The Thor boots are great but the 1 problem I have with them is the top strap. Anyone with bigger calves or braces, you WILL snap the top strap. They are only $3 to replace so not horrible if you do
Let me start by saying chase is great at all these reviews…….but if you’re serious at all about riding or getting into riding, just remember you get what you pay for. Early in the game you’re gonna make mistakes. You need more than just the entry level stuff. Get yourself something mid to high range in all protective gear. Save the money on the cheaper stuff and go ahead and get the good stuff. You’ll end up buying it down the road anyway. Your physical health and safety is incredibly important in any form of riding. If you’re injured, you’re not riding. It’s that simple. You can go cheap with pants, gloves, and jerseys, but please protect #1 your head, #2 your knees and #3 your feet and ankles.
If any of these boots don’t protect you starting out you are way too reckless and need to slow your roll, these should be protecting against rocks and tree branches and for just overall general protection. Expecting anything more is expecting something at a different price point.
Lucky they upgraded the cop boots. I had a pair from a few years ago, the comp 5 and it was literally the worst boot I’ve ever put on. Buckles and straps were trash and hard to use. Very stiff and hard and the right boot dig into my shin sharply no matter how much adjusting.
Helpful thanks though as a complete newbie I would have like to see how they go on. One shot here showed that there was a lace inside rather than closing with just the clasps. Is that the case for all boots? Easy on is key for me as i’m not as slim as I used to be. Thanks again.
If you want the biggest calf opening of any boot, get a Gaerne SG12. When it comes to entry and mid-level boots, the Tech 5 and Leat 4.5 are good. And as a general rule, any premium boot is going to a larger calf opening than most mid-level boots - Chase
I have the Thor boots. I don’t like the steel toe cap. Is is ok to remove it, or will it cause problems with the shoe ? I’m 9 and just riding on flats. Super beginner on 50cc. Thanks
I’m a beginner too, it just depends on how hard it is to remove the steel plate if it’s fairly easy try it and see if it feels like you compromised shoe structure Also it could still safe for you to keep them in
O'Neal Rider boots has lot's of colour variations . Grey , black , white , orange , red , multi colour . Why you said that this boot has only black colour ?
Interested in the alpinestars. When you say and has a narrow toe box how narrow is it? I don't have wide feet but I don't want to feel like my toes are being crunch together either I haven't worn a riding boot in 30 years
None of these are waterproof so your foot will get wet no matter what if you soak it. Alpinestars does have their new tech 7 Drystar boot that is fully waterproof if that's what you're after. - Chase www.rockymountainatvmc.com/riding-gear/alpinestars-tech-7-enduro-drystar%C2%AE-boots-p
THE LAST PAIR OF FOX BOOTS I BOUGHT WERE AT LEAST ONE SIZE SMALLER THAN TRUE SIZE, PROBABLY 1 & 1/2 SIZES SMALLER. I WANT TO ORDER THE FOX COMP BOOT BECAUSE I HAVE BIG CALVES, SHOULD I GO ONE SIZE UP FROM MY ACTUAL 12 MENS...ANYBODY HAVE THESE THAT COULD GIVE SOME VALUABLE ADVICE?? MANY THANKS!
Most of these boots fit true to size so you can order your standard shoe size and be good to go. However, we have individual videos on these boots where we go over more of the details like sizing. So if you find one that you like I would recommend checking out the video on that specific boot. There is also a questions and answers tab on our website where you can get a good idea on how sizing was for other customers.
Hay chase? Looking at the tech 3 or fox comp. but don’t know if the fitting between the two are off any and I’m a size 10.5” always bought 11’s and wore thick socks and works for me but I haven’t had a lot of boots in my years can u suggest between the two witch one would be the better choice, I do have knee guards but was thinking of getting the newer stream line of the pull over style to help keep the diameter at the top of the boot from not fitting properly. Much appreciated if u could help me out on this one! Thanks.
Hi Mars. I would choose the tech 3 out of those two if it were up to me. I would go with a size 11. The Tech 3 has a lower toe box and they are really comfortable. - Chase
Corona boot does not fit well if you have a wide foot. Just saying it fit like as well as squid and a HD rider getting along would. I'm a size 12 4e. These suckers hurt. Got a size 13. Still no good.
@@straight-up-shots Couldn't live with them at all, Way to narrow. I have a banged up right foot. So on that one was way to painful, and the other was making it numb. went with the Fox Racing Comp Boots 2019, but they're out of stock. Much wider than those toe vises. Fox boots have a much wider toe box. You can try the 2020 fox comp. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/riding-gear/fox-racing-comp-boots-2020-p Good luck.
Hi, I am currently living in Vietnam but I am getting into enduro/dual-sport so I am looking to have some sent to a relative with similar feet. But out thses boots which are best fkr dual-sport/enduro where you may need to get off or walk. I also have a US13 that is wide.
I would spend an extra 30-40$ and get either the Fox Comp R or the Thor Radial at the price. If you're set on staying below that price, I'd probably get the Alpinestars Tech 3. - Chase
I've been riding and racing all my life I'm 60 years old bonded Souls suck in all boots including Thor all the way to the nineties how to interlace speed lace they should all have that
Corona boot didn’t age well
Facts bro
How so?
The Thor boots are great but the 1 problem I have with them is the top strap. Anyone with bigger calves or braces, you WILL snap the top strap. They are only $3 to replace so not horrible if you do
ill take the corona 😂
WildTropics I came down to the comments to see who would say something.😂
Battledust 954 hahaha I did the exact same thing!!
lol
We all did
I’ve been riding the 3s a while and they’re great. Definitely recommend! Break in wasn’t too bad, definitely feel secure in them
how did they last, I'm thinking about getting some?
@@Fromatic rode with them Saturday so still intact. Granted I don’t ride as much as some people
@@kschwords9223 sounds good cheers
Best product reviews Hands Down! Im thinking i might pick up those Tech 3's
Love the Tech 3's!
Thanks for the kind comment!
Are tech 3 safe if drop motorbike on ankle?
i have a pair of tech threes. and for a entire boot. it is all around amazing.
I have the arc corona great boot i like them a lot love the buckle set up and how they feel and fit
Who’s watching this during the corona outbreak? 😂🤣
I’m watching it in 2024
Loving my Astars Tech

Just bought the O’Neal rider boots, will be at my door next week!
hows your exoerience so far with these
I had these so hard to ride is way to stiff and the plastic on the inside split after the second ride.
The O’Neil boots are good but don’t last long. The sole of mine fell apart after 5 months
Warning about the tech 3, if you get mud in that hinge they will squeak every time you take a step and it's almost impossible to clean
i had the same issue and my coworker scrubbed them with soap and use the Shop air hose to blow it clean and no squeaking
I don’t know much about these boots but I do know about some Gun Oil throw some of that shit up in there
Just bought my helmet from one of your reviews last night guess I'll be looking at Boots now
That's what I like to hear!! Which helmet did you get? - Chase
@@rmatvmc msr with mips.
Which has best ankle protection(doesn't bent easy)
What about the Fly Racing Maverik Boot!? I love mine!
Fax
I have the same boots o love fly racing they are strong and I was able to get a 400$ helmet for 130$ from them
I'll take the storm trooper boots
The oneil is great after it breaks in a little.
Those fox ones are sick dude
Watching these after i just messed up my ankle when i wiped out from my bike. Lol

Also, what's the difference between a bonded vs stitched on sole other than being replaceable?
Bonded means it is glued on vs stitched.
@@rmatvmc thanks but why would want one other the other?
Stitched soles are better because they last longer glued are also good but don’t last as long as stitched
thanks for the video! helped out!
Do you have any recommendations on boots for a ride with bigger calf’s
If you want the biggest calf opening of any boot, get a Gaerne SG12. When it comes to entry and mid-level boots, the Tech 5 and Leat 4.5 are good. And as a general rule, any premium boot is going to a larger calf opening than most mid-level boots - Chase

O'Neal Rider boots has lot's of colour variations . Grey , black , white , orange , red , multi colour . Why you said that this boot has only black colour ?
I haven't seen any other colors of the O'Neal Rider boot online anywhere but if you have seen them in those colors that's pretty cool!
I wanted to buy these boots but i have a really low budget so i went ahead to the chinese ones which was a reaaaally bad idea
Interested in the alpinestars. When you say and has a narrow toe box how narrow is it? I don't have wide feet but I don't want to feel like my toes are being crunch together either I haven't worn a riding boot in 30 years
Any Alpinestars boot will have a generous width in the toe box.
Which one of these are the best for water resistant/ keeping the water out
None of these are waterproof so your foot will get wet no matter what if you soak it. Alpinestars does have their new tech 7 Drystar boot that is fully waterproof if that's what you're after. - Chase

@@rmatvmc you guys should do a best bang for your buck waterproof boots video, I'm sure it will get lots of views
Team keep it real just adds some silicone to the threads around soul and that seam when new.
I wear 12 wide shoes. Or 12EEE. Is there a boot made for my wide as hell feet? Or do I need to try a 14 to fit my feet?
hey, I have wide feet and big calves, what's the fox boots like ? I am pretty set on getting a pair.
Well, the Fox boot in this video is no longer made. The new Motion boot has a pretty large calf opening and the toe box has plenty of width. - Chase
What size would I go for O’Neil I’m a size 8.5 uk in shoes
9 or 9.5 bc they run kinda tight

How do the 1st O’Neal boot fit compared to shoes if I wear. 12 sneaker what would I take in them u think ?
With that boot, we would recommend getting your normal size.
Do i buy my size or one size up for boots?

Rocky Mountain ATV MC thanks chase , I was leaning that way already!
has anyone who bought any of these boots . . . used them on a kick start bike? (four stroke) If so, how long did they last?
I've had the O'Neal boots for 3 months now and honestly they are holding up good, haven't even broken a strap yet.
Is the only difference between the Tech1 and Tech3 the sewn on sole vs molded sole?
Yes, they are fairly close with the big difference being in the sole.
I had a pair of the thor blitz xps and i wrnt down and broke my ankle
NICE 😘😘😘❤❤❤👍👍👍
Can boots with zippers be used for motocross the ones with out straps

Watching this late and first boot is corona 😂
Let's say i don't want to spend more than 225 bucks for my first pair of boots. For that money, what would you get?
I would spend an extra 30-40$ and get either the Fox Comp R or the Thor Radial at the price. If you're set on staying below that price, I'd probably get the Alpinestars Tech 3. - Chase
Thor, maybe Tech 1 if I have more cash to burn
Entry level means cheaper. I'm a 50+ year experience entry level rider.
If there’s no lateral support, you may as well wear sneakers.
If you have a nice knee brace you ain’t buying any of these boots
Why u say that?
Corona....
