Youth Moto-X boots for street riding

[The Snowman]

Since there doesn't seem to be ANY manufacturers who make a decent street riding boot for kids, would a youth moto-x boot be good for riding on the street?

Or are they too stiff?

I would think they would be just fine. He is a passenger so he doesn't need the articulation for shifting or braking. Plus they are a whole lot better than Nikes

*The above is my opinion. I am not a doctor or qualified in any way

+1 they keep your feet from being mangled off road, they will be fine for a street ride.

6 might be just a hair too big, but they'd give "growing room"

PK has a pair that you need to sell?? Why doesn't this make sense?

MX boots offer far more protection than street boots Perfect for a passenger IMO. If you end up with them, get the MX socks as well. They are MUCH more comfortable than regular socks and even offer a bit more protection/padding.

No one has answered the question of stiffness. Would they be too stiff for street riding? Aren't they a little stiffer than street boots?

Yes they are more stiff. Why would that matter for a passenger? I do not think they would be too stiff. I know a lot of dual sport riders that wear them on the street.

they use them for supermoto. no they are not too stiff for riding on pavement. they just have to break in like everything else

i got them and PK said.."i can sell those for ya" i said "ok" and they sit on a shelf in his shop. so if you want them, let me know, and ill get them from PK or something like that and we will work out a price. they are brand new never been worn Thor (i think) boots.

I could actually shoot down to GMD and take a look at them, since I live 3 miles from the shop.

Have to be next week though, since I'm in AR this week.

Cool. Maybe I'll hit your place up the next time I have him, which should be next Saturday.
