leggins Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) I bought a new pair of Novogar trials boots last July and to my disapointment I have wore a hole through the sole. The hole is about 20 mm x 30mm and located on the righthand boot instep. Has anyone had a pair of boots resoled or should i bite the bullet and buy a new pair maybe just use these in the dry months ?

barrybaines Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Now I'm sure I've seen soles for Diadora's and Hebo boots available too buy as an item? if so surely it'd be worth buying these and hobble along too your local cobblers?

I take it the new colour scheme has the new tougher soles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosser Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 All the new styke boots have the new sole by Vibram, My boots are over 18 months old now but the sole has hardly worn. I am very hard on boots/bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 That's more than good enough for me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilly lit Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Are you sure its not your foot pegs that are wearing all your boots out? Try Pivot pegs - my husband has had his Sidi boots for nearly a year and they are like brand new and they are used every weekend more or less.

It's just that Alpinestars last about three times longer than the Novogars. If the new Gars have tougher soles, then I'll go for those again.

Its not my pegs thats causing the damage its closer to my big toe , if anything its the back break pedal. The hole is now full of silicone and with a new plastic bag on my foot I should be dry for at least a couple of sections next Sunday . Wow those Oxtar boots Look good enough to go out in ..

essex rider Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I like the look of These and theyre cheap, they also claim they are waterproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Heard lots of good things about Oxtar road boots I must admit! Now who on here has loads of money and rides lots? maybe a SSDT entrant could kindly buy them and test ride them for the masses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggins Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I like the look of These and theyre cheap, they also claim they are waterproof Have you read the disclaimer about not being 100% waterproof. Wadind through streams is a little different from riding through the odd puddle. Therefore the use of that plastic bag from Next which appered when you got home from last sundays trial may be required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
