AdamR28 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 i dont know how you people can say the ribos have good ankle support, its just a bit of friggin neoprene.Ribos aren't meant to have ankle support - if you want ankle support from a shoe then you need to wear basketball boots or a separate ankle support.The neoprene sock is in place to conform to BIU ankle protection criteria.CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 After seeing my mates Try-Alls I'd steer clear of them. Literally have fallen apart and he hasnt used them alot. Anyway, I haven't used or seen any other trials shoes can't really comment on them, just know that the Try-Alls wouldn't be a long lasting shoe.

AdamR28 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Release date?Estimated Retail price?They are available now but we thought we'd give some a good test and get some rider opinions before committing to buying any. Obviously all the colours are not final!Retail price is around £50.The model name is Ribo 'Urban', and they are available from all official Ribo retailers.Pictures of Ali's test set - apologies for the poor quality, just grabbed these in a rush:CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Limburn Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 go for try-allsthey generally last ages, are very comfy, good grip, look alright, one of the cheaper options... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchy Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The idea of a trials shoe for me is to have better feel. Therefore a thinner sole. Its going to be pretty consuming (time and money) to developa good trials shoe that will last.The fact that the try-all shoe itself rips is something that manufacturers can get around, but then again whats the point if their sponsored riders get a new pair pretty easily and they only sell X pairs a year, not everyone wants a trials shoe.To me it is a bit of a catch 22 situation, how can you have a great feel and have the shoe lasts a decent amount of time.I'd be interested in trying the new Ribo's - my try all's have given up the ghost.Out of interest, how long do people expect a trials shoe to last? Im talking pixie boots here, Try-all, Ribo etc.At the current price of trials shoes id want one pair to last a year (woah what a skin flint! lol)Also, i found Yiks to be even weaker than Try alls,material wise. They just ripped after a couple of rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketchy Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I have just got my viz shoes and there ace really comfy and light. How much of the sole on this shoe is there own design?What good is the shoe if the sole gives...The shoe itself isnt a rebrand (as far as i am aware?). Only time will tell how good these shoes are.They may have to re work the price if Tarty gets in the Ribo's mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Limburn Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Out of interest, how long do people expect a trials shoe to last?a year or so i think, which means im due a new pair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 6months of solid riding seems about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchy Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 6months of solid riding seems about right.True, it depends on how often you ride. I dont think i ride often enough to say one pair should last everyone a year. What i do know is that I definately value my trials shoes, so i guess i wouldnt have a problem buying 2 pairs at 50/60 quid a pop should the original wear out. But only 1 pair going on the Ribo existing price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Im surprised that one has mentioned FiveTen Impact shoes(checkout ChainReaction cycles). Fiveten are the grippiest shoes out on the biking market today period ...unfortunately, they are ugly looking.
