Anybody know anything about these? Comfort? Build? Reliability? Fit?

Thanks in advance.


(why my link no workie....?)

Weird...I tried it myself and it's being stupid.

REALLY like that web site. Nice to be able to scroll around on the pic like that.

Yay!!!! Linkie working now.

So, anybody have any experience with these? Or just Fox boots in general?

I'm really having trouble justifying $300+ boots. I have kids that desire to eat and stuff. PLus a wife. 'nuff said right?

Yeah, hear ya. Never had any exp with Fox boots, helmets are good. I've worn MSR's and Forma's.

Those are nice lookin' boots -- SheWolf, any issues with the other boots you're using? Everyone over here is saying that Fox is the only way to go, bootwise.

My MSR's were great boots. The Forma's I have are a bit stiffer, but it's a bullet proof boot. I'll have to try thew Fox boots next time around.

Fox Trackers about ten years ago, broke in quick and were comfortable. As far as getting my moneys worth, my brother-in-law is still wearing them today.

I tried on the Comp 5's when I was looking at boots. I liked them much better than the Astar Tech 3's. They just fit my feet better and seemed easier to walk in...less plastic too. I ended up getting some Sidi Chargers because I liked the hinged heel and the lower profile toe box. The Sidi's seemed to be narrower and less bulky and having a size 14 foot, I need all the room I can get on the pegs. Great price on those Comp 5's. They have 2 different sole options too. Good boot, I don't think you can go wrong with them.

Thanks. The boots might have to wait a while longer though.

The Attitude EFI programmer is gonna come first.

Yikes!!! Definitely get boots over the fuel programmer! I noticed a very small difference with my PCIII with a stock bike anyway. It was definitely a nice-to-have, and a fairly small one at that. Good boots are an absolute must for serious off-road riding. Foot injuries are the most common injury you can do to yourself out there.

I have Fox F3s. The best compliment I can give is that I never think about them once their on - meaning they don't pinch, blister or hurt in any way. The buckles are all still there after a year of use, which is great. Not waterproof, but pretty water resistant.

I had a set of the Fox Comp 5's. They were a little big in the toe area on the top and sides. Not just the end. I had to move my shifter up a few notches to shift. I bought some Sidi Crossfire's $$$ but fit like a glove. Over all I think the Fox boots were well made.

I found nearly new A* Tech 6's on ebay for $60, price was right and they fit and so far protect great. I've had the pleasure of testing their crashability off road more times than I wish, no damage. I like them a lot. Fit SO much better after walking the bike through a creek with them on, now they feel molded to my foot and while squeaky are okay to walk in for shortish distances.

I tried on a pair of new Fox 5's today at Cycle Gear.

They felt great. Just need the cash. I'll be getting them soon.

I just wish they had half sizes. The size 9 was a bit tight. Size 10 felt loose and a bit too roomy.

Guess what I got today?

I have had to start experimenting with shifter placement. Where it had been set by Yamaha was awkward with the Fox boot on.
So I moved it. I moved it to much.

Now I've hopefully found a middle ground so that I can be comfortable with shifting while wearing an M/X boot or just a standard sneaker.

It really sucks hitting neutral instead of second because the shifter is not placed right.

I got some too!!


They are an incredible fitting boot. I can ride with them in comfort and shifting isn't a problem anymore.

i wear the comp5 shorty's they are really good and comfy boot.
