johnnyboxer Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Shorter length, more flexible, grip on soles I have both types of boots and would never consider MX/Enduro boots on a trials bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technowaldo Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 My son left trials and went back to mx but couldnt go back to mx boots andstill uses his alpinestars so much comfier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Get proper trials boots,motox boots are too heavy,soles are designed to slide on the surface,you want the opposite when you dab,they're not flexible enough and don't allow you the necessary feel.When you get a pair you'll realise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivebrick Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Trials boots rule. Absolutely way better than MX boots. Better feel on the pegs, way less stiff, way more comfortable. Get em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbelly Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Dont buy MX boots. They are just that, MX boots. Different animal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffe Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi, yep all of the above plus I find the same applies to proper trials specific pants and gloves. Guys that have worn m/c helmets at the start soon find trials helmets are the go. Cheers Taff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadof2 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 My son left trials and went back to mx but couldnt go back to mx boots andstill uses his alpinestars so much comfier I strongly recommend your son uses MX boots for MX. Trials boots have far too much grip and will cause severe knee injury sooner or later and accelerated knee wear in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffergm Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Extra grip aside, MX boots have tons more protection than trials boots. You'd never catch me on the enduro bike with trials boots. I'd have broken toes and feet more times than I care to remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-Clark Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Old Topic i know, but still relevant, I bet if you put any top trials rider of your choice in a pair of MX Boots and most of us on here in the best Trials boots money can buy we would still get hammered.
