I took delivery of these boots today. The craftsmanship is top notch. Very glad I spent the extra dough to get some boots with ankle pivot. Just went for a spin off road on my Transalp. Tripped over at one point from a stand still and the bike landed on my ankle. 200kg and I felt nothing. Paid for themselves there and then!

I bought these today after a five week search for boots and watching hundreds of these reviews. Only 45 minutes in them thus far so can’t say much. But I can say that they fit like a glove, ankle and calf, and are hot 🥵 on the leg as a result. They will be great cooler weather boots but it’s the middle of summer here in Australia, heat aplenty boys and girls. Super happy with them however. UPDATE: it’s over a year since I have had them. Closer to two than one. I did wear other boots for short rides during the summer but not because they were hot when riding, short rides typically meant going to the supermarket or other similar tasks. Clomping around in them off bike in the summer was not fun. On the bike however it really wasn’t a problem and I still prefer them over anything else, even during the summer. The biggest surprise has been their warmth. I haven’t tested them in truly cold weather, I’m not riding in that. But down to freezing point, 0 Celsius, they are great. Their robustness engenders confidence and on several occasions random items have smashed into them, zero consequences for me. Of course a truly significant impact, the bike landing on them during a significant and very undesirable event, is going to hurt. Otherwise they for me represent the best compromise between safety and comfort I can imagine.

The only thing that worries me about this brand is the sole. Because part of it in the case of this boot is the flat part of the sole and the rest it’s “enduro”.. Do they have traction when you’re off the bike? Because if you’re in trouble and you have to push the bike for example in a place full of mud it’s going to be a problem if you don’t have enough traction you know? Does anyone have come across this situation? Are these really good in those conditions? What do you guys think? And another question, what do you guys think about the Gaerne Dakar goretex and the Sidi X Power Enduro?? Do you have a review of those?

Although they don't squeeze my toes, the truth is that they fit almost tight, and for the rest of the foot The thing is that they squeeze me everywhere, especially on the sides of my foot and ankle. They run small and should I choose a larger size or wait a few days for them to fit?

That's tough because they are pretty different in how they fit and feel. The 5.5 is a stiffer boot with more hard plastic all over and has great ankle support. The Fastback is a more "traditional" boot with the stitched on sole that is very durable, but doesn't have as much feel on the pegs. The Fastback is also very comfortable, has better buckles, and in terms of durability, Gaerne is hard to beat compared to any boot. If I was just riding off-road and motocross, I would get the 5.5. But if I was also doing some ADV riding, I would probably get the Fastback. - Chase
