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 fullest. The high degree of ankle flexibility makes them suitable for precise bike control and allows for easy sensing of brake operation.
The sole offers excellent grip, bites well into natural terrain, and is designed for comfortable walking.
These boots are actually very well-suited not only for trials but also for forest road touring.
Since they are based on trial boots, the soft sole allows the rider to easily feel the ground beneath their feet, which is a key feature.
Furthermore, the high degree of ankle flexibility enables delicate brake and shift operations.
These characteristics provide high controllability on technical forest roads, even on rough terrain and in tight turns.
This balance of "foot feel" and "operability" is precisely why they have been long favored by forest road touring users.

Position-Adjustable Buckle Structure
All three buckles can be moved to any desired position simply by adjusting screws, allowing them to fit the rider's foot.

By incorporating a special heat guard into the boot, the same heat resistance as conventional models is achieved while reducing weight. This protects the rider from machine heat.
