official_style Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 what does everyone who has big feet wear for riding boots? i bought some o neal shortys, and they fucking suck, they are way to thick to get under the shifter, even if i move it up a notch. i moved it up 2 notches, and its too fucking hard to downshift then. i usually ride with sneakers, and have no problem shifting, but i want to get some boots for this year. i need something that has a thin toe, but has the ankle support/protection. i was thinking maybe paratrooper boots would work, but havent tried yet. any ideas? o yea im size 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandRageShee Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 i have some answers that are size 12's and they are full length.and skinny at the nose due to them being mx boots.. so imo look for some answers or AXO's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajl12 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I've got the same problem, getting a size 16 under the shifter without moving it up beside the handle bars is tough!! I always just end up riding with a pair of Redwing boots on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krss144 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Size 13wide here, I plan on riding a lot of mud so my old Cat steel toe boots should work just fine. Last year I was riding my buddys shee with my teenies and will never do that again, went to shift and foot hit a stump and wel ya didnt feel the best.

SteelerBob Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Size 15 shoe here and I picked up a pair of brand new clearance AXO's 14's (they run BIG) off ebay. Still breakin them in but I had a pair of Axo's years ago and they did pretty well. For 47 bucks I couldn't pass them up. I am having some issues with them shifting tho. Hoping they loosen up a bit.

bennieben Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 i wear a size thirteen boot. i weigh 330 lbs. i have tried them all. nothing for me is better than the 100 dollar pep boys o neals. they are flexible and actually let you shift easy. ive taken a few tumbles and they have held my ankles in place. theyre great for me. i can jump on any bike and shift just fine with these. i even use them for dirtbike riding. they break in right away but are still firm enough to keep your ankles from snapping :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
official_style Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 i ordered axo constructors, timb pros, and some other shit, i forgot which brand, all from places i can send them back for a refund. i hope the axos work out, but i will find out in a few days when everything comes in.

AKheathen Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 i brought my old matterhorn miners boot home, steel plates all the way up your foot, and i'm adding +2 to my shifter. just been using cat boots before that. almost 3 years daily, and barely worn :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
official_style Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 +1 or +2 on the shifter i think would solve the problem. i should call up cascade, and tell them to make their gear slammer in a +2 cock diesel version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
