  • Is this one I go over some of the differences between the Alpinestars Tech 7 and the Alpinestars Tech 3. Also are motocross boots good for adv motorcycle riding? I think so and I would never wear anything else. Adventure motorcycles are heavy and if you ride them off road then the chances of you dropping it at some point is pretty high so why Wear flimsy adv boots and worse tennis shoes or work boots.

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As long as you lube them up about every other ride then they stay pretty much squeak free. It feels good to be moving around a little easier. Thanks man. I can't wait to ride

    Awesome vid, nailed the into 🤘🏽 I just ordered the 3’s cause I don’t currently have a riding boot haha 😅 I was looking at adv boots but your video helped make my mind on motocross boots. Much better protection. Subscribed and liked 🤙🏽🤙🏽

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! In my opinion you could buy the cheapest motocross boots and they would offer better protection than the most expensive adv boots. I think you like the tech 3. I'm glad the video helped. Thanks for liking and subscribing. I really appreciate it 👊

    Great information. Just stepped up from Tech-5 to a new pair of Tech-7 Drystar enduro boots. I started off with the Tech-3 and used them for 3 years then moved up to Tech-5. Love them all.

    I had ADV boots and never felt safe in them.
    Riding confidence went up when I switched to tech 7's because I felt safer and the stiffer sole reduces fatigue a lot when standing.
    Surprised how comfortable the tech 7's are to walk in too.
    Josh from Aus Moto broke his foot wearing tech 3's, they seem to have a lot more flex.

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It definitely makes me feel better knowing I have more protection for my lower leg and feet. The tech 3 definitely has more flex than the 7. Thanks for watching man. I hope you are doing well. 👊

  • @PisgahGravelProject
    @PisgahGravelProject 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great information. Well done. I'm with you, good mx boots are the way to go. I've seen way too many lower leg injuries from users picking 'walking comfort' over crash protection.
    Probability vs consequence equation. The probability is high, and the consequences are even higher......I'll get as much protection as I can, every time. No brainer.
    Too many guys (mostly new comers or road guys) are fooled by the gimmicky adv boots, then have 300-400 wrapped up in the brown adv boots before they realize they should have went a different direction.
    I wear the mx boots for 1/10000 chance the bike lands on my leg in a wreck. Some guys value walking comfort over everything. I value not having to have leg surgery.
    To each their own.

      That's probably PE used in there somewhere, there is paraffine in PE, and that is what gives candles their smell.

    I also wear use the Tech 7's. I think the lower leg is the number one injured spot.
    The boots squeak for safety... they let the critters know where you are when you're using the restroom in the woods.

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I believe you're right. The lower leg is at high risk for injury. The squeaking can be annoying but nothing a little lube won't fix 😂

    I wear adv boots and I feel safe in them for what I do…my only reason to ride down gravel and dirt roads is to find nice camping spots, and I don’t do any crazy stuff like you two. There’s always a trade off between comfort, safety, and $$$

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would stay on dirt if there was a way to get everywhere I wanted to go lol. The tech 7 is the best I've found that is a good compromise between comfort, safety and money.

    So question for you on the t7. How are they traction wise walking around? I just got a pair 150+ cheaper then the basic t7 enduro. Thanks in advabce and hope you get bacj on 2 wheels soon

    @bigdave6194 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Tech 7s are great boots at a decent price. I had another brand that cost a bit more but these seem to be more comfortable and fit my calves better. The others were a bit tight. I have always had bigger muscular legs and boots would fit perfect everywhere...but at the top. These are a better fit for me. It doesn't matter if you give 300 or 800 for boots. If theyre not comfortable then you wont be happy with them

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi Greg,
    Ive been wearing ADV boots and went down on the street last year and the bike bounced off my leg. They kept me from getting a broken leg but man was my leg bruised with a hematoma the size of my palm. I tried on some motorcross boots but i dont know how you guys shift gears in those boots.

    • @TheBeardedGrump
      @TheBeardedGrump  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing well now and I'm glad you didn't break your leg. I adjusted my shifter up and once you get used to shifting with stiffer boots you really just do it without thinking about it.

      I can't tell much of a difference in the opening on either one. I will say that the tech 7 has a better overall fit.

    the tech 7 are good the last model of f o x instinct are comfortable but the best boots are GAERNE SG12.

    • @TheBeardedGrump

      The SG12s are good but they are expensive. A little less comfortable when walking in my opinion but they are definitely nice boots

      @@TheBeardedGrump on my search for MX boots most of the Riders mention that these boots offer the best protection and durability.
      yes, they are expensive but protection is more important at least is what I think.

      I wear hwk over the boot pants and they fit fine. My brother wears hwk and Thor over the boot pants and they fit fine. I know a few people that wear MSR and Klim OTB pants with tech 7 and they fit fine.

      Just like normal. On my V-strom 1000 I moved my shift lever up one spline so I would have more room for my boot to fit under it.
