Need some help. My friend and I are going to an ADV Rally around Thanksgiving. I'm not sure what to buy for footwear. My regular riding shoes won't cut it, but I don't know if I should spend almost $300 on some ADV Boots, or my local powersports dealer has some of these Moose dirt bike boots for $80. I'd think the cheap dirt bike boots would do the trick over something more expensive and stylish, and I don't really care about how I look on me on my V-Strom 650 for a 2 day trip.
I just don't know if cheap dirt bike boots are actually any good or if ADV boots are truly better for trial riding and aren't just more expensive for their looks. I just don't want to break my ankle because I fell over in a rut.
