Hi Dodger,
trialendurodirect.com: NOVOGAR 'TRAIL' Boots I think these boots are made in Italy, so I'm not sure how easy it would be for you to buy them at source - but above is the address of the site that sell them in the UK.

Cheers Mike

I'd recommend Alpinestars Vectors - a slightly more comfortable (softer shell) version of their MX boots, but still with great protection.

They are comfortable straight out of the box and not too clunky for walking around in off the bike...

After 5000 kms...

I have now definitively answered my own questions by wearing NOTHING OTHER than a pair of MX Boots from BRAND NEW out of the box, every single day, for 17 days, over 5000kms.

Yes, you're right - reviews really should be accompanied by photos.

Will work on that.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
