What’s the best boot for mountain riding right now?

[hondalrd]

So I have had klim boots for the last 10 years and the first pair worked flawlessly and eventually wore out so I bought the new boa ones last winter and broke 2 cables and the wires wore through the boots. Klim did refund the full amount but in a gift card only to be used on there website. But they are sold out of every boot basically even the lace up ones that I wanted now instead of the boa. I am now wondering what other boots are actually good?

The adrenaline klim lace ups - as far as I'm concerned no BOA is construction grade - I rock the black diamond goretex gaiters from mec over them and for me and how I ride - they are goondocker approved - had to take the gaiters to a sewing shop and get em modified to fit - g2g

For two decades I was doing at least 5 to 10,000 K a season between the mountains and ditch Banging. The only boot that ever lasted and kept me dry and warm was Klim. And even they would start to crack by the laces and maybe leak but that’s after a ton of days and miles. Klim boot soles also obviously don’t last either. But for a few light weight boot and to keep me warm and dry they lasted me the longest

Not sure why they needed to replace the laces with that. Laces are the original fastening tool of footwear and work great.

I bought the GTX Pro Adrenaline boots like 5 years ago. Ch!T they're like brand new. I ride hard and put on lost of miles?

Give the Adrenaline BOA another shot, they are by far the best boot. I also broke a lace but they sent me a new one.

I'm wearing the Klim Adrenaline lace ups. I love the for comfort. They are wide. And my cat boards are narrow. I fumble my feet on the boards. Could be just the way I ride.
I was disappointed in the seams. The one boot the seam pulled apart their second season.
Slapped some flex seal tape on it and its been good.
The souls are soft on them and the boards do chew them up.

Just what I see wearing them.

Another vote for klim adrenaline lace ups. Wore mine out after 3 years. Switched to motofist and not as good as the klim but it was what dealer had last year.

Hard hat for tree riding

klim boots suck... there big, clumpy, no dexterity, always dent the brake guard, heavy, and there pricey.

Columbia bugaboot, been wearing these along time now. Hard to be for price point, mobility, light, and slim fitting. Todays running boards beat the crap out of the bottoms. Id prefer that over beating the running boards.

cabelas, basspro, campers village, sport check... etc etc.

Few buddy's and my son bought jethwear boots

All bought from powder lites in sicamous

I'm on my 3rd (maybe 4th????) Season of the Klim adrenaline boas. Running board sliced the toe open first season. Bit of Dollarama epoxy and have never had a problem.
Granted I switched to snowbike after one season.....so definitely not as hard on boots.
