After viewing the recently posted video of the Zaragoza indoor trials, Toni is wearing a different verison of the Alpinestars trial boots. The back of the boot has a longer flex panel then the present boot. Is Alpinestar releasing a new improved trials boot?

Toni and Fuji have been wearing prototype boots for years, the production boot hasn't change since it came out, except the quality doesn't seem to be as good as it they were. Then again, there may be a new boot next year, Fuji and Bou's boots use a different sole aswell.

Many of the top riders have always had special boots - especially for indoor trials.

Tarres, Bosis, Ahvala etc all did in the 90's so not a new thing

One purple pair Bosis had looked ultra thin and trainer like in the way they bent and flexed.
