The Gaerne G.Dakar Gore-Tex Adventure Touring Boot is built for riders who refuse to let weather or terrain dictate their route. Proudly Made in Italy, this CE-certified motorcycle boot (EN 13634:2017) delivers a premium blend of protection, waterproofing, and all-day wearability whether you're on the tarmac, a gravel road, or a muddy trail.
At the heart of the G.Dakar is Gaerne's signature wrap-around ankle pivot system — a fully mechanical hinge derived from the Gaerne Fastback off-road boot. This system wraps around the rear Achilles area and connects both sides, delivering robust lateral support and controlled flex without sacrificing rider feel. A plastic heel counter integrated into the hinge adds an additional layer of rear compression protection.
The upper is crafted from nubuck leather with front and rear microfiber inserts for enhanced flexibility. On the inner side, heat-resistant suede leather provides exceptional grip on the frame and peg. A PU-injected front shin plate is anatomically shaped to provide robust impact protection, while a shifter pad in the toe area ensures optimal gear control without premature wear.
Inside, a GORE-TEX® performance membrane delivers industry-leading waterproofing and breathability, keeping feet dry through creeks, puddles, and extended riding in wet conditions. The anatomical, removable insole enhances breathability and provides performance support throughout long days in the saddle.
Closure is handled by two lightweight, replaceable aluminum buckles plus a broad Velcro strap on the upper calf for a customizable, secure fit. The wide boot opening makes entry and exit easy, and the design accommodates use both under riding pants and with external knee guards. The welt-stitched, tessellated lug-tread rubber sole delivers superior grip across all surfaces and can be resoled to extend the life of the boot.
