Muel Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have a problem, I need some new trials shoes. I have some Monty ones, but they are really uncomfertable.This is because I have really wide feet, and the sides of my feet hang off either side of each shoe, and they dig into my feet making my feet ache really badly.I need to know, are there any shoes that have a wider sole than the Monty ones on the market at the moment? If not I'll just keep riding in skate shoe type things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid creole Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) I reckon these tryall ones look quite wide.http://www.try-all.com/index.php?lg=fr_FR&...;id=&media= Edited April 22, 2008 by kid creole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate had some Try-Alls, they fell to peices, so I was thinking along the lines of Ribo, North Wave etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 i just wear normal trainers to , i dont really see the point in trials shoes its just a waste of money.The pins get stuck in the sole on my skate shoes, which is really annoying because I can't just hop and slide my foot into the right place.

Luke Rainbird Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 They'll wear in (both the pedals and the shoes) meaning you're not 'stuck' to the pedal, whilst still having the grip availablePersonally, I run skate shoes, because I can't justify spending lots more money on pixie boots, however I know a lot of riders who wear them and swear by them and they're top lads on and off the bike, so there must be something in it all!

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Pixie boots have a place in comps and on natural but I very rarely wear them on the street. At comps I just like having the pixie's on knowing that it doesn't matter if I end up sticking my foot in a stinking bog whereas I'd be annoyed if I did that while wearing nice skate shoes.With regards Muel, the Ribo's are quite narrow when new but do stretch a bit with use. However, if you're only riding street then I'd go with skate shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Ribos are the same fit as montys, they use exactly the same sole.Andy B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've just got one pair of shoes for everything (Quicksilver somethings?)I wear them biking, to school, basicly everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 i am the opposite to you, i have very narrow feet, and the ribos were tightish on my feet, i actually reckon the tryall will be best for your foot shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Worn Ribbo's they were shit and look alien, used to swear by court traditions, but now im back to the good old skate shoe... just the perfect rigid sole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 f**k it, I'll make do with skateshoes. £70 is a lot of money for a bit more grip, a bit less hassle, and a pair of shoes that are uncomfertable and fall to pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 used to swear by court traditionsYeah I had 4 pairs of them... Didn't last that long though...I've got nike 6.0s for riding. f**king hate the way they look (wiiiide) but they are designed around BMX pedals, so my feet will not come off the pedals even when I want them to. Bit better looking than bender boots, but not by far. Normally wear stan smiths, air max ltds or my adidas superstars so feel like a riiiight wanker when people see me in these huge shoes. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
