Gaerne SG-22 first ride review

[@kicekap]

I use SG10 for 6 years, they are still in good shape all buckles works as new. But I want to try something new and looking for SG12 (which are more for pro riders and track oriented) and SG22 (they look more for everyday ride). Thanks for review.

I also have wide feet 13 6E. Contemplating a size 13 or 14. Have they loosened up on you as the 14 now too big for you Really having a hard time to decide on the right size. I’ve run a SG 12 for 400 hours. I had a local ski shop heat them up and widen them and they fit perfect now. Thinking if I get the 13, I can do the same thing. I just don’t want the 14s to be too big. Thanks for the feedback and review.

@@cep8214 I haven’t worn them enough to feel any loosening up. I have only worn them for a couple races, where protection was very important. The width of the 14’s will be perfect since you are a 6E. I am only a 3E and the width feels perfect. The length is just a touch long. If I didn’t like the bit of extra length I’d probably insert a bit of memory foam at the heel or in the toes to compensate but never felt the need. The 13 in SG10 was so restrictive that it was painful. My little toe was crunched. If you can easily get a refund for purchasing the wrong size, then it would be worth risking buying 13’s.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I’m going to go with the 14s as you know having foot pain while you’re riding takes all the joy out of it. I can always snug them up with the straps and like you said, put some memory foam in if I need to. I’ve never really looked at the difference between a size 13 and 14 but it’s really minuscule. A size 13 shoe is 11.5625 inches long, while a size 14 shoe is 11.875 inches long. Thanks for the feedback. You’ve been very helpful. Have a great day.

What does the wet ground have to do with these boots?

[@powerturbine6170]

@aces928 nothing performance wise. Just kept wearing my Alpinestar 7 Drystar during the wet to keep my feet dry, and for trail work.

[@cornoil]

Nice honest review -thanks for that!

[@jacobmcvay123]

They just came out with SG22 gortex enduro versions. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS! Waterproof with the SG22 technology.

[@powerturbine6170]

@jacobmcvay123 very nice

[@ModularMuscle]

I would think the goretex would just mean your feet get even more hot and sweaty, most of the time (unless you're always in cold, wet weather)

[@jarrod1687]

Did you say kunt hair lol. Nice review, I'm after a pair but have a wide foot, no where local to try before I buy. Might just get the next size up like you suggest to be safe. Cheers

[@whsl824]

What size were your Tech 7’s? Trying to figure out how the fitment is compared to the Gaerne’s

[@powerturbine6170]

@whsl824 alpinestars size 13 is good, sg10 in 13 way to tight, bumped up to size 14 in SG22

[@AShearer76]

Thanks for the review. I just placed an order.

[@vaughanscott7308]

Fair play bro I bought vented alpinestar tech 10 and their vents are rubbish as well just a gimmick.

[@jhaazkahn9852]

Hi, are they waterproof?

[@powerturbine6170]

@@jhaazkahn9852 nope

[@RGB872]

There is now a Gore-tex version.
