JT! Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Well, my try-all boots are nearly divided into 3 now so i need some new ones. It sounds like the ribos are the considerd to be the best, does that still hold true? And is there any other place to buy them apart from here. Cheers. (Y) Edited September 29, 2005 by JT!

aust Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) best shoes ever... last well....... thats the only place you can get them from.. tis the butlers company.... (pm danny b on here) for more info.. or ring them using the contact details displayed on the site :- currently sporting some bling silver ones(new model).... which seem to last forever (even longer than previous ribo shoes...) and the old ribos lasted forever aswell... john evans has had his ribo's since the first release of the coustellier and they are still going..

Bionic Balls Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Of the lot they do feel and look nicest (according to Mr.Butcher)....but his still fell apart in around a month...which I think is crazy for the prices (Y) Just think about how many cheap pairs of trainers you could get from TK Maxx with a nice waffly sole.... adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 ribo > * they're the bestest shoes ever. going from monty shoes to ribos was like going from ballet shoes to proper trials shoes. I'd rather have 1 pair of Ribo than 10 pairs of shitty quality, uncomfortable trainers with soles that don't work as well as the Davos sole...

JIX Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Addidas trainers are the best. :rolleyes: And they dont fall apart. The pins wear through the sole before they fall apart, and that takes a good couple of years. Never used trial shoes, never will. Unless I ride a world round, so never.

Mark W Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'd still definitely, definitely go for the FiveTen shoes *any* day. Ridiculously grippy soles (maybe even too grippy for trials, but once you get used to them you should be fine), special "sticky" compound rubber, and another plus point - the clincher for me - is that they don't look like utter shite :rolleyes: http://www.fiveten.com/product.php?TYPE=shoes&CAT=Freeride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 they look bloody awful :rolleyes: .. look like those shoes little girls have with the roller skates that come out of the soles.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Having seen people wearing them in real life, they look 10x better than those f**king pixie boots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) those five tens dont have ankle support either... the silver ones look well nice anyhow(ribos that is) Edited September 30, 2005 by aust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 they look bloody awful :rolleyes: .. look like those shoes little girls have with the roller skates that come out of the soles.... lmao! so true, those shoes are fatass ugly. ribo's have quite bearable looks imo, but who really cares, if they grip then that's all that matters.

tom e Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I bought some ribo's from michel coust about 3 months ago, silver ones (well they're more like a grey now). The difference going from standard trainers to these was amazing. So much more grip, much more comfortable and in my opinion look fairly nice aswell :rolleyes: tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 yah... your riding in them... not going clubbing in them... you wanna be comfy... not making sure your looking like a pimp everytime you set foot outside... Yes, but unfortunately Aust some of us don't have enough money to spend £80 on a pair of shoes just for riding? My Orchid Teem shoes are super grippy, and I can wear them to work, when I'm going out, and basically any time. They pushed my budget, so I'd rather have something I could actually wear for more than just riding, really. Plus, personally, if I'm spending £80 on some item of clothing I'd rather it didn't look completely shit. Ah well, to each their own I guess.

Damon W Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 the best shoes ive EVER used are by far the innopias, me and Dave@Tartybikes both have them and both agree they are the comfiest trainers ever!! got a real nice feal through the sole and just enough support. :$ £39.99 :lol: means their cheaper then most too, and come in a WIDE range of styles and sizes to suit. ^^^^non biased opinion too^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
