ihaterocks Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ok I'm new to the whole trials world. I need to get a pair of boots since I will be competing in the near future. I have no way to try on a trials boot before I buy them. Should I try like a motocross boot or an enduro boot to get a general size? I want to get alpine stars if that makes a difference.

1oldbanjo Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 For us guys - I believe the boot size on the Gaerne boots is very close to shoe size.....I have no idea if the boots available has womens sizes or if you will have to find out what the equivalent mens size is for your feet. I have very wide feet and all motorcycle boots are tight on me as no one makes a boot in a larger widths. I have to wear very thin socks with my Gaerne boots to make it possible for me to wear them until I can stretch them out a bit. I did try on some motocross boots at a local motorcycle shop and they were horribly stiff and I am not sure how well the sizes relate to the available Trials boots - but it would certainly get you in the ballpark. Ryan Young Products is located about 1.5 hours away from me and I eventually just drove down to see them and tried on the boots at is shop.

Might order 1/2 size larger if you like adding padded insoles and thick socks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear like a 7 or 7 1/2 in mens so I should look at getting about 7 1/2 to an 8 then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
