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 and allow you to feel the machine's movements to the fullest. The high degree of ankle freedom makes them suitable for precise bike control, and you can easily feel the brake's operation.
The sole offers excellent grip, providing good traction on natural terrain, and comfort for walking is also considered.
In fact, these boots are highly suitable not only for trials but also for forest road touring.
Because they are based on trial boots, the soles are soft, and the sensation of the ground is easily transmitted to the soles of your feet.
Furthermore, the high degree of ankle freedom allows for delicate brake and shift operations.
These characteristics provide high controllability on technical forest roads, such as rocky terrain and tight turns.
This balance of "underfoot feel" and "operability" is why they have been consistently supported by forest road touring users for so long.
