Gaerne 2262-025-8 Motocross Boot Size Boots - SG22 8

The Gaerne SG22 is Gaerne's flagship motocross and off-road boot, handcrafted in Italy and engineered to deliver championship-level protection, comfort, and performance. Built on more than 60 years of footwear craftsmanship, the SG22 represents a significant evolution over its predecessor, the SG-12, with refinements to every major system on the boot.

At the heart of the SG22's protection is the Dual Stage Pivot System 1.0, which uses two mechanical limit switches to restrict hyperextension, hyperflexion, and lateral ankle movements. The pivot geometry has been redesigned to more closely mimic natural ankle movement, improving ergonomics without compromising safety. Internally, Memory Foam 1.0 molds to the shape of the ankle, stabilizing the foot and creating a custom, locked-in feel.

The 3D Main Body Toe Box features a three-dimensional construction that reduces the height between the sole and the gear lever, resulting in faster, more precise shifting. The inner leg panel incorporates Grip Guard 1.0 rubber elements — developed with professional riders — for enhanced heat protection and improved grip against the frame and shrouds.

The SG22 is built using Goodyear Welted artisanal construction, a technique Gaerne has employed since 1962, producing a boot that is exceptionally durable and uniquely resole-able, extending the life of the boot well beyond typical MX footwear. The multi-density sole features strategically placed dual-density inserts for grip, traction, and cushioning, while the Microshock heel uses a variable-density compound to absorb micro-impacts during cornering. A Steel Bumper 1.0 toe insert sits between the sole and upper, maintaining toe protection while reducing overall weight.

Ventilation is handled by dual air vents near the frontal plate and internal 3D channels that promote airflow, humidity evacuation, and heat dissipation. The adjustable aluminum Superlight Buckles allow a precise, tailored fit, and the frontal shin guard offers two positioning options for added versatility.
