Im a 40+ mx racer that got back into it last year after a 10 year break. I bought a new pair of Fox Comp 5 off-road boots and they are the worst pair of best I've ever had. I can hardly walk for a day or two after wearing them for a few minutes. I've tried adjusting everything I can and feeling all around for the problem but I can't find why it makes my right ankle shoot with pain. Something is digging into a nerve. My just be my foot.
Anyways, I want to try a different pair. Should I look for a good used pair of Tech 10 or buy a new pair of Tech 7? Any other suggestions are welcome. We'll set a budget around $300. I can get the 7's around $250 and it looks like used 10's in my size may be a little less.

can't think of his name, but he'll be here
Edit: I have broken both ankles left 3 times and the left is almost fused itself from arthritis. Haven't had one ankle injury since.
The Shop
Then switched to gaerne, just as good.
I would not buy anything else.
High point and Full Bore made good stuff back in the day.
Gaerne SG 12 if you have wide feet or want the most confertable,long lasting boot
But today I ordered new Instincts. Hopefully they live up to the billing, for $559 I'm expecting a mix of Tech 10 and SG12 quality and peformance.
Pit Row
Tech 10s and Tech 8s are my favorites, but you might hate those.
Try everything on and see.
To the OP - buy the best boot you can afford and good luck!
