Alpinstar Tech 5 are Super comfortable, true to size. Great protection for the kind of riding I do (mild offroad) Brian is the Man when it comes to gear, he knows the right questions to ask and advises on what will work for you. Thanks for all your help Brian !
Atomic Moto was right on target. These are very nice boots. They have much more protection that my previous mx style boots and because of that I was worried that they were going to be too stiff. I just wore them around the house for a couple hours and was good to go. In fact I was able to shift better with these than my old broken in (and broken down) boots. Lots of internal padding also made the Tech 5s comfortable for all day riding. Spot on Atomic Moto!!!
Best boot I've ever worn. Love the ankle and overall support. I've owned most of the other brands and continue to come back to the SG12. I ride fast desert, and track so I prefer a stiffer more supportive boot. If I were riding slow trails all the time I might go with a less supportive/more flexible boot. I personally use this boot for everything and love it.
These feel like real protection. My Vendramini Lusakas fit like the proverbial glove, but can't hold a candle to these for sheer confidence. Very nice boots. Gaerne and Atomic for the win!
I originally ordered a different boot, when they went to pull the order they found they didn't have the boot I wanted. Im not sure of the gentleman who called me the next day to apologize, He talked me into the Gaerne Daker Aquatech's and im so glad he did, PERFECT !! This is exactly what I was looking for. so..THANK YOU !!!!! for going the extra mile for me.
These boots felt comfortable right out of the gate-no break-in required!
The SG-22s are expensive boots but worth the stretch if you can make it. Comfortable right out of the box just like everyone says. I went with Atomic Motos suggestion to focus on the EU size numbers rather than the US, and it turns out all my 10.5 US sneakers were labelled 44.5 EU. That is what I ordered, and it fits perfectly. I think the Gaerne size chart has a different mapping for 10.5 US, but I ignored that went directly to the EU sizing
