Need some advice guys. I bought a pair of Scott boots a couple years ago, and the soles lasted less than 10 hours before the pegs chewed most of the way through them. What would you guys recommend as an economical boot that will hold up. I'll probably only get a good 10 hours or so a year to ride. Help me out here my MX brothers
Thanks in advance.

PS, saw some decent pricing on Fox comp 5's. Are they worth the money.

If you do some searching, the Gaerne SG-10 can be found for around $300. Yeah, $300 seems steep to me also but what the hell, they're comfortable and will last you for 10yrs at your current pace.

Thanks, as high as 300 sounds, it's cheaper than 200 followed by a throw away half way through the year.
