My Fox Instincts didn’t last 30 hours! If you want durability, you want Gaerne. If the Gaerne’s are too wide, buy the Sidis.

[andresbraun]

My humble opinion for buyers out there: unless you don't mind durability, the Gaerne's are your best option. They will outlast every other boot

[aaronmcelhinney]

I love my Tech 7’s. I think they should be included in this shootout, since some pros don’t like the Tech 10 booties, they run the Tech 7’s.

[stevesmith]

I’ve seen a lot of people break ankles and feet whilst riding and crashing in Fox boots. More like a shoe than a protective boot

[SpeedySpears]

I absolutely love my previous gen Fox instincts! Everything from big outdoor tracks in Oklahoma to single track. Only issue I’ve ever had was a strap break, other than that they are still going strong after 115hrs on my 350sxf

I know it’s not the majority of your guys’ business, but more videos about any youth related gear would be amazing if you guys have the time. Keep up the great work

I love my SG12’s, haven’t had a chance to try the 22’s. For me I need a boot that will last a long time and provide great support and comfort. I love the memory foam around the ankle and I had a pair last me 4 years before I felt like I needed to get a new pair. Love em

[JayProx]

After the absolute dumpster fire of my first and only pair of fox boots I ever bought, literally broke apart after 5 rides, I can’t see myself ever getting Fox boots again.

Leatt 5.5 flex lock going on 8 months, zero complaints

[davidtheys]

If the sole isn't stiff there's no protection if you hit you're foot consequences are bad. Also to me hinch is the best protection for the ankle. To me Gaerne the best.. also the toebox is much more protective and super comfortable..I'm a Alpinestars fan but love the Gaerne boots better

[robsonenduro]

Really Fox Instinct??? come on, protection is the most important thing and Fox boots don't have it. Gaerne all the way for me next to the Alpinestars tech 10. BTW to do really good test you should crash in all these boots ;)

[maverick]

Have SG12s last and last and get better with time, handmade in Italy, not paying a premium price for made in China, I wont wear AP*s for that reason and if I did it would be T7s, I wont wear a AP*T10, I have seen too many ankle issues broken usually from locals and top pros, it maybe most people wear em, but I have had my fair share of crashes and never hurt my lower legs! I was a Sidi fan years ago but when they changed the models and sizes and location made I changed the last hold out of made in Italy, I like my boot to break in, that's how a good boot should work imo, riding over 45 years and still on 2t, might be old-school, but I'm not a one week boot guy and end up riding like I got slippers on! Just my experience, maybe different for a pro, but I also don't want to mess around with booties. I'm not convinced either on the system, just because everyone wears it. Touch wood never had an issue in Sidi or Gaerne and being made in Italy still means something to me! I avoid Chinese made anything if possible, not always possible. I still have gear from when it was made in Finland, it still looks good today, my pride an joy is a pair of 1985 MotoFox Vented Pants and still like new! wont get that from Chinese made in 2055!

Had TCX 2.1 pros for years amazing boot lasts and last for years, but was bulky and used to catch my foot / toe on deep ruts even landed on my leg of a table top, zero injuries. Now running tech 10 great comfy boot don’t catch my foot / toe able to ride on toes more but I have hurt my ankles / legs on impacts and definitely less protection so, it’s a trade off. The tech 10s have fell to bits in less than 2 years only doing mx for 1-3 hrs a week, there is a hole all the way through to the side of my foot where they bend, lost 2 straps and I’ve had to replace to soles after a year on standard foot pegs. Which leads to the price, very expensive if they only last 2 years maximum even being looked after. Going to try SG22s next

[oznik]

Love your shootouts! Well made and fun to watch!

Is there any future plan to do a shootout for trails/enduro riding? Curious to see how the ranking change if at all..

[JSRC]

10 yr old Astars tech 7 not a single issue. Soles have worn down over time obviously and just this year started noticing it transfer through. Top shelf product as always which is why I’ve grabbed a fresh set. I’ve worn nothing else for 30 years best bang for your buck hands down. I ride track and trail and my buddies are constantly complaining about broken buckles with the competitors.

[donmiller]

Love my SG22s. I've got flat wide feet and can't even get my foot in a tech 10 so I've never tried them. Coming from SG12, big improvement. Broke-in the same day. I wear knee braces. I wear a 8.5 to 9 shoe and 8s fit perfectly like my SG12s did

[redlinek]

Crazy nobody liked the Sidi. I swear by them. Love my Crossfire 3 SRS. The ability to replace soles in 10minutes is the best. Wonder if it’s the little bit of break in time they need that nobody liked them. Sidi or Gearne everything else I’ve seen too many people get hurt in.

[rjtimmons]

I used to wear instincts until one of my toes was crushed by a rock. Then I started looking at Sidi and Gaerne for some extra protection. I then realized how little protection the instinct offered. I bought the Gearne and Sidi crossfire 3 SRS. I now love the Sidi and plan on sticking with that. If you have a wide foot then don't get the SRS version. The SRS has a more narrow toe box.

[JUSTINHAWKSMITH]

Will you guys make a non premium boot shootout or whatever it would be called. Like with Tech 7 vs fox motion vs whatever else there is love the videos Great job as usual

[manny.]

gaernes in the long run will outlast all of the other boots and break in the best.

[Jcarney]

How about an enduro boot shootout ? A lot of us ride singetrack/ enduro
