Gaerne G Dakar Gore-tex Boots Black

Finally an alternative to the A* Toucan and Sidi Adventure from the all Italian and all leather Gaerne! True ankle hinge that looks like the Fastback's, and the same enduro sole as the Fastback Enduro. Lighter weight (about 3lbs, 7oz in size 48) then a big MX boot, super comfortable on the bike immediately.

Was looking for the sweet spot between protection (ie MX boots) and something to walk around in. These boots with their articulated joint are what I was after. Much more protection than a typical road boot but something that would let me get off the bike and walk into the town or up the hill to the viewing platform. etc. I use them for long distance adventure touring.

Overall the quality, fit and comfort are outstanding. They are definitely not an MX boot, but I would say that give 85+% of the protection of an MX boot with much greater comfort. I found the latches to be very robust and even with larger calves there was plenty of room. This was a big winner!

Had some Gaerne Balance Oiled which i really liked; needed a bit more ankle protection so thought I'd try these. They look like they will do the job. My friend ordered some and we wear the same size 46, and I tried his on wow what a fit and support. They look to be a great quality build, true to size for me and very comfortable. I’ve had my Gaerne Balance for a couples years now but I was concerned about the lack of ankle support. Where my friend bought these they were sold out but, I was able to find them at Motostorm, so happy! Plus they were on sale, even better!

Really happy with these boots overall. They offer a ton of protection for an adventure style boot, have kept my feet dry, and don't look too out of place when walking around town off the bike either.

I bought these because I have the Gaerne road bicycling shoes which fit like they were made for my feet and they are tough. These motorcycle boots fit perfectly and look great. Typical Italian quality manufacturing.

I wear size 10 1/2 us and bought the 45 without ever trying this brand. They fit perfect, very comfortable with no break in. Let my brother try them on and he was amazed how good they felt. Nice boot, I would buy them again. They feel good on the bike and are smooth on the controls.

They are definitely outstanding boots. . I found the latches to be very robust and even with larger calves there was plenty of room. This was a big winner! Nice boots from a peputable company that is known for their quality products. good protection and comfortable. can recommend this boot for adv travel. This is highly recommended. True to its size and comfort.

I did a LOT of research to get to this boot. I wanted: waterproof, some comfort, ankle protection, price under $400, In the end the best options are this one and the Sidi Adv 2. I like the design on this one better and the lower price, however, the Sidi's waterproof goes higher.

The boots has a wrong strap design, the clip is flimsy and digging inside the side of the boot due to very narrow base support. Result is a non properly engaging claps/strap locking. Worse, by simply shifting gear, the bending pressure on the boots can simply open the lower strap lock! Unbelievable faulty design for such a brand! I have sent videos of the “self-opening strap” to Gaerne (waiting for resolution) The boots are unusable because it can simply unclip the strap by itself and fall on the road. One more thing, the screw MUST BE LOCKTITE if not the base can easily get loose and fall. I previously had a pair of Gaerne All Terrain (thx version of the trial beige boots) the quality of the latches was better.
