Hey whats up guys?

I have been looking to purchase new boots for track. I currently wear Oxtar, they are fine, but they are kinda bulky.

I am looking for something slim, flexible, comfortable but of course without compromising safety.

Alpinestar SMX Rs look good, but I wanted to know if there anything else out there that might be better.

Thanks.

I've been using the Sidi Vertigo Corsa since '04 when they came out. After two lowsides {one street, one track} and a nasty track highside I'm still wearing them. I've only broken a toe slider from the highside on them. They are very comfortable too.

I currently wear the gaerne GR-W and i love them. theyre extremely comfortable, i can wear them riding on the street and they never hurt my feet if i stop and walk in them. theyre pretty slim and still have great protection. not too bad on price either, i think mine cost me around $225.

Teknic Speedstars here.

I was on a bit of a budget for my first track day, And found these at sportbiketrackgear.com for a hell of a price.

They had a blow out on them. Only have one trackday on them, but they were very comfy, flexable, and breathe quite well...
