I wear the Alpinestars Octane Boots for my everyday rides. Very comfortable and well built. A tad on the heavy side but you feel like you have good, safe boots on your feet. So to me, that negates the fact that they feel a bit heavy. Anyway, they can be found for between $129-$169. I have the Alpinestars SMX-2 for when things are a bit more on the serious side(backroads). They have the toe sliders and are alot more firm. They're also acceptable at some tracks. I caught a fair deal with an online retailer since I was buying 2 different types of Alpinestars at the same time.
