You know what frosties i had the very same thought about an hour ago as i need some new boots.
Part of me says that the need for massive boots is mainly hype....although i personally feel that obviously boots will protect more of the body.....biking is a compromise between comfort & protection.
I think boots also have allot to do with my discomfort with lots of bikes and pegs as i dont have enough flex to comfortably change gear & it becomes a forced effort instead of a natural movement.
All that being said...i think i'll only consider leather bootlets...those ones look a bit too much fabric for my liking.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
