You're right, I probably could have used to them if I tried harder... but I don't do much offroad anymore... and on the street MX boots aren't the most comfy choice. Best choice for the protection of your feet, though - no question about that. I usually ride in shortys (Alpinestars S-MX 2)... more flexibility in the ankles, easier to get under the clutch. And you can walk in them properly if you need to do some shopping. Yeah, I know, not very protective... but believe me, it doesn't get easier with XXXL feet! Already had to install a longer, adjustable clutch pedal etc. to make it work better.
However, my DRZ 400SM got stolen from the private parking of the building where I live (locked up & right in front of the security cam)... so I am on a f****** scooter for now. :'(
Saving up for a Husky.. hopefully on a SMR 511 or 630 next year.
