I noticed you wear your boots oddly and unzipped alot, they seemed to form strangely, perhaps from walking around in them unzipped? That could have alot to do with the seams busting.

Uh, no I don't wear them oddly or unzipped. I barely wear them at all, I wear normal hiking boots most of the time. The seem busted just above the toe.

But with the A* you get the standar "squeak" sound effect at no extra charge

I hate that squeak.

I just got a pair of TCX boots as well...no squeak.

A*'s I wear a 45 but with the TCX I wear a 44.

Teknic Violator boots have the widest calf space available in boots. I have ginormous calves (I'm NOT ripped - just calf blessed) and these are the only boots I can get my calves+leathers into comfortably. Wearing ANY gear that you have to mess with while you're on the track and distracted is bad, m'kay?

Thanks for the info Lauralynne. I'll have to look into those.

Being distracted is exactly why I switched. I rode the pits and then decided I hated the distraction and rode back to switch!

hey, if you need female track gear advice, you should get up with Azoom. I'm sure that she has tons of knowledge in that area!!!

Erik likes his SMX 4 as they allow for larger calves. I have them too and they are awesone! The problem I had were the leathers were too large in the ankle/calf area so I had the cobbler/leather guy trim them down so I don't have to stuff as much down in my boot.
