nathie wafie Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, im in desperate need of need riding shoes, i was going to order either the Tryall boots again but they die pretty quickly! The Ribo AS-1's look awesome and ive never heard of any problems with them. But ive found another pair of Ribo's that a few big name riders abroad are using, curious if anyone here has any? and if so basically if any good?Heres the link:http://www.trial-bikes.com/ribo-shoes-p-5047.htmlI love how these look, just if im guna invest best part of £100 on shoes (inc post) then i want to be certainNathP.S i know theres been topics on the main two pairs of 'comp' shoes, just these have never been mentioned.

Matt Vandart Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 They look pretty cool.I'm pretty sure there is someone selling these on e-bay (new all sizes)How long did your tryall's last? I have had mine a good few months now and they are still fine and I ride pretty much every day.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathie wafie Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Really?? i might check ebay out!My tryalls lasted 3months, maybe 4. Dont get me wrong they are really nice to ride in, just have litterally fallen apart now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 What size are you Nath? We had a few sample sets of these through, didn't order any though as the shape is a bit weird (long, thin and straight). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deonn h Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Look wank, why would you even wear them, buy trainers with good grip. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Winton. Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Expensive to say they probably wont last as long as a decent set of mtb shoes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibi123 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I purchased a previous model of these and i was not impressed with the quality. Yes they were probably the grippyest shoes on platform pedals i have worn and very light. But i found that within months the sole started to work loose of main body. Personally i would invest in a good mountain biking shoe. Rather than a trials specific one. Its up to you and hope I have been of some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.mitch Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 The newer Ribo's are better quality than the old ones, I've found. I had the same problem with the sole in the previous model, new ones (red buckle) seem to better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
