Okay, I bought fizzer in '07, and that same summer I bought some rather expensive BMW boots that I absolutely loved ($240, iirc). 29,000 miles later, they're shot, and I'm ready for a new pair of summer boots.
I've looked, on line, at Firstgear Mesh ($126), Alpinestar Net Air ($160) and Alpinestar ST Vented ($200), was wondering if anyone here had personal experience with any of these boots.
The BMWs that I have got glowing reviews when they came out. Along with the mesh panels that let air in/out, they also had a "puffed", porous lining (think furnace filter) that allowed air to freely blow all over your feet; I could actually feel a breeze through my boots when standing cross-wind!
Don't know what the BMW footgear costs now, and I probably won't have a problem buying them again, but just wanted to hear if anyone had used the three mentioned above (or any others), and if you had any recommendations.
Thanks in advance! :thumbup:
