Good thread as I'm in the market for boots.

I have too but I just ride around my house mostly so I don't want to buy some for a lot and just use them for rec. riding and my foot is still growing so I don't want to wear them for a month and then have to sell them because they don't fit. But if I find some cheap ones I will buy them because right now I am using an old pair of Nike Shox. So boots would be quite an upgrade.

Sizing(What size did you get?,do the run big or small?): 11, spot on

yea I wear 11 ish right now too.

If you can't afford proper riding gear you can't really afford to ride, medical bills could end up setting you back a small fortune. CL is full of cheap riding boots, I sold my Tech 3's for $20 last week.
