The Gaerne SG-10 Boots are constructed in our factory with the finest and most technically advanced materials with strength and durability for your protection. 2nd Runner-Up Boot in the famed Dirt Rider Boot Shootout review Excerpt: "This boot is hinged like the Sidi, but as with the Tech 8, it has a more traditional sole and toe area. The standout features of the SG:10 range from the great such as the snug and supportive ankle�to the small like the ease of getting into and out of it due to its wide opening and great buckles. The boot appears tough and kept very good support through many hours of testing."  The Gaerne SG-10 Boots were a very extensive project created to bring our customers an amazing boot. Over 12 months time, we have carefully thought out its conception with valuable input and feedback from our team of world wide experts. This new, sleek Italian design uses only the best components around starting with Italian full grain stock which is the best leather money can buy. The ""grip gaurd"" is designed for the rider to grip the bike and withstand any heat that is put to it. The superstrong wish bone ""pivot"" system surrounds the ankle while at the same time flows with your natural movement to ensure a great fit. The buckle system is made from aircraft aluminum to ensure easy on and off as well as adjustability.  The plastic exterior is injection molded and includes our new shock absorbing heel bumper. To add to this, the SG10 has a soft, comfortable, anatomic fit with the new indestructible P.U. memory all interior foam. Bio-foam upper/inner liner and a shock absorbing inner footbed liner adds to the pillow like interior feel. Add Gaerne's famous dual composite supercross sole and the boot is complete. SG10 - 10 times the boot!
