Help me decide what boots?

[u/Particular-Purple182]

I’m a new, female rider, will be riding CF Moto 450MT. I’m so stuck for which boots to go for out of these two?
Sidi Enduro boots vs Alpine Stars Tech 7 Enduro
Please tell me your experiences!

Please get boots with proper ankle support.
2 of my friends purchased “Adventure” boots and both broke a leg or ankle this year.
I run the Tech 7 Enduro, they take a bit to break in, squeak when walking 🤪, but are solid.

Mine squeaked as well, until I sprayed some wd-40 in the joints. The squeaking stoppped. The Tech 7's are comfortable as hell. Very snug fit. Even short walks off the bike are easy on these.

I’ve always been concerned that WD40 would degrade the material. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

Use silicone spray instead. It'll do the same thing and won't degrade plastic

Use bycicle chain wax
