Smile Boots Recomended Please

I'm after some new boots but can't seem to find a good replacement for my Hein Gericke Touregs.

So can anyone recommend some.

They need to be black with 4 metal claps MX style but need to be flexible enough to change gear unlike some I've tried.

Cheers.. ;0)

Get the TCX (Oxtar) Infinity, they are mid way between an MX boot and a touring boot.

2 Buckles and a velcro flap, goretex and still has good ankle/shin protection but the ability to move the ankle.

Those TCX (Oxtar) Infinity are very similar to the ones I have... I suppose what I'm after is some trials boots which are softer than MX for ease of gear changing etc. Thanks for the great pic... ;0)

Hein Gericke Touregs - they've been updated a bit now though.

You can get a MX style Toureg boot, but they are as stiff as hell, I have a pair for off road, make you walk like a penguin!

Another vote for these as I have them myself. Extremely comfortable and utterly waterproof. They are also a Ride magazine favourite so offer good protection according to their tests

Here +1: I also recommend these boots(got them too!), comfortable-waterproof-good support&protection, good allroad touring boot.

I know this is an old post now but have a look at some of the ATV boots out there they look to be a great comprimise of comfort and protection, FORMA springs to mind but there are loads of others out there. Not tried them myself but definatly looking for something better than my old axos that are reiculously stiff and make riding my Ten a pain.
