One Last Time - Which of These Three Boots?
Okay, I finally sold my Thor Quadrants (I hated those boots - too hot for the desert, too little flexibility, too bulky for my size 11.5 foot). So here are my choices for dual sport riding (60% road - 40% easy dirt) - the Alpinestars Vector $200, Sidi Discovery $270 and AXO SR4 $130, they're all three buckle design and little shorter than full mx boots and rated more flexible than most (and I don't need waterproof boots in the desert) plus some ankle and lower shin protection which I need in this environment (snakes, cactus, boulders, etc). Any feedback especially on the AXO's? I also have a wide foot!

i have had very good luck with my axo's.hopefully youll get a chance to try them on before purchasing, you might be supprised how comfy the axos are comapred to the a stars. cant speak experience with sidi off road, only sidi street boots but have first hand experience with a stars and axo and sold my a stars and kept the axo's the axo's went through a kx125 and a kx 250 and i still have them today.

I'm probably going to go with the AXO's SR4 MX boot but will have to buy them online. Do they run true to size? Are the wide, medium or narrow boots?

250, the axo's are a little wide. i went a size bigger to fit the bulky mx socks and leg gards and all that crap in them and have the ability to be comfy.

Alpinestar. Been using them for dirt since day one. Tech 10 are by far the most comfortable with no break in time. Get replaceable soles if you do chose another brand.

I prefer the Alpinestars Vectors - they're a little wider, I have big wide feet for a girl : ( than the rest of the AS line, more comfortable at the cost of being a litlte less protective,

These are my favorite boots. I want a pair bad but I don't know how the sizes are with them and no one I know carries them.
