Recommendation for anyone new to boots, get a boot dryer! Keeps all the nasty stuff from festering in your sweaty boot, will allow them to last longer and will have them dry for the next ride!

Good boots saved me a trip to the hospital yesterday, got to close to a little cotton mouth and he gave my boots a little kiss. We both went on our way unharmed.

Years ago I had my A Star Tech 8’s resoled and the company used Gaerne soles. Great quality. Currently have some SG12 LE’s still in the box from 2019. Bought for under $500. Should be great boots 👍

Just got some Alpinestar Tech 7's, been crazy comfortable so far. Pretty intrigued to try these boots too. Especially since they have the adjustability for bigger calves. Your two boot theory might have me sold. Lol. Thanks Kyle 👊🏼

If you wear knee braces or large calves these boots are for you. I wear CTI knee braces and these are a game changer for me.

I have about 7 hours on my SG-22's and absolutely love them. They felt better out of the box, than my SG-12's do broken in. Highly recommend them!

I just bought them few days ago, and I’m loving them, they just feel incredible!!!

My only complaint about a lot of these boots is the lack of any kind of pattern on the sole for traction. I get it, their meant for MX. But they just don't make trail boots that offer this much protection for trail use. And, dang, if you've ever dumped your bike in the mud on any kind of slope and had to try and get any kind of traction with these boots......you invent new 4 letter words.

Loving the look of these boots.

I went from gaerne to alpine stars to sidi for me sidis can’t be beat for my wide feet

Lol. Dude. I totally wear ankle socks all the time in my boots. Sometimes I wear long socks, funny that you mentioned it. I’m not good enough to ride in anything better than Tech7s.

I have the sg12 and love them. I had Sidi before and didn't like the t straps and they had issues closing and staying closed. SG12 have zero issues including more cozy than Sidi

I just got a set of these and wow, they are so sooo good. Highly recommend

I just went to Tec 3 boots , from sidi srs crossfire 3. After wearing them in they are much better! and less than half the price. They are harder to get my toe under to shift gears, but i changed the shifter up one notch and its fine . Heaps better grip in wet hills and more comphy

I taken off the toe tips for the very same reason very good boot 👍

If you keep the steel caps on, you wont wear out the toe like your SG12s.

Had to look up my cost, glad I have a shop and can sell stuff like this now for $650.

Love the gear reviews! I’m a sucker this type of video wether or not you like the product or if I intend to buy it. Just curious what’s out there.

I've heard those are nice boots but I'm totally sold on my Leatt 5.5's . Especially with the enduro sole and GTX material making them waterproof... I always seem to be playing in the water when i ride 😂

My Leatt 4.5 are nice comfy and cheap

Gaerne enduro boots felt great on my feet I loved the fit and finish but I couldn’t feel the shifter or brake. Went to the alpenstar 7 drystar. The tow box is smaller so I run a thinner sock and that makes them comfortable. I can actually feel the brake and shifter now. I wander to love my Gaerne but was disappointed. I’m a 10.5 as well I went 11 in both. I prob could have and should have gone 10 in the Gaerne. I make custom orthotics and have them in both. The alpenstars also grip the bike better. Support and protection is basically the same

What is the sizing like compared to Alpinestars? Didn’t really get what you were saying at the beginning on the video?

Solid review. Love my SG 12's and wish I never saw this$$$$$!

Nice review Kyle, I just bought some leatt 3.5 (through your link of course) from RMATV. Only 2 rides on them and the left boot diggs into my outer ankle bone, any idea what I can do? Sorry the gaernes are just a little too expensive for me, but you could donate your old one's to me😊.

Sidis are my top pick

I'm in the market for new boots now. I think I have it narrowed down to either the new fox como series or the gaerne fastback Enduro . I just need to find a place with them.borh in stock to try on.

You should do a budget boot shootout to see how good or bad cheaper boots are in comparison to high end. Not everyone can spend 600 bucks on some boots, but I get that you dont wanna skimp either

I got a pair of alpinestars tec 3,s I regret not getting a better boot from the start

Forma's are the best boots I have ever used. Made in Europe, best tread for hikng/pushing/trail cutting, very durrable, and good price.

The SG-22's make the SG-12's feel like concrete space boots. They are much lighter. The toe box is alot more roomier. It is much easier to shift and you have alot more feel on the pegs. They feel like they are broken in out of the box yet they are still very stiff and they hug your ankle. Hands down.... they best boots on the market today.

Kyle! You need some seal skin socks. They keep the water out and the sweat in so it doesn't get on your boots.

The biggest problem of Sg12 for me is memory foam. It can absorb up to 300g of water and you need days(!) to dry it even with a heat blower. If you live in humid climate, don't even expect it to dry it out naturally between weekends. As I understood sg22 use same foam.

From my scale the new sg22 boots are 1/2 lbs lighter than the sg12.

Good stuff Kyle

I had a pair of SG10's and I kept catching the plastic hinge on my side number plate. Don't know how I did it but it would scare the shit out of me.

Gaerne are good if you have wide feet

My finger has been hovering over the buy button for SG-12s for a few weeks now as my boots are getting worn out. However I've heard some grumbling about their customer service and I don't want to get screwed by another company like Alpinestars did to me. Have you ever dealt with Gaerne customer support?

I still have my SG10's from 2008 and theyre literally good to go lmao. That said im stockin up to get back out there in the +30, and im lookin at the SG22

Sorry for the ignorance but I’m brand new to motocross boots and I’m not sure how the SG22s should fit. I wear a size 11 USA in nearly every tennis shoe, but 10.5 in work boots. Do you think I’d be better off with the 11s? And as far as fitting with motocross boots do you follow the general rule of “thumb” as the space between your toes and the end of the boot? Or do you want that space smaller

Kyle I wonder if you have discovered any moto socks that fit extra large legs? I bought msr and 100% socks and they are super skinny and just don't fit my legs.

Can you review the mako 360 I have really slowed down on riding because the vibrations of my 2022 beta 200 and it’s so expensive I would hate to spend the money if it don’t make it better

Pretty disappointing that they are still so heavy. I was really hoping they would fix the weight. Gearne boots are the best boots though

Do you have a rough guess on how many hours you ride per boot before you replace them?

Can anyone help? I got some sg22s and after riding in them a few times they are still just very stiff and I have a hard time shifting in them. I can barely even flex the boot with just the power of my own foot, so if I’m standing up I cannot point my toe down to get under the shifter. I have to put my knee pretty far forward just to get under the shifter. And yes, I have tried raising the shifter.

I tried a set of SG12 and there was a really bad hot spot in the back of my leg so I went with Alpinestars. Maybe I will try the SG22s and see if they are better. My feet are drenched when I get done and it would be nice to have a second set to let the first one dry out.

Nice. For me, the toe box on the 12's was too tall.

I heard the sg12 are more flexiable then the sg 22s is that correct?

I have Astars,Garnae and Leatt boots. The Leatt 5.5 enduro prptects like a Garnae but wears like an Astar. You should try em

Review of Klx 300r???

Nice looking boots. The SG12 took a long time to break in and the feel for the shift lever and rear brake is not that good. Still a great boot. Hope the sg22 has improved on that.

Weighing one of the boots would have been fine ;)

My gearny boots were made for a woman the toe is so narrow ill have to lose 3 toes for it to fit the insole came out and shrivelled up after 3 rides shin pad area with the g on both fell off after 3 months they were my dream boots but turned out to be the worst i ever had

I know you're an affiliate with Rocky Mountain but you know you don't have to pay $670 for sg22 boots , that's ridiculous.

Have you tried the Forma Predator 2.0?

Do these run TTS? Thanks!

Tech 10s have heaps more protection and support aswell as comfort from inner boot. I got foot and ankle run over by toyota landcruiser on limestone surface and only could feel abit. No damage. Other boots your foot and ankle and probably leg would be crushed

This is an OVERview, not a REview, sir. REview implies long-term usage. Looking forward to your REview

Im hella getn me a piar

How long did you have the previous boots.

Why no tread? Good luck getting your bike out of mud with those on.

Nah Alpine stars tech 10 better just cause Mr Jarvis wears them don’t mean you’ll live up to the potential

just too heavy again for someone with bad knees.

Disappointed to hear they don’t weigh less than the lead filled SG12s.

$700 dollar boots over $10,000+ hospital bill.

Ah some cowboy boots a helmet and some jeans will do the trick you guys try to turn it Into a sport and you need expensive this and that just ride enjoy the views and life you don't have to constantly be pushing things to the limit lol to where you'd need all this crazy gear because you're doing dumb stuff

I got Gaerne Fastback - Love them. I would like to get the SG22, I saw them come into stores here in Asia back in Feb. But I can't afford them realistically. My Fastback seemed perfect right out of the box, no break in required. They are not nearly as hot and stuffy as my old cheap Oneals. I highly rate Gaerne as a brand.

I’m wearing the Gaerne Fastbacks, awesome boots. Only complaint is they’re loose on the calf, made for riders with bigger calf’s. Other than that solid boot, very comfy and great support
