Gaerne SG-22 Boots

Brian helped me pick out these boots based on a conversation about my riding goals, desired protection level, and the shape of my foot. His expertise about fit was spot on - these boots fit me great, and I have hard-to-fit feet, so this is a rare occurrence for me. On top of multiple phone conversations, Brian also added express shipping for free so that I could get an epic ride in with a friend. Will be buying all my boots from Brian in the future!

Replaced my tech 10s with the Sg22s. By far the best boot I’ve had right out of the box and the option for half sizes is nice. Atomic moto was a great company to deal with and I will be making my next purchase with them.

This is my first pair of motocross boots so this review is strictly regarding fit. I typically wear 8 1/2 wide shoes/boots. I’d say my left foot is E and my right foot is EEE. I have a pair of TCX street boots size 42 and a pair of Forma Adventure boots size 42, both fit fine. I first tried Alpine Stars Tech 7 size 9, not wide enough, actually hurt my right foot at the joint at the base of my pinky toe (no bunion). Next tried Gaerne SG-12 size 9, wide enough but had a pressure point just above my ankle on the inside of right leg. Didn’t want to take a chance on that breaking in so returned them. Then tried Leatt 4.5 Enduro size 9, wider than the Tech 7’s but not wide enough. These were all purchased and returned from another company. I then called Atomic Moto and spoke with Brian. He recommended three boots. I tried the Forma Predator 2.0 Enduro size 43/9, still too tight on right foot. Returned those for the Gaerne SG-22 size 9 and they fit perfect no pressure point. Brian really knows his boots, highly recommend calling him first if you are undecided or need help.

I normally wear a 10.5 M shoe and the 10 boots fit me fine. Shipping was fast. I am pleased.

You get what you pay for. We ended up in muddy and wet conditions. I actually put my foot down in about 3 foot of water, and my foot stayed dry. I did have an over the boot pants, and it was only for a second, but my thigh was damp, and my feet were dry. They are comfortable on and off the bike, and I never slipped even when we pulled my buddies bike out of the mud. Didn't have any get offs to test that aspect, but I did kick some rocks and roots. Also broke branches with my shins. I am 100% happy with these.
