Better yet, mow the yard, do your garage work, yard work or farm work. You have to break in the sole of the boot to feel your brake lever and overall feel of the bike. So instead of wearing your shoes or normal boots around the house, wear your riding boots. At first the family will laugh but when you hit the track or trail, you will be loving your new boots!
SpongeBob’s squeaky boots lol Yesterday I picked up a pair of tech 7s. So far out of the box they are pretty comfy to wear and walk around the house with. Been doing a few stretches here and there in them, def does help tho. I’m a bit scared, it’s been about 10+ years since I last raced/rode moto. Gunna be even weirder since I haven’t worn a pair of thick bulky moto boots since.
Good to know. I just bought new racing style boots today. Braking and downshifts are not so bad, but upshifts are so hard. Ankle articulation is so limited. Hopefully it won't take too long to break them in.
I posted this video after almost killing myself with mis-shifts and missed brake taps in the air. It reminded me that this is a common problem. Hopefully you got yours nice and broken in now!
@@friendlywolfracing Same here, a can am crashed into me and i could have slowed down alot more faster if my boots wouldn’t have been so stiff. I could get used to them and i ended up missing the brake and crashed into him.
I crashed because mine were too stiff, tried shift up to second hit neutral no drive to wheel through muddy rut fell slow but ended up concussed, first time ever. Braking in now 😂

Started riding for the first time in 5+ years and it’s scary but man I forgot how fun it was

I have the same boots. I find it very hard to shift and brake. I will give this a try. Thanks

Thank you!!
Thanks for the tips! what Alpinestars boots are those?
Hey! They are tech 7.
do i need a certain pair of socks my brother said i do but idk
i use long socks when i ride i find it more comfortable but no you dont really need a specific pair of socks
Yep! Genius
Do they get soft enough for some walking?
Yes, they end up flexible enough to walk in. When my daughter rides on the kids track between my motos I keep these on and walk around.
Fuck yeah
