Trials Boots
Perhaps this has been covered before. Has anyone used Trials boots instead of conventional MX boots? My old Alpinestars will need to be replaced soon, I would like to get something that provides more traction when pushing/ walking. I just don't want something with an aggressive lug sole that tries to "grab" every clump of dirt. Has anyone modified a sole to get more foot traction and maintain the boot's ability to "skim over" the dirt, sticks, rocks, etc? Thanks, Jim.

The Sidis also have an optional replacement sole that is more grippy. The boots graham Jarvis used to use (w2??) were quite trialsy

I use the Sidi discovery boots. Very comfortable and h2o proof. Good for walking around even.

Trials boots are 10 times more confortable than any MX/Enduro because they allow you move the ankle. So, you can walk, use rear brake and move like usual.
The sole is made with same rubber that they made the tyres. Veeery grippy. The problem is the (ankle) protection....

My next try will be the Gearne balance oiled. Not sure why everyone is so intent on motocross boots for trail rippin. Unless racing or really hard core. Myself would rather break my lower leg than a knee or femur.

I've caught hell a few times, getting ready for a day of minimal riding, with lots of trail maintenance. I wear steel-toed, well oiled leather work boots. After an hour of clomping around in mx boots, most everyone wishes they had reconsidered their choices in all-around work wear. On days that I just go for a sight seeing lollygag ride...shin guards under some Carhart's, chest protector over my jacket, and of course my leather boots. Sometimes comfortable wins the day...so far no spills to to change my mind.
