chuckmorris Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Are these boots any good for trials riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombush Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Chuck you can ride trials in motocross boots, but trials specific boots are more suitable. Trials boots are more flexible, shorter and have flat soles. They are more comforatable and give you the feel that you need. A good trials rider will still be a good trials rider in motocross boots though. Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkletoes Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) no you will very very rarely (never) see anyone at a trial in enduro/ moto x boots. too smooth, too rigid in the ankle and sole. you may sometimes see the odd pair of saftey wellies, or walking boots. these would be a better alternative i think. you need grip to walk the sections, dab the floor and feel the footrests. lets be honest, you can either ride the bike or you can't but this type of boot is very ill-suited to trials, so it certainly wont help in my opinion.

chuckmorris Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for the advice. Can you recommend some cheap boots? Just starting out and I don't want to spend a fortune just yet. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckmorris Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Tried a few on and went for the Gaernes in dark brown. They are sooo comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gser Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I manage OK with a pair of Tech 3's. But I use the enduro model with a chunky sole, not the flat soled MX boots. My boots are quite old now, so are well worn in and Flexible. I dont think a new pair of MX boots would make riding trials very easy as they are too stiff.
