lacho Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hello again, i have been looking further into buying boots and i have found a few pairs although most seem to be too expensive like the hebo boots and the sidi zeros. The diadora stone 2 is about right in terms of price and the alpinestars no stop looks good but is a bit pricey. I was wondering if people could tell me what these boots are like if they own them and also if they could recomend any other boots between 100 and 150 quid. Thanks for your help.

swooshdave Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 We've been using ATV boots if you need a lower cost alternative. More flexible, treaded sole and not as hi-tech looking (for the vintage folks). Typically a good boot will be US$100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwrev3 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Had two pairs of Alpinstars now and can't complain about the comfort. Only downside is that both pairs have come unstitched above the foot towards the inside of the boot, where the leather meets the synthetic material. I got the second pair repaired for less than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacho Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thanks for the replys, i have got a pair of alpinestars on ebay I tried on a pair of alpinestars tech3 motocross boots and they were extremely rigid and hard and i was wondering if the trials boots will be any more flexible and softer because the tech3s really restricted movement. Can anyone give me an opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Lacho, MX boots are for MX, Trials boots are for Trials, there is a very big difference between them, get yourself Trials boots period Edited July 15, 2007 by The Addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone give me an opinion? Don't worry, if it is the Astars trials boots that you've bought, then they are really comfortable. Mine were super comfy from the first time of wearing and have just got better. They are my first ever pair of trials boots, [newish to trials] so I am not an expert however I can compare them to my road/roadrace, MX and even my trainers come to that and they are be my first choice of footwear. Had mine for abou 10 months now, wear them once to twice a week and no problems at all, as yet. Got a funeral to go to this week and I would wear them there if they went with my suit.
