serious3 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 was thinking about a pair of these boots and as i'm on a budget they look ideal, but the old adage you get what you pay for keeps springing to mind. has anyone any opinions on these?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-FORMA-GRIPPER-OF...=item45ec95dc81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_scorpa3 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 They do look like excellent value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motodaz Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I've got a pair of Gripper 2 boots, albeit an older version of them, my only complaint is the leather isn't particularly tough, I've got a hole in the side of mine from where they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmoor Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Got a pair of these boots from santa, they are end of line boots and a new version is out soon, but I think great value for money, comfy to start with new so should get better with use.

pedronicman Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Diadora and Forma boots are both made by the same company- HTS in Italy. Forma is their own main brand (but cheaper) Diadora boots are the basically the same but better version of boot , but HTS only licence the 'Diadora' name to produce a ' branded name boot' that people recognise. The Diadora boots are not made by the same Diadora company as football eqiupment etc as the name is licensed. This is the same for trials , mx and road boots Vesty UK/Apico import Diadora trials/mx boots RaceFX import Forma trials/mx boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmspear Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I had a pair for the last year, great boot, waterprrof, supple, good protection, comfy and hard wearing, wore for both trials and enduro only issue was the insole came loose inside, but easily fixed, otherwise perfect. Have treated myself and my son to a new pair for xmas, as at this price would be rude not to upgrade, whilst you can get them cheap. Difference for the latest over the year old model was extra leather wear rubbing patches which were not present on old model so should not get rubbed by frame now (didn't have this problem myself as tend to position my feet on outside of footrests. Would recommend them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
