For no better reason than style I chose Alpinestar Tech3 All Terrain MX boots over others that were available ...
These come with the stitched-on, not moulded-on, sole. Therefore they have the steel protector at the front of the sole, wrapping around to protect the top and bottom of the upper-sole joint at this point.
I realise that thsi is probably going to do great job of preventing the front of the sole being torn away from the upper, or the stitching being away by off -road activity, but how often does that occur, or are these a bit of bling to make the boots look like MX boots of old ?
The reason I ask is that the steel does do a fair bot of damage to tiled, wooden and carpeted areas when walked upon, and I am thinking about removing them - thoughts?
I have a 1200GS so am not going to leaping all over the Cairngorms in the boots, but on the other hand I am taking the BMW Off Road Level One soon, and am contemplating a Moroccan dash or two....
As usual any comments are greatly appreciated, and any abuse warmly accepted...
