Trials Gear

I have a pair of Gaerne Balanced oil - after approx 3 months of riding once or twice a weeks the soles are holed !! My footpegs are in decent nick. Has anyone else had this problem ? I emailed Gaernes website and got no response,What should I get next ? certainly wont be Balanced oils, which is a shame cos they are lovely.

does anyone know of a good alternative to use other than the gaerne boot paste on the oiled boots. I just got a new pair and forgot to get any gaerne paste. Could i use mink oil?

The sole on my Gaerne Balance oiled boots have now worn flat. Has anyone any experience of resoling, using these soles? Pair Soles Boots Trial Gaerne Balance | eBay Thanks

Could someone tell me how Gaerne boots measure up? I wear a size 46 shoe. Do I need to go up a boot size? Thanks.

Anybody have solutions for fixing a sole that is wearing through from footpeg pressure? Would rather fix than buy new boots if possible. Resole? Shoe Goo? Flex Seal? Cheers

Thinking about a new set of boots. Gaerne Balance Oiled or Gaerne Balance Black? About £60 difference. Any preferences or experience? Thanks

What is the difference between the Gaerne balance classic and the oiled brown leather boot? Is one better or more waterproof than the other?

Hi All, my Gaerne Balance "waterproof" boots are now letting in water. They are about 18mths old and I've treated them with Gaerne polish after every event but I think the issue is the folding membrane possibly at its base where the fold tucks are really tight. Anyone know if this membrane can be repaired or replaced? Ian E 06 Montesa 4RT 81 Ossa Gripper 350

I currently have the gaerne oiled boots, such a comfy boot, but after a good soaking they become extremely soft and i nearly ripped my little toe off at the reeth, so has anyone tried the standard gaernes? Are they a little tougher when wet?

has anyone tried having their boots resoled . boots are ok but soles worn out. They would need stitching and glueing at a cobblers if replacement sole are available . This must be cheeper than new ones.

Just about to order some Gaerne Balance Classic boots and just noticed that some websites recommend going up a size due to the inner waterproof liner, is that the case? I'm usually a UK9/euro43 so which should I order? UK 9 - Euro 43 UK 9.5 - Euro 44 UK 10 - Euro 45 Thanks

Anyone no of a place to get replacement buckles and soles for an older pair of Garene balance boot? These have the wire bail that attaches to the buckle. I'm in the U.S. Thanks!

I've recently bought a pair and would like to look after them. Do they need re-oiling after being washed? I've had a google around but can't find anything on how to look after them.

Hi all, I know there is a ton of threads about boots and I've read most of em, but still have some questions. Lots of people seem to like the gaerne oiled boots for their feel and comfort. Can someone comment on the amount of protection offered? Is there some internal ankle protection built in? Does not look like much. I'm also considering the forma. These look very similar. Can someone comment on the protection of the formas vs the gaerne? Also considering the alpinestars, the sidis, and the TCX. These seem to be a bit closer to the mx boots I'm used to. Coming from mx I'm thinking any of these are going to feel very light to me. Any feedback on the TCX boots? Lastl…

hi, has anyone had the soles replaced on gaerne boots and can point me in the right direction for getting them done.

Going for a new pair of boot but my choise is between gaerne or alpinestars any sugestions?
