Boots
I was just inspecting my A* SMX Boots that are now retired. My right boot has definitely more wear then the left. First the toe is worn out to almost my toes poke through and the balls of the boot are extremely worn almost to the point it is going through the sole. It is clearly obvious that i put more weight on my right side the left.
so does anyone else have similar wear or is it all even? pics to come later. |

My first pair of A* race boots (bought used) had some similar wear. I thought it was normal at the time, I have since learned better.

I know the Toes was due to poor body position, i have since leaned better posture, but the balls of the feet, are going to get torn up regardless, which is why i got the Sidi Vortice. Replaceable plates on the balls!
