jsychem Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Do many people use try-alls or ribos? Which are better? I'm thinking of getting a pair of Try-alls to save my normal shoes and as they look like normal trainers i won't look a goon. But what benefits do ribos have over try-alls as they are moer expensive and would you say that they (trials specific shoes)are necessary?

EssexGalTay Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 They arent a neccesity i dont think although is you are going to then i definatly would say ribos although more expensive they are worth it, i used to have some but personally prefer to ride in trainers so now i just havea seperate pair of trainers for riding so it doesnt matter if they get wreked xTay.. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsychem Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Why did you stop using them? Did they wear out? If so how long did they last? Thanks, adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.McMillan Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 TRY ALL shoes are pretty good but the soles wear pretty quick, after a few weeks and got fat gouges from the pedal pins because the rubber is so soft but grippy as buggery, but they do give highish ankle protection too, i wouldnt buy another set, prob deck shoes i like globes, or i might try ribo's next everyone seems to say they last longer and they got better ankle protectionTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil Jsy Chris Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I love my Ribos but they do look a bit wierd and are probably weeker than the Try Alls so if I were you I would go for the Try Alls.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant H Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) I go naked, its always nice to have the wind in your hair, when it blows , vigourously, sometimes really hard the youre blown off and get up and ride again Edited July 18, 2007 by Grant H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
