Love the boots so far. Comfy out of the box and great feel in the soles.
I worked with Brian and he recommended a couple boots for my requirements and the SG22 was purchased at the size he mentioned. It feels so good and my first 2hr ride was excellent and the boots were very comfortable and good feel. I will put a different insert from a hiking shoe in the boots and then they will be perfect.
Great padding around the ankle. I have a wide foot and these fit great.
I gave Atomic Moto a call to get their feedback on potential boot options. After a long chat with Brian, I settled on the Gaerne and couldn’t be happier. It’s a big step up from my A-stars adventure boot. Took a couple rides to get used to the boot but it feels great now!
Very comfortable right out of the box, size 49 is perfect for a size 13EEE.
Brian was great to work with and help me find the right boots that would fit properly!
Brian was spot-on for the sizing. Had a great chat about boots, riding style etc.... Boots fit perfect, have worn these boots for 2 days and breakin was minimal.
I highly recommend these boots if you're on the fence about them.
I upgraded from my old size 11 SG-10s which were in pretty good shape but the plastic buckle straps were starting to break off from age. The SG-12s are very rugged, high quality, quite comfortable, and look great. They feel slightly longer than the SG-10s so thicker-than-street-shoe socks are needed. My street shoe width is "C" so, like all the dirt bike boots I've worn for over 55 years, these are a bit wide but not enough to be annoying. Heavy cold weather socks feel snug. As they break in more and buckles are readjusted I think they'll be fine. Size 10.5 would probably be too snug especially with heavy socks. I would buy these again.
I ordered these boots and once I received them I had some fitment questions. I called and talked to Brian the owner. He spent a lot of time on the phone answering my questions and offering possible solutions. Ultimately, I decided to keep the boots. The whole experience was great and I ended up with a great pair of boots that fit well and comfortable right out of the box!
I have not used them outdoors yet
