·Any words on the B-2 or Vertigo race boots?
My corsa's piss me off! they get caught on my stock rearsets. I went off track once trying to get my boot uncaught. i think i'll get oxtar next time.
I was thinking of the B-2 because of the lower price. I'd probably wear them for one trackday a year and some spirited canyon riding, possibly as a riding boot to work, then change into my work shoes there. I like the idea of riding with my lower legs protected. So many bike injuries happen to the lower leg in general. As far as wearing them off the bike, won't happen much at all.Fastrr...
HUGE price delta between the B-Two and the Vertigo Corsa boot. What type of riding do you need them for primarily, and how much will you need to wear them on AND off the bike?
Boots are expensive to change up and buy a different pair when yours are still good. Why not try a different heel guard, or bend your heel guards in a little. Heel guards are inexpensive so bending them or changing them out is really no big thing.The ankle braces on my COrsas get caught in the bike's heelguard... very annoying. I think I'm gonna start taping them up. Otherwise, everything else about the boot is great. The ceramic toe sliders have probably kept me from shearing a few of my toes off.

For your use, the B-Two is fine. In fact, it's basically their previous generation Vertebra boot which was an excellent track/race boot too. For your needs, the Vertigo Corsa is serious overkill. I mean, it's a great boot, but like any protective gear their is a level of seriously diminished returns and I think you would be well suited with the B-Two.
