The "Balance" series is synonymous with Gaerne's trial boots, loved by trial riders in Japan and around the world for many years. These boots conform to your feet, allowing you to feel the machine's movements to the maximum. The high degree of ankle freedom makes them suitable for precise bike control, and you can easily feel the brake operation.
The sole offers excellent grip, bites well into natural terrain, and walking comfort is also considered.
These boots are, in fact, highly suitable not only for trials but also for forest road touring.
Because they are based on trial boots, the soles are soft, allowing you to easily feel the ground beneath your feet.
Furthermore, the high degree of ankle freedom allows for delicate brake and shift operations.
These characteristics provide excellent control on technical forest roads, such as rocky surfaces and tight turns.
It is this balance of "ground feel" and "operability" that has earned them long-standing support from forest road touring users.
