Gaerne Clothing

Gaerne: Over Six Decades of Italian Footwear Excellence

Few names in the world of moto and cycling footwear carry the weight of tradition and performance that Gaerne does. Founded in 1962 by master shoemaker Ernesto Gazzola in Coste di Maser, in the Treviso region of northern Italy, Gaerne has grown from a small artisan workshop into a globally recognized leader in performance footwear. That foundation in Italian craftsmanship — where every last, material, and construction detail matters — remains at the heart of everything the brand builds today.

Born in Italy, Proven on Every Terrain

Gaerne's story began with outdoor footwear before expanding into the demanding world of motocross and, later, competitive cycling. The brand's entry into motocross boots transformed what riders expected from their gear: not just protection, but a precise, anatomical fit that works in harmony with the rider's body. Over the decades, Gaerne developed innovations like the Dual Stage Pivot System for enhanced ankle support and Goodyear welt construction for long-term durability — details that set their products apart from mass-market alternatives.

Today, Gaerne boots span an impressive range of disciplines — from high-intensity motocross and enduro to technical MTB trail riding and road cycling. Models like the flagship SG22 represent the pinnacle of competition-ready moto boot design, while enduro-specific variants featuring GORE-TEX® membranes address the unique demands of all-weather, all-terrain riding. Whether a rider is lining up on the start gate or navigating a remote backcountry trail, there is a Gaerne boot engineered for that exact challenge.

Performance Footwear for Cyclists and Racers

Gaerne's commitment to cycling runs just as deep as its moto heritage. The brand designs shoes for road, MTB, gravel, triathlon, and all-terrain disciplines — each model purpose-built to maximize pedaling efficiency and rider comfort. Their racing shoes reflect the same meticulous Italian engineering philosophy: optimized power transfer, secure retention systems, and a fit that feels custom even out of the box. It's no surprise that Gaerne footwear is trusted by competitive athletes across multiple disciplines worldwide.

Lifestyle Apparel Rooted in Racing Culture

Beyond footwear, Gaerne extends its identity into a focused line of rider-inspired lifestyle apparel. The brand's t-shirts and sweatshirts carry the same design sensibility found in their technical gear — clean Italian aesthetics with subtle nods to racing culture. These pieces are crafted for enthusiasts who want to represent their passion for two wheels both on and off the bike, offering a casual complement to Gaerne's performance-driven core lineup.
