I only have about 20 hours on my SG-22's, but I fell in love with them the moment I tried them on. I have been using the SG-12's which I've always liked, but these felt broken in from moment one. I have a seriously large ankle from a previous injury and a large bunion on my right foot, and these don't bother them at all. If you're on the fence because of the price, ask yourself how much not breaking your foot/ankle is worth to you. Gaerne boots have the best protection out there, period!
Always like the fact that you're honest in your reviews Morgan. You really don't hold anything back. I like those boots but I perfer my Tech 7 dry star enduro boots.
Belgium, absolutely love the vids
Awesome!! Thanks
Thanks for your honest reviews the magazines seem to favor certain brands a little too much if you ask me, but what ever keep up the good work!
The Fox boots are the most comfortable boots I've tried and they didn't squeak when new, however they squeak now but super comfy. I have a wide foot.
Love your Videos from here in Australia ❤.
Keep up the good work. Would be nice to get to the US for a ride with you guys
Heck yeah
I prefer the Gaerne boot over the Sidi but the Sidi just fit my foot better. Getting crossfires on is way more of a pain. I'm always fiddling with something.
Great review! Thanks for the info.
Good review Morgan. Thanks.
Hands down they are the best boots. The price really isn’t horrible if you consider a pair of custom leather boots are $600.
What is the cost of an ankle/ foot surgery?
Are they worth it? Boots are as important as helmets, knee braces, protective gear. Boots are your connection to the bike. It probably helps your knee problem because it keeps you gripping the bike with ease.
🎶 These boots aren’t made for walkin’ 🎶 Avid watcher/follower here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I’m running Gaerne Fastback enduro boots. Love’m. Previously had SG1’s. Not a typo, SG1 boots. I got them used and I had them 12 years. I’ll never buy another brand of off-road boots.
Thanks for all your honest opinions and product reviews, and how to’s.
You bet
I’m sitting here in the south of Western Australia waiting on a delivery of my new SG22’s. The Postie didn’t bring them today as I was hoping. Maybe tomorrow before the weekend. Got a big couple of days of riding coming up over the weekend. Uuuugh!! It’s like waiting for Santa Claus!! 😁
New Brunswick, Canada here. I enjoy your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
Gret review Morgan. I have wide feet so i'll go for a pair of 22's. On thing that scares me is ripping the sole off. Most of us in Thailand have this issue with the rocky hard enduro we ride. part of the problem is we seem to get SG12's manufactured 4 or 5 years ago and suspect the sole glue has lost its grip. (just our guess).
Huh. That is odd but I get it.
Love the Shlogs!!
Lexington,Kentucky
We have the Appalachian mountains for riding.
Sg22 vs sg12. Very similar can go back and forth without noticing. Buckles seem to come undone more on the 22 but maybe haven't set them completely already. If you can get a good deal on the 12s probably would be my choice
Thanks for this great review, you made me think about buying them. I really love my tech 7’s but they have zero ankle support honestly. Big impacts do not feel good.
These are amazingly safe!
I have a pair of Gaerne SG12s and SG10s, both great boots, purchasing a pair of SG22s soon.
It’s funny my sg 10s seemed to narrow and they seemed to narrow in ankle so I had to size up . I tried sidi x3 enduro , and have more room in the toe box than the sg12. The protection on the x3 enduro is nothing like the sg12 but the fit and comfort is great and they keep my feet dry. Looking forward to trying some of these out.
I’m like you ,I wanted to try the Sidi boots myself but after reading several reviews I was just concerned that only a thin foot will fit in a Sidi foot . I was a Alpinestars ( and I was needing some new boots) and I actually sponsored by Ganrne boots and I also out that Ganrne are the only boots still made in Italy.🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
I like my alpinestars tech 7 dry stars there crazy comfortable but I’m sure those are awesome I’ve only ever heard good things about them
Got the SG 12’s from South Africa 🤪👍🏻🍻
Best Boots Ever
Yes! They are worth it if it fits and comfortable! It's garbage to me because it hurts my ankles! 😁 I am more comfortable in Sidi and Forma Predator 2. Oh yeah, Gaerne SG22 has the best buckles.
I totally agree!
Concerning your knee,Im 76 have a bad left knee and it may be the bike,Im riding a 23 Husky 300Tx,before a 21/20 and 19 Husky 300 ,and with new bike my knee doesnt give me as much trouble,but I also wear SG22 also?
Hawaii
Slick slick muddy valleys all day
SG-12 rider, only 4 years old. In 10 years when they wear out I'll get the SG-22 :)
4 years old? How many hours do you ride per year? I feel lucky to get 8 months out of a set of boots
😂 same as that. If you no you no.
@@hadleybennett68758 months? Stop buying Chinese Thors bro. Gaerne are known to last 3-4 seasons for pro level riders. A half decade for a literal everyday back country guy. And probably close to a decade for a casual rider.
@@jacobmcvay123 lmao I’m embarrassed for you. You clearly don’t ride much at all. I ride 3-4 times per week minimum in tech 10’s and go through about 4 sets per year. If your trail riding once a month like you are then yes, you could definitely get years of use out of your boots. Some of us actually ride.
Denver area. Trying to get out and ride with ya
They are pricey but very good boot 👍
Great Chanel, bud just fix the thumb 😂🏁
I haven’t seen a metal toe in a long time but I’ve also been out of the game for about 6 years
Texas
Good thing you said all that "hometown boy" stuff at the beginning..... I thought for sure you were about to pander for a Gaerne sponsorship 😂🤣 ....
I have wide feet(12EE, I can't even fit into AlpineStars Tech boots), I've tried 3 pairs of Gaerne's SG10, SG12 and Fastbacks, all of them kill me. Not only in the toes box but the heel area is almost worse. Strangely the MX boots that fit me are Sidi CrossFire TA's, I use size 47...
Did you ever try the sg22? I have wide feet to, sg10 was painfully narrow
@@jarrod1687 ... Don't think I could go for the $700+ cost when there's boots that work just as well and are hundreds less
Fair enough
I tried the G boot but was disappointed in the ankle articulation. Also way to hot on my feet. Other than that there great. I’m sticking with Sidi crossfires.
👍 from Portugal 🇵🇹
Some of my toes were just asking if we could get some new boots 😢😂
Zimbabwe 💪
🤘🏻🤘🏻
I have sg10s and the base model gx boots. 10s are better. Definitely consider 12s next time. Aussie Aussie Aussie 😊👍
Oi Oi Oi
Great video, SG 12 wearer myself. Maybe I missed it but what is the weight of these boots. 11-1/2's weigh 5 lbs each, are these even heavier?
I weighed them in the first video. I can’t remember. They don’t feel heavy
Does the SG-22 have more ankle room than the SG-12? I love my SG-10s. I've had multiple pairs over the past 15ish years. I bought a pair of SG-12 but they squeezed my ankle too much so I sold them.
The squeezing caused bruising and sore spots on the sides of my ankles. I tried to like them. I wanted to make the work, I wore them on multiple rides to break them in. I even tried stretching them out by stuffing a softball in the the offending area to stretch it during storage but it didn't help.
Yes they do
@@highlandcycles thank you. That's great news.
Not sure about fixing knee problems - is there some geometry difference?
Has to be. I don’t understand it at all. All I know is that since I switched to these it feels better. 🤷🏼♂️
@@highlandcycles love your videos. Keep up the good work!
My new tech 10s are falling apart after half a year of weekend riding, they are just not the same as the older ones, too much plastic
I bought sg10s but stopping riding about 6-7 years ago.. got riding the other day, the soles are dry rotted even tho the boots look new. The sole falls apart from every kick start
MX boot repair can make them like new
Tryin to decide on SG22s or AlpineStars Tech 7 enduro drystar. Can’t decide so just been sitting here w a shitty old pair of thors.
Tough choice. I absolutely love my SG22's
How is the sizing compared to the 12's?
Same
There is a govscam around glue. It has to be eco friendly. Thus it sucks. I really want sg22 too!
I used some non PC stuff. Should hold
@@highlandcycles right, but what I'm saying is some manf in EU can't use good glues....cuz of govscams :(
@@foxymcrider1173 I hear ya. So dumb
South Africa 🤟🤟🤟
Rad!!
Why dont they make the s22 with any KTM orange tho?
Good question
They do have them in orange but it seemed like a lighter orange compared to the ktm orange color
What state are you located in?
Colorado
🇨🇦
We need a UA-cam Subscriber discount! Ha!
I actually checked and Rocky Mountain has them for under 700
Waterproof socks are cheap and will keep your feet perfectly dry in any boot.
Do you know if they make a womens version or know any women who wear them? Womens calves (my calves) do not tend to fit in most men's boots.
I don’t know. I do know that the calf buckles are super adjustable
OHIOOOOO
