I use Alpinestar GP Tech's, I have a biddy with the Oxtar's(sp) and he swear's by them.

2 brands i can highly recomend are both the Spidi and Alpinestars, both make very good quality boots which are affordable, the only diff is choosing what style/color you like, I would expect to pay $150-200 US and upwards for a good set of boots..

I am an alpinestar guy myself. They look less gimmicky IMHO and are very comfy. I like the looks of the sidi's, but my bud's that have crashed on them have had to replace all the plastic 'vertebrae' stuff on the outside of the boot-none of that crap on the a-stars images/icons/wink.gif

Oh, and I personally wear the GP-techs-love em graemlins/thumbup.gif
