Personally for me Gaerne or Alpinestars but you pay's your monies and makes a choice.
I find the Gaerne are a bit wider and a bit more comfortable.

Forma boulders every time, super comfortable for enduro and trail riding, not so good for MX.

Forma Boulder trials boots

Price acceptable.

 They are quite reasonable price!, what makes them not so good for motocross?

 Looking at the prices quickly I would only have to sell 1 leg. if I was doing it every weekend I could justify it but I'm down to about once a month now unfortunately.

 +2 They have soles that are easy to replace so in the longer term are a very economic and well made boot

 Motocross boots have a slippery sole for those berms etc, plus there are a lot sturdier in the sole, ankle area and are longer in the calf.

So surely for enduro you wouldn't want a motocross style boot then really? What if you need to get off and push?. But there no less or more protection really?

I love my Forma and Diadora boots. Very comfortable too. They both have MX soles that I have found are excellent for green laning, motocross and enduro.
BUT ..... the build quality I have found lacking ! The stitching rots and they fall apart. Shame really !
On the upside, I still have my pair of Alpinestars "DeCoster" boots that I bought in 1978. No rotting of stitching there.
For the price and fit I would still go for another pair of Forma MX boots though. They do have some tread on the sole that is angled so your foot does not catch when sticking it down, but is good for pushing the bike when you get stuck.

I've got a pair of size 9 Alpinestar Tech 3 boots for sale, they're the treaded all terrain ones like these  http://shop.1stmx.co.uk/alpinestar-tech-3-all-terrain-motocross-and-enduro-boots-12274-p.asp

Only worn 3 times (about 7 hours in total) so barely broken in.

They cost  £180 , open to sensible offers.

Genuine reason for sale, they're the best boots I've had.

Sidi crossfire are great, but very narrow I found.
The sidi adventure boots are really comfy, and not too expensive.
