Created with an extensive list of premium features, the Gaerne Dakar is perfect for Adventure Riders. Dakar Boots start with a TRUE fully pivoting mechanical hinge at the ankle. This hinge, pulled from the Gaerne Fastback off road boots, is made from plastic and wraps around the rear Achilles area, connecting both sides. This full sized wrap around hinge gives unparalleled support and flex. It also features a pivot at the second strap for comfort when flexing. A large plastic heel counter attached to the hinge adds protection and support.

The boots are fully waterproof using a Gore-Tex waterproof liner, the finest quality available. The exterior of the boot is Gaerne's awesome oil tanned leather, which gives amazing comfort and feel. The sole is a wide, fully lugged Gaerne design, that is east to walk in and is attached via welt stitching. Extensive internal padding makes the boots plush and supportive. Dakars have that wide, comfortable fit that Gaernes are known for, along with a slim toebox that is easy to get under your shifter. Two buckles plus Velcro mean these can be worn under pants or opened up to use with knee guards.

We can go on and on about these boots, but the bottom line is this: the Gaerne Dakar is the new king of the category. Totally BOMBER Recommended.

Excellent boots and helpful guidance.

Excellent boots and great help from Brian!

Wore them indoors for a couple hours before I knew they'd fit. The forefoot needed to stretch a little. Viola, comfy boots.

Than you,
Bruce

Fit was true to size

Fit was true to size. Very comfortable so far. Havenot hit any water yet so not sure how waterproof they are. Very happy with the purchase so far. Would recommend them.

Great boots for road/lite off-road riding.

Glad I purchased these boots! I was considering Forma Adventure boots but I was concerned about the tall sole for my intended use. I won’t be hiking in the Dakar boot but it’s certainly comfortable enough for short walking. Worth considering if you don’t require a riding boot more aimed at hiking.

Fit, Form & Function: A+

The fit was right on. Some 10.5s are a bit snug but these 45s, for me, seem between a 10.5 and an 11. The form is what I was looking for; a slim sole and toe along with ankle protection that doesn't restrict a little flex. 4 and a half stars on the functions of riding and walking and
staying dry. Easy to adjust to shifting and braking feel, good support standing on pegs, no hint of a leak when submerged, only a knock on the left boot sole not being perpendicular to the upper. Kinda throws off my gait and stresses my knee a bit. Your mileage may vary.
