GAERNE FASTBACK Midnight boots

The Gaerne Fastback Endurance is the brand's best-selling motocross boot, and for a simple reason — it lands exactly where most riders make their decision: enough protection for hard riding at a price a class below the flagship ranges. The WrapAround ankle joint wraps around the ankle from both sides and supports the foot on landings and in ruts, while not restricting normal movement on the footpegs. The construction is built for long hours in the saddle, not for a single race. I recommend it to riders who train regularly but don't need the racing top end — and also as a first "proper" boot after cheap beginner ones, where the difference in protection is felt immediately. Made in Italy.
