ELRUKO:
RON: Get the compression release! You need it before suspension at 62. I know...
Rock_93:
Try SIDI's or Garnies they have tougher soles. Also slowly pushing past the compression stroke before giving it a good kick will help.

I spent my whole life riding with cheap boots tech 3 ect, believe me and everyone else... buying a good pair of boots is the best thing you can do for your feet. you can buy a pair of tech 3s three times a year or a pair of sidi and have them for a decade... you pick? most if not all "pro" level boots have replacement parts, so you can replace the kickstart piece on the sole with just a few screws. a pair of nice boots is something you will never regret, not to mention there significantly more comfortable on the feet.

He also told me that he has set up both my bikes last year for trail riding for my height and weight. I guess I forgot.
Also he said KX500 has longer wheel base and grater rake than KDX220 therfore not as nimble in trails.
I am now more informed.

I felt the k5 is plenty nimble in the woods and that is woods single track. The kdx always felt like a pig to me. The k5 can also be a torque monster if set up right.
