I made a mistake right off the bat with Alpinestars' Tech 7 Enduro Drystar adventure boots. What mistake, you ask? I didn't break them in before my time behind the bars of Kawasaki's new KLE500. In fact, I hadn't even worn them before setting off on the six-hour ride through Southern Utah, which wound through public lands, national parks, fire roads, paved gloriousness, and a small section of technical off-road.
I just popped them out of the box, threw on my off-road gear, buckled up the boots, and set off for the day. My feet and ankles, however, almost immediately let me know of my error. An error that's about as bone-headed as you can make, especially for someone like myself who's been riding off-road for as long as I care to remember.
