Thinking of getting a pair ronix ones or Frank's or Preston . The last two seem pretty flexy and the one seems like their stiffest boot. Would appreciate any feedback from people riding with either boot. Thank you in advance

Been on the Parks (Bonifay) since I converted to boots 2-3 years ago. They've taken a beating and I've loved them. The right heel stitching has come apart but the boots are holding.

So, highly recommended. But I can't compare to others you mentioned.

I have 2011 Ronix Franks and they are still running strong. It's all about Stiff these days but i'd just go for saving $, they all ride well. Size is huge, in my opinion. I'm a 10.5 and I went with tighter (10) after I went with larger (11), it was a little uncomfortable at first but it is much nicer to ride with a snug/tight fit.

everyone online says to go one size up with ronix, I am normally a 10.5 but thinking 12s !!

Maybe there is something up with the newer models I don't know about... sorry if I am giving you bad advice.

I have the Ronix Frank's and I agree with going up a size. I'm a 12 and ride a 13 and find it fits well. That way you could also wear a neo sock underneath in cold weather.

not at all, thank you the advice. Real world advice is always better than online reviews etc

Thanks... I think I will go with Frank's.
