Boot advice

Merry Christmas guys!

Just a little update to where I am with the boot situation. The Forma Predator boots turned up but they sent me a US11 instead of a US12. They are too narrow for my feet and my toes were touching the ends. The quality of the boots are absolutely amazing, and they look so good, but are definitely heavy. I'll need to send them back, but not sure if I want to try the next size up due the weight and narrow feel.

So I've tried the following boots -

Fox instinct (current boots) - falling apart and soles wearing at only 8hrs, smell, fit well with no pain.

Leatt 5.5 Flexlock - Really painful on my bad right foot, buckle dug into my foot in same area, very stiff but great support, well made

Tech 7 - had these for 4 years, lasted well, hurt sides of my feet, not very comfortable or supportive.

Tech 10 - Slight pain on side of bad foot and inner ankle, heavy, very supportive and well made.

Forma Predator - heavy, narrow feel (although boots I tried are 1 size too small), very very well made and awesome quality.

I don't know where to go now. Ideally I'd like comfort, light or medium weight, good support, wide foot bed but ability to close top buckle tight for my skinny calves. I like traditional sole type boots rather than moulded soles, but it's not essential

Haha yeh I don't normally give it much thought, just buy a pair I like the look of and use them whether they hurt or not. But this time round I want to try and find something that fits the bill. Making another run at the vets championship next season so ideally want something that will help rather than hinder my performance on the bike
