chewy Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I found one photo of diadora mud boot 279 australia dollars picture looked like trials boots to me grip sole etc. you really need some grippy soles.. most folk walk sections and feel for grip..you won't get much feel from smooth soles! If they have grippy soles and look like trials boots for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caddabs Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 thanks all - these are the chaps. www.mad4motox.com/89,diadora-trials-boot-mud.html (must read how to do a hyperlink) have considered the gripper 2, but not sure i can sneak the extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I must admit I think we're kidding ourselves. Those grips don't look too bad to me, I'd be tempted to try them out next time at 80 quid a pop rather than paying double for next to nothing extra.

caddabs Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 My Diadora Mud's have just arrived ! I take a 9 shoe so bought a size 10 and they are so comfy straight out of the box. It must have taken me best part of a year to break in a pair of walking boots, but these are like slippers. Really soft. First impressions are that perhaps they may be factory seconds as the leather on the boot is scuffed, and knocked in a few places, but perhaps they are meant to look like that? You pay your money and take your chances i guess. A few minutes in mud and it wont notice anyway. Very comfortable, very flexible and looking forward to giving them a go on the bike. I ride about once or twice a month so fine for me. Worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
