Gaerne Balance Pro-Tech Boots

My son Josh loves these boots while ripping around on his KTM 450 very well made and not bulky certainly will be getting a pair for myself.

Fast delivery and the boots feel great on trials bike so far.

I loved these boots except..... 😟 For the gum sole. It looks weird and was pretty low profile (a thicker sole lets me flat foot on my WeeStrom). Plus it seemed slick on my dry concrete sidewalk & drive though think that will improve wear. Considered getting them resoled but between other factors below plus cost the Formas made more sense. I also worried the leather would wear poorly under the shifter as there is no pad. I also thought these would breathe well but because there is some foam lining the breathability of the leather is compromised. The Formas breathe better. Finally I think the Forma buckles are sturdier. Stacy at Atomic-Moto made sure my return & refund was painless & prompt. Definitely like Bomber personal customer service!!!!

The most comfortable boot I have ever owned. I wear them in the desert on my xr400 and on the road on the V-strom. I'm a bit more conservative these days & they fit the bill nicely for my style of riding. If your jumping buses or dragging a foot at mach 2 you might want something a little more stout. Everywhere I go guys ask me what boot that is and how I like it. You will not be disappointed !

I have really wide feet. About the only shoes that are truely comfortable for me are Berkenstocks and Doc. Martens. I picked this boot because a few adv rider boards recommended this boot for a wide foot. First ride was 120 miles in the desert and they were excellent. No pinching or aching which I normally have.
