The inserts I purchased four years ago have as of yet to deform or crush under the toe, ball or heal area. What more could anyone wish for. And for a damned lot less than the other alternatives!

More than $0.02 worth!

pm you my bill!

funny you should mention newbalance... my boots are dunham boots...made by newbalance....they are every bit as comfortable as any pair of sneakers I ever wore...currently the most comfortable shoes I own. Unfortunately they don't make my boot anymore.

Well, I have been looking at some of the threads lately. I havn't quite made up my mind if I want to go with a 3/4 or FF. If I go with a 3/4 I like the looks of the Fulmer V2. I have a big head (7 3/4 baseball hat) and I don't really want a mushroom head, but if it means better saftey than I can live with it.

As for FF, there are a lot of different ones that I like, i guess it will come down to actually trying them on and see which is most comfortable.

Any DOT helmet= mushroom head, that's the trade-off for a bit of safety. I like the V2 and I found a place in OKC that carries them. They had every size in stock except the XL, so I'm waiting for their next shipment to arrive. It seems these helmets run a bit on the small side.

Check out the Scorpion EX-900. It's a FF modular that converts to a 3/4. It has plenty of vents. My wife has one and she really likes it in the FF mode. She hasn't tried the 3/r mode yet. I wear a half myself.

the podiatrist that did my foot surgery to reset an old broken bone will be interested to know that he isn't a real doctor. I wonder if the board the certified him knows?!?
