who listens LOL OMFG bikes are SOOOOOO freakin much better when I was young! Safety, too! Great time to get back in it. Thanks for all the content, and thank you for confirming my fear of wackin my Achilles and not having enough pro on the back of the boot. Upped my boots level because of it. It's not a silly fear anymore.
VERY, VERY Helpful! Thank you. I've been thinking about the Tech 10's for my next set, but with your review, I see the 7's will probably do me just fine. I've been wearing Tech 8's for about 15 years, and was totally bummed that Alpinestars shutdown that product line. I need buckle straps! I may send in my Tech 8s to Alpinestars for their repair service. I'm on the fence between new boots and repair of my current pair. Alpinestars has a fantastic repair service, very fairly priced.
“If you don’t need all the protection”... so wtf is the point of a boot then? Buy the best you can afford. When you do fall hard you’ll know why you did.
@jimh2061 - I can only speak to my 2006 Alpinestar Tech8 MX Boots. I switched over from a GasGas EC300 2 Stroke Dirtbike to a Yamaha Grizzly 660 ATV in 2008. During a rocky trail section, my left foot got pinned between my ATV rear tire and a rock. The ATV was leaning towards my foot, not only was it jammed, but a 500lb ATV was resting on it. My buddies where able to help me get unstuck and my Left foot / leg / ankle where 100% OK! I am in need of new boots, and I am going to get the Tech 7 Enduro Drystars - 17 years better technology! Get the Tech 7's and you'll be just fine. On a side note, my ATV riding buddies all went out the next day and bought MX riding boots, 1 buddy bought the Tech 8's specifically.
Love my tech 3’s but I just had a strap rip off after only about 6 rides. Just in the process of claiming warranty however I’m not confident they will come to the party. I hope so as I was literally telling all my mates how happy I was with them.
got tech 7 and 5. For the 5 first ride the paint started to peel off from the tow area. From my tech 7 after 5 rides my soles glue us coming undone. Not really happy about spending soo much money have this crappy build quality....
Nonsense tech 8 is the most winning motocross boot of all time and they still make them in regular and Light versions, best Mx boots ever made I’ll get another set when my 7s are toast.
Do you have the current tech 7's or the older model? I had the older model and they got wet so easily but my buddy says the new ones don't get wet as easily
@@dawn-moon the current version came out about 5 years. From researching just now it seems the current version is alot more durable, if yours are getting water try spraying with a water repellent or using boot wax, concentrate on the stitching and leather area
They are all junk. Try the sidi boots. More protection, they flex without sacking out and most parts are replaceable. Alpinestar sponsors 90% of guys on bikes, that’s the only reason to wear them.

Tech 5’s are awesome boots for the money. 5 years on mine and still holding up great.
Good just ordered a pair yesterday
Finally a video comparing them all
Can often find last year's tech 7 styles for under $300 really a no brainer in my book
Thank you. Most reviews are afraid to offend the manufacturer and be a shill. Thanks for honesty and real info.
Best video explaining the pros/cons and differences between Tech 5/7/10. Thanks.
Great video! I wish manufacturer's did videos like this, but they never want to make their product look inferior, even against their own stuff. Please make more videos like.
Tech-7 for the win !!! Tech 10 feel to big, i was missing shifts
Shut the fuck up u must be a a beginner
axel velasquez lol sounds like someone got finessed for tech 10 with annoying inner booties
@@MrLuckymimi Fuck off kid you probably ride c class
Moto 346 😂 I’ll see you on the track buddy
@@axelvelasquez9343 aww someone’s pissed cause they didn’t get the 10s. Grow the fuck up and it’s their opinion you can control them you idiot 😂

Good stuff I have the Tech 7 it has been a good boot for me.
Tried the 10s for a while and there good but I'll stick with my crossfire 3s forever.
incredibly helpful. thank you. I think i'll get the 10s but if the comfort just isnt there i'll go for the 7s
Wide Feets + Casual Rider = Tech 5
Thanks brother!!! 💪🏻😊😊😊😊😊👍🏻
I love my tech 7 I would like to try the tech 10s when I get my next set tho
Happy with my tech 1
Best tech series boots review out there👌
I had tech 8 for 10 years plus+. Very protective but switch to Sidi a few years ago for the hinge at the ankle. Much easier to operate the controls.
How are they? Just got a heavy 1290 SAS and everyone is recommending MX boots
@@shooter_ric5722 Get the SIDI mx boots, the top of the line stuff. Very comfortable with a lot of protection.
@@Erik-rp1hi Thanks boss
I like the colors Tech 5 offers.
Thank goodness I ordered tech7 today 🙏🙏🙏
I used to love work with Klinger. I had know idea he was into moto! Rad guy
Great review! It helped me a lot to make a choice. Thanks :)

As usual thanks for the content Vital! 👍 Personally, SG12 all the way! Personal preference i believe
Excellent breakdown/comparison!
💪🏻🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓👍🏻
listen closely he farts at 3:11 hopefully can bring a smile to you during quarantine
*_Lol._*
It was his voice
Hahahahaha lol hahahaha
The very distinct, "ffffthnnn"... I died laughing lol
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you, exactly the video I needed. Cheers
Awesome review! Very helpful... thank you!
Thanks for the comparison!
Awesome info, this swung me to the tech 7's.
Thanks for the video, it helps me a lot!
I have Fox, tech 10, & 2 pairs gs12. I think Garne is is the Cadillac. 10s are great though. Not big on my fox pair.
I discovered that TECH 7's sole or insert replacements are impossible to purchase for my size (9)
I'll just stick to my tech 1s
Yep love the 7’s
How do these boots do for crush protection on lower leg for an adventure rider with a 450lb bike.

How do you keep white boots clean
Great video thanks, I have Gaerne now but having trouble shifting, I think I’m going to try the tech 7
The toe box on the Garrne is really tall.. I had the same issue.
ik its a couple months late but have you tried moving your shifter a couple slots up?
We have the 3, 5, 7,all are great boot's, don't see the need for the $600 tech10's.
Tech 10 in sale were 400 euros. Best boot for overjumping and shit
got tech 7 and 5. For the 5 first ride the paint started to peel off from the tow area. From my tech 7 after 5 rides my soles glue us coming undone. Not really happy about spending soo much money have this crappy build quality....
I would like to buy this. But how to send this to the philippines?
Anyone ever had to ship their boots to AStars for sole replacement?? Info??
Should i get 5 or 7?
Tech10 all the way
I guess they don’t make tech 8s any more.
They do it's just more enduro and it has a metal toe
Nonsense tech 8 is the most winning motocross boot of all time and they still make them in regular and Light versions, best Mx boots ever made I’ll get another set when my 7s are toast.
Are the t10's true to size?
I wish they'd just do bolt on soles like SIDI.
T7 baby
I have the 10s
can i ask what font is used in the thumbnail text?
So the more you spend the better the boot? Hmm.
Tec 7 will do me.
An ounce on the foot is a pound on the back.
Bought tech 7 very comfy ,my ex sidi crossfire are made for duck feets, flat , horrible
I love the comfort of my Tech7's, if only it were water proof...
Do you have the current tech 7's or the older model? I had the older model and they got wet so easily but my buddy says the new ones don't get wet as easily
@@mxfreaks I got the 1gen KTM colours version ( orange white blue ), no idea what actual version this is of the Tech7...

Fuck off you must be a beginner rider that’s broke
I want a boot I can walk on and shift
