If you want an off-road boot, trials and Enduro boots are great if you are learning. I always wear trials boot personally. They have good protection, but they are a lot slimmer and offer great feel. The ones you are looking at the toucan look good. Tech 7 will feel bulky I think. Try them on though and see.

On the topic of safety kit I'm in the market for boots...
I'm trying to decide between two Alpinestars offerings:
Tech 7 Enduro Drystar
Toucan Gore-Tex
I can't decide if the Tech 7 would just be overkill and pointless for anything other than hard-core ADV riding, they're supposed to be ok to walk in compared to proper MX boots but obviously will be a lot less comfortable than Toucan which is more of an ADV/ Touring boot...
I'm probably going to do most of my riding on road but I really do fancy the idea of some off reading in the future and they're both spendy enough that I don't want to have to buy twice...
I've got some Rev'it riding sneakers for very casual stuff so I don't know that I'd entirely mind the Tech 7?
