We've got Alpenstars and Thor Quadrants in our group -happy with both of them for trail ridin'. If it feels and fits good it'll work for ya.

If you're talking about the boots from Blackfoot, don't buy there. They are way to overpriced and you would get them cheaper if you ordered online from the states.

3rd season on my Tech 7's and they're great. I only had to replace 1 buckle so far and they're really comfortable but still have good support. Well worth the money.

on my 2nd pair of thor quadrants, they are good for how cheap they are however I have a serious problem with the buckles snapping off on me!! Also had a foot peg stab my boot pretty good, and yeah, my foot swelled up black and blue and couldn't wear shoes for a while :( Other then that, I find them comfortable and as long as you adjust them right so they fit properly their okay, I would buy other ones if I could afford more then $200 for boots but I'd rather dump the money into my bike!

I have the Sidi's, Crossfire I believe, and I really like them.

They have the solid plastic exterior which offers awesome protection against any kind of impact, but also supplies support, like an ankle brace, from twisting or hyper-extension. One of the best parts about them is that unlike most other boots, they don't require any kind of "break-in", just put them on and ride, they'll be super comfortable from day one. As an added bonus, they're about 95% waterproof too, you have to pretty much be walking around in the water for a while to get wet feet.

I'm going on 6 years with mine, and they're still in great shape. You can buy complete replacement parts for them though if you wear them out or damage them.

Right on buddy I just ordered a pair of Crossfire TA's :d My decision was influenced by my Sidi mountain bike shoes that have lasted forever and fit great from day 1.
