heffergm Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Here's another site advertising them... they even claim to have some available (just not in the funky color scheme): http://www.motostorm.it/en/clothing/boots/alpinestars-tech-t-boot-white-red.html Edited July 22, 2016 by heffergm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Your not kidding, how dose Tech T relate to Trials othe than the letter T... Way cool looking though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul7 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 How are the older model Alpinestars soles for feeling the pegs, I bought a pair of Novogars, didn't really need a boot in a way but got tired of cooking my leg on the exhaust, anyway they fit good, lots of protection there if I needed it, soles are thick and stiff though, would probably last forever, just can't feel the pegs through them.

guys Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 How are the older model Alpinestars soles for feeling the pegs, I bought a pair of Novogars, didn't really need a boot in a way but got tired of cooking my leg on the exhaust, anyway they fit good, lots of protection there if I needed it, soles are thick and stiff though, would probably last forever, just can't feel the pegs through them. The soles are noticeably stiffer than Gearnes for instance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul7 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks, I got to ride for a couple hours not long after I wrote that and they started feeling like they were breaking in some, or maybe I'm just getting use to riding with them, either way i'll stick with them for a while longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhuskys Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I ordered a pair of Tech T boots last night from the UK, after talking to Lewisport about my pre-order status. They said my size was not available and didn't know when, so they suggested I cancel it. I searched and found them in stock. With GB Pound down, price was so good, I blew the $19.95 to upgrade the shipping and DHL texted me today, that they will be here Friday. I can't wait to try them, as my Gaerne's are like Birkenstocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 They definitely aren't like Gaerne's. They're really more like No Stops with replaceable soles, a slightly smaller toe box, and a little more padding. I'd say they're a little more compliant in the sole compared to the NoStops, but not by much if at all. Which is fine by me, I prefer that to the Gaerne's.

nhuskys Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 They'll get broken in quickly, as I have a lot of trail work to do for an AHRMA XC/MX race in October and with my last enduro of the season this weekend.... I'm going to spend a lot of time on the Fantic and Gas Gas after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Have you had a pair of NoStops? The soles don't break in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhuskys Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Have you had a pair of NoStops? The soles don't break in No I haven't.... I figure if they are too stiff for trials, they'll be my new trail work/dual sport boots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhuskys Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) They came late today and I rode in them for about 45 minutes, in the 2 small sections I have off my driveway. The boots feel awesome to me. I can feel the pegs, but don't feel barefoot like the Gaerne Balance Oil boots. I can shift and it doesn't hurt!

jonnyc21 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I wanted a pare before, but with a review like that I want a pare even more now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
