Thanks for the feedback.
Have heard of and seen the Gaerne boots online.
But never known anyone in my area with any.
Their reviews echo what you said.
I'm not going to race , but will be on tracks on their open track days.
Just like hitting jumps and landing them.
No tricks or fancy moves.
Need good strong footbeds that can take impacts and not get chewed up by the footpegs.
Some friends tried to give me crap about the Fox boots when I bought them.
But they landed the big hits and I never had sore feet or ankles.
I only got to wear the Alpinestars a few times before I moved and quit riding.
At 61 I'm going to gear up heavier than I did at 40.
It was just boots and gloves back then.
Bought some new age knee and elbow guards CE2 level.
CE2 level Chest and Back protector, I mainly got it for the shoulder guard design.
