Gaerne Fastback Enduro Boots

They do seem like a good boot, overall I like them but have 4 issues. Main and biggest is the strap length, the straps in all positions are just way too short. Next I ordered a 14/49 and they are still pretty narrow. Third issue is they should mention treating the leather on the boot before first use or just do it from factory. A lot of wear where where the straps rub the leather, and they are not very water resistant. Lastly, I bought these because I thought that they would be a good balance of control, feel and protection. They are pretty much like every other boot where you cannot really feel the controls much at all. I am not a fan of the plastic molding in a toe box.

This all being said I do like the boot. I am hoping that they last if few seasons. I can't say I feel they offer a ton more protection or substantial gain over something like an O'Neill Ryder boot. But for three times the cost. I'm hoping I get three times to use, as the cheaper boots tend to only last a season or two.

Excellent fit. Wide toe box, quality build and materials.
Excellent customer service (best in business). Will buy from here again.

Great boots, comfortable right out of the box. Only thing I did strip out one side of one of the backing plates for the adjustable straps.

Great support for choosing boots. Very satisfied

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!
