New Tech 10's hurting my foot...

[2strokerider15]

hey guys, i searched but i couldn't find anything on this. I just picked up a new pair of tech 10's and and have been wearing them around the house to help break them in but they hurt the outside of my foot right were the bone is. Have any of you tech 10 owners experienced this? does it go away with break in?

p.s.- its only the right boot

No never. Tech 10's fit me perfect from the second I put them on. Did you try them on before purchasing or did you purchase online. Are the boots you bought big enough? Quite a lot of guys who buy tech 10's for the first time find that they need to go up a size from the boots they were wearing previous. Tech 10's definitely get a much better feel once broken in, but the fit remains the same.

Contrary to what has been posted Tech 10s for me are always tighter than a biatch to put on when they are either new or having been sitting all winter. I just got another pair last week from the TT-store and they are no-different. Tight at first but walk around a lot after a few hours you don't even know they are on. I have walked ( because my engine blew-up) 10kms (6-miles-ish) with brand new tech 10s on pushing my bike, the day after they seemed unwearable they were so damn tight.

Boots are very personal thing. I have very skinny, boney ankles. I have a pair of tech 6s that I love so I bought a pair of tech 10's. I had the 10s for 2 or 3 years and they killed my ankles the whole time never broke it. I took the torsion bars completely off the bootie and that made them tolerable but never pain free. I sold them and bought a pair of Gaerne SG12s. They hurt my ankles for 2-3 rides and finally broke in.

I had a very similar experience with tech 10's. I used to wear tech 6's, tried SIDI's, not for me. bought a pair of tens could not stand the ankle support in the bootie sold them on e bay and got a pair of tech 8's and I feel that they are way better. I am pretty picky about boots and shoes in general.
