November 8, 200817 yr Just bought some white Alpine Star boots and am now the subject of all manner of abuse from mates is this really justified?
November 8, 200817 yr You have to be damn good to get away with wearing white boots therefore the abuse is totally justified
November 8, 200817 yr Dont worry, If you ride one trial every weekend you will only have the boots 3months!!
November 8, 200817 yr i dont think white boots and poof have any connection. I would say a bit girlie how does that make you feel ;-)
November 8, 200817 yr Dont think ive ever seen a poof on a bike before wouldnt say that, no shortage of fat baldy ones riding harley davidsons
November 8, 200817 yr I was just this second discussing white alpinestars boots with my friend on the phone. I wanted some and he has gone out and bought them before me. personally I like them, but if they are considered a bit poofy in the trials community I think ill just make out that I tricked him into buying them and get a pair of black ones.... how are they though? compfy and waterproof? All the best Tom

All the best Tom Comfiest boots I've owned but they don't seem to last long. Mine are ditched but i'll be having another pair
November 8, 200817 yr Dont think ive ever seen a poof on a bike before You didn't see Jake ride the SSDT then?
November 8, 200817 yr You didn't see Jake ride the SSDT then? White Alpinestars....nuff said......post pic when I get home unless you have one handy Andy Edited November 8, 200817 yr by Slapshot 3
November 8, 200817 yr It's not justified at all Unbalanced! You're mates are just not manly enough to carry such a boot off, let them stick with their black, brown, or maybe, oooooooohhh, blue boots. Wear them with pride I've got the Astars and in proud poofy white. The most comfy boot I've EVER owned, including road race, MX, Timberland and Wellies. I see a lot of people make reference to them falling apart, I can only speak from my own experience and say that mine have been brilliant, I have had them for two and half years and they are fine. I ride about 10 -15 hours a month so they've had plenty of use. I have worn a hole on one ankle but only because I stupidly rub them against the chain. I love 'em, whatever the colour, but especially in Vegas suit white
November 8, 200817 yr Beat me to it..... I too wear Alpinestars however when I ordered them I did steer clear of the white... I quote Mrs Slapshot "FFS don't get the white they'll make you look like a poof"..... Years ago my old man bought white Gaerne's (they even sound right) same treatment Evidence is building up
November 8, 200817 yr Hate to say this but Dougie rides in white Alpinestars, he's definately no poof! Big John (not a poof either!)
