smx-r

I realize that they aren't SMX-Plus boots so that may be where we're divergent but they are a "newer" model of the SMX line.

and the SMX-5

I thought it was just my ears from the race baffles in the exhaust...I guess they don't squeak as much if at all when they are hot. :lol:

HAHAHAHA! Believe it or not, they stop squeaking if it's really hot. It's about 85-90 outside and I did a few "hot laps" and I walked up the stairs to my apt and noticed there wasn't any squeak!:lol: Here's the funny part, now I've been sitting in the AC and guess what? SQUEAKING!!!!:lol:

:lol: :lol:

This is true, I meant gear wise though. I could be wearing similar gear to hers, this way Id be extra safe in the garage working on my bike.

Oh I wasn't implying you were wrong but I was like damn it figures I only bought my 4 months ago.... and there's already a better version out...

they are different though and I would have stuck with the plus style with the metal shank since they are mainly for the track and I'd guess that would hold up better....who knows.

FWIW I have two pairs of the plus boots, one pair of the old SMX-3s, a pair of Icons and a pair of Joe Rockets....I pick the sqeakers every time!:rockwoot:

My A* squeek like a bitch too. I put a piece of electrical tape under the ankle armour and it quieted them down a little.

mines dont smx-5 comfortable as all hell and no squeky boots for me
