    In Red Alpinestars S-MX 5 Motorcycle Boots - Race & Sports - Ghostbikes.com (my preferred choice)

    I got sidi mate can't remember the make but they kinda split in 2 which is really handy to get them on and off especially when hot and brilliant with the dodgy leg lol.
    No squeeking, well not from the boots just the old knee

    Depends on which way you look at that they sound like they could be unlucky for you

    I dont think the boots make it unlucky, Just saying that i have walked away from every crash with my supertechs on over the years thats what i was recommending, If it was the boots making me unlucky as you say and i looked into a crystal ball and some one told me to take the flip flops next time still gonna chose the supertechs. Boots dont make you unlucky pushing does and these crashes have been over 5-6 years or so :D
