It seems most of the members here ride street or are track junkies but just in case there are some dirt riders. If anyone is looking for an offroad boot you should take a look at these. ALPINESTARS AYC TECH 3 BOOT [![http://lunatique.smugmug.com/photos/i-Km54xpD/0/O/i-Km54xpD.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/3/2/3222c5ca073efbe6b0ec4ce66f22da348207df65.jpeg)](http://lunatique.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Extras/6410196_Fn7zmP#!i=2146497610&k=Km54xpD) [IRONPONY](http://www.ironpony.com/ironponydirect/product_list.asp/brand/ALPINESTARS+AYC/Class3/Offroad%20Boots/Class2/Footwear/Class1/ATV%20PRODUCTS) $99 in the close outs. A friend of mine bought these boots a few months ago before they hit this closeout price. Here is what she had to say about the boots and the vendor : > What AYC means is Aplinestar Yamaha Collection. The boots I received are identical in appearance from regular AlpinestarTech 3’s with no Yamaha logos anywhere. On the inside label it says AYC. IronPony got a bunch of them to sell off cheap as Yamaha decided not to continue their AYC collection. I had a good experience buying these from IronPony. They were shipped quickly and dealt easily when I exchanged them for a smaller size. > It took a couple of weeks to get used to them but I love them now. I did move the shift lever up on my bike as you suggested to fit the boot under and that made everything instantly easier. I haven’t missed a gear since. > Thanks ---

I’m not sure i’d wear them though I have a Pro Sub4 for track use only, the SEE+ is for normal street rides. This shorts I bought I only use under leather just to add another layer of protection; If my leather was not already skin tight, I probably would have got something that is CE2 rated, which will be a bit thicker. ---
