These boots are great, but your question about ankle protection suggests good observation on your part. There is really none against twist or hyperextension...as my right ankle will attest. I got my ankle caught under my handlebar when my front wheel washed out on hard pack. My right foot was pushed down and twisted to the left... hard. This was two months ago and it isn't well yet. I got a pair of Alpinestar Tech 7's for real, honest to goodness ankle support. For a dual sport boot, the Sidi Discoveries are the best. Waterproof, comfortable to ride or walk in, and not bad looking for general public appearances. But as was previously said, don't expect them to work for all out motocross work...or crashing! The Tech 7's are like a plastic cast. Fairly comfortable, but I wouldn't want to walk far in them. And I can't shift without total lift and stomp action. Had to move my shifter up a bit to make room. It's all give and take.

Nice looking boot. How is the ankle protection on that? I am happy with the sidi boots as well. Did not think that there was any break in time for them actually.

I didn't get the 08KTM exc 450 But I still did pretty good!
Tomorrow I'm ordering new Tusk bars , Tusk hand guards, grips and Track master 2 front Tire.I had to wait till after Christmas to order these parts just in case she (the wife)bought me the KTM. I also got A cannon rebel xticamera, Sirius satellite radio and some shirts and jeans.

I ordered the sidi discoveries boots too. They were very comfortable but offered little ankle protection so I returned them and got alpinestars tec 3s. the tec 3s are a good boot and offer good ankle protection but they arenot as comfortable asthe sidi.
