Gaerne SG-12 Boots Item # 668042

Description
Gaerne SG-12 is one of the most durable, comfortable and supportive off-road boots made to date.
Features:
- Dual-stage pivot system: This revolutionary new system is patented and exclusive to Gaerne. The first pivot is attached to the Razorback. This provides a rigid component that offers a strong lateral support while a glide-plate keeps the upper part in a firm and upright position. The second pivot is fixed on a sliding glide that allows the riders foot to feel natural while on the peg in a shifting or breaking situation. It will bottom out and absorb shock in the case of over-jumping or unwanted compression.
- Grip guard: Feel the exceptional grip of the bike as well as a heat resistant padding against your inner leg.
- Front plate/shin guard: Thermoplastic shin plate is anatomically shaped for a perfect fit. By removing three screws a rider can also make the opening wider to accommodate a bigger leg or knee-brace.
- Buckle system: Four lightweight alloy buckles that attach to an adjustable strap.
- Gaiter: With its Swiss breathable fabric, Acronos, the gaiter is extremely stretchy but has the perfect shape to keep the sand and debris out.
- Interior lining: Gaerne memory cell foam
- Heel cup: The new heel cup has been designed to absorb shock in the case of a rear compression.
- Toe-Box: This new design features a slimmer shape in the toe area for an improved feel of the shift lever and the bikes controls. The entire area is wrapped by a new plastic material which is lighter and provides more comfort and feel for the bike as well.
- Toe cap: Redesigned and reinforced to provide a new tougher look.
- Sole: Made of Gaerne dual composite anti-shock rubber that has made Gaerne soles famous around the world.
- Insole: Specially molded footbed to correctly support the foot. In the rear portion of the footbed, a new shock absorbing material has been used. And in the front portion the construction has been made to allow the foot to vent.

Good boot
Have now used for 30 hours riding. Left foot is kinked somehow and is not comfortable. Boots are great quality and easy to walk in. Totally recommend but try them in the house for an hour if they rub send them back they won't loosen up after wear

Excellent protection
Bought these after injury in old boots and on recommendations from reviewers that these were the best for protection available. It's true. Very stiff initially, took 4-5 rides to break in. Missed shifts and the rear break many times, but once you get them worked in I would never go back to anything else. Excellent comfort. Expensive, but highly recommended.

Solid protection, good feel, needs some break in.
Bought 2 months ago. Really stiff at the start but have broken in nicely. If someone says these boots have a narrow toe box they must have HUGE feet because these have ample room. I'm a size 11.5 and there is plenty room in there. Not too much where it is unusable. You can tell these boots were built for protection and longevity. Comfort wise they are a good boot as well. I would hands down buy themagain.

Best boot available
I've owned and used Alpinestar tech3 , Forma predators, Sidi Crossfire 2 and now these Gaerne SG-12 and I can say with confidence these are the best boots I have ever used. They are comfortable right out of the box and the protection they offer is top level. I'm cheap but what are your ankles worth plus if you catch these on sale (I did) they cannot be beat.

Once you switch to Gaerne, you don't go back.
This is my second pair of SG12's. My first pair I wore for 4+ years (they are still good, just a little tired after hundreds of hours of use). The best boot I have ever put my feet into. Solid, safe, and the hand-made quality is apparent. Before using Gaerne I used Alpinestars Tech 10, never again.... The quality isn't comparable. Go with the Gaerne, you will thank me later.

Amazing boots
I upgraded to a pair of SG-12s from the Thors Blitz XP.
My Thors got destroyed after 2 seasons of weekly rides.
The SG-12 are going on their 3 season and aside from the lack of cleanliness, they look and perform as they did on day one. At that rate, I can see them lasting 10+ years easily.
One trick that helped them last so far is that I religiously put a boot dryer in them after every ride. Keeps the moisture (and smells) away, which is the #1 killer of boots.
I anticipate having to replace the sole in a few years, but so far after 2 years they are in near-perfect shape.
