    Well as the title, I'm after a new pair of boots.. Currently have some Alpinestars fast lane ankle boots, but would like a full length boot! Have a budget of about £250-300 if really tempted!

    Thanks!

    Supertech R would be my recommendation, comfiest boots I've ever had! And level of protection is very good not that I've tested them!!

    Alpinestars, sidi or dainase and you can't go wrong. To be honest, its whatever you like and fits your feet, comfort first.

    I have Vortice an Supertech R. Both great boots. Both worth getting via Demon Tweeks and Andy as my Vortice were cheaper than anywhere else online

    But the Supertech are easier to put on and take off. both comfy for all day wearing

    Same here Supertechs are mint .Mine are the white ones but as thought the hard bits for the gear change has gone to an off white colour but that's life " and they are not dancing shoes" don't listen or worry about the inner shoes and all the hassle this is simple to overcome ( just undo the laces a touch) it's not hard or clever I learned this trick when I was about 3 lol.

    Derri Boots used to be all the rage when I was young, you could start a comeback. Be a Trend setter. The ones with laces are the coolest.

    I have Alpinestars, not the Supertech, but the SMX Plus, great boot looks the business, really comfortable good level of protection and not as expensive as the Supertech.

    I had the vortice boots and they were a pain in the @$$ to do up all the time however once on they were very nice to ride in, much tighter to your feet than the supertech Rs and less bulky. I have the supertech Rs now because they are easier to put on, warmer, and a hell of a lot comfier!!

    +1 on the Sidi Vortice, brilliant boots but a right pain in the hoop to put on
