Most enduro riders know the feeling. You're three hours into a trail, the weather has turned, and your feet are soaked. Everything else about your ride is dialed — and your boots are letting you down. The SG22 Gore-Tex Enduro exists specifically so that doesn't happen.This is Gaerne's flagship enduro boot built with a full Gore-Tex membrane — proven waterproofing technology that keeps water out without trapping heat inside. Step through stream crossings, ride through persistent rain, push through wet mud — your feet stay dry. That's not a marketing claim, that's Gore-Tex doing what it's done for decades across the harshest outdoor conditions on the planet.The Red/Black/Grey colorway makes this one more than just a performance boot. This limited edition configuration was personally designed by Ernesto Gazzola and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity inside the box — a genuine tribute to Italian craftsmanship and Gaerne's six decades of boot making. Bold color combination, collector's legitimacy, full race-spec performance underneath.The 3D toe box reduces the height between the sole and the shift lever, which shortens the distance your foot travels on every gear change. On technical enduro terrain where clean, precise shifts matter, that's a real advantage. The Dual Stage Pivot System handles ankle protection through two mechanical limit switches — not just stiff construction — that stop hyperextension, hyperflexion, and lateral movement before damage occurs while still allowing natural ankle motion within a safe range.The front shin guard adjusts between two positions and works alongside the three-position upper locking lever so you can properly dial in the fit around your calf and knee brace. The Gaerne Enduro sole compound is developed specifically for enduro riding — exceptional peg grip in wet and muddy conditions, durable enough to handle long days of hard use. Air vents near the front plate feed into 3D internal channels that keep fresh air circulating and pull humidity out, so even with the Gore-Tex membrane doing its job, heat doesn't build up inside.Grip Guard rubber on the inner leg keeps your leg planted against the shroud. Aluminum superlight buckles with multiple adjustment positions. Artisanal Gaerne construction — the same method they've used since 1962, and resolvable when the sole eventually wears through. CE certified to EN 13634:2017. Handcrafted in Italy. Available in sizes 10 through 12.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Gore-Tex waterproofing actually work in a boot?Gore-Tex is a membrane bonded inside the boot that blocks water from getting in while still allowing moisture vapor — sweat and heat — to escape outward. It's not a coating that wears off after a season. The membrane holds up through years of hard use, which is why it's the benchmark for serious waterproofing across outdoor gear.Will my feet overheat with a Gore-Tex membrane inside?That's the balance Gore-Tex is engineered to manage. The air vents near the front plate and 3D internal channels keep fresh air circulating through the boot, pulling humidity and heat out during hard riding. Most riders find the combination works well even on warm days, though no waterproof boot breathes quite like a non-waterproof one.Is this boot better suited for enduro than motocross?The Gore-Tex Enduro version is built specifically for enduro. The Enduro sole compound is designed for wet and muddy terrain traction on the pegs, and the waterproofing makes the most sense for long outdoor days where weather is unpredictable. For pure motocross track use, the standard SG22 is the better fit.Will these work with knee braces?Yes. The three-position upper locking lever and two-position adjustable shin guard give you the adjustability to fit properly over most knee brace setups without forcing anything.Do these need a break-in period?A few rides, yes — same as any SG22. They feel stiff out of the box, which is expected at this build quality. Three or four proper sessions and they start to feel right. Don't judge them after the first ride.What's included in the box with the limited edition?Every limited edition pair comes with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming the uniqueness of this model — a detail that matters if you're buying this as both a riding boot and a collector's piece.Do these run true to size?Generally yes. If you're between sizes or have a wider foot, sizing up is the safer move. This is a limited edition with fixed stock, so getting the size right before ordering matters — check Gaerne's size chart against your measured foot length first.
