Ended up going with the Dominator Comp 2.0's. After talking to a buddy who, I found out from reading reviews, was the rider chosen for a long term test of the Predator boots. Got talking to him about them and he said while he loved them, he actually liked the Dominators more, as they had the little inner booties. Even though the Dominators were they're previous "latest and greatest" model, you can still buy them brand new directly from Forma. So that's what I did! The Formas are supposed to be some of the most comfortable boots to walk in, and since a lot of our rides do involve some foot exploring (or pushing of bikes, hahah), that was an important factor for me, aside from the riding protection

I definitely like the pivot..... doesn't bend and dig into your ankles when walking

The soles are super thick compared to my Fox boots..... I'm thinking I'll prob have to adjust my shift lever up a bit, lol

Seriously though I wanted to make sure everything fit with all the gear in place, and get buckles adjusted and whatnot. Everything fit great! Walked around in them for awhile and they are seriously comfortable

Old boots..... I think they were tired and ready for retirement, haha. Probably more like long overdue

I'm excited to get out and ride with them..... prob gonna head out Friday morning if it's not pouring rain. I have a feeling it'll be a night and day difference from the old ones. Hopefully they last a good long while too. All the reviews were excellent, and just looking and feeling them, the quality and fit/finish and materials seem to be top notch. The buckles are awesome, and everything is soooo much more rigid than the old boots. They do feel a little on the heavy side, but I suppose that's the price you pay for more protection and an overall better boot
Now next on my list is a pair of knee braces.... already wear the regular knee/shin guards, but want to get a set of actual braces
