If you're serious about motocross, these Gaerne Fastback Boots in black size 7 are exactly what you need for hitting the tracks or trails. The wrap-around ankle pivot system is genius - gives you solid side-to-side support but still lets your ankles move naturally when you're shifting weight or working the footpegs. That PU-injected shin plate is no joke either - took a few good hits that would've had me limping in regular boots. The heel protection is beefed up too, which is great for those moments when you lay the bike down or catch your foot on something. Made with heat-resistant suede leather that grips the bike like crazy, plus the internal padding is actually comfortable for long rides. I've worn these for full day rides and my feet still feel pretty good at the end. They break in faster than most MX boots I've tried, and the quality is just what you'd expect from Gaerne - these things can take some serious abuse. Whether you're racing, trail riding, or just practicing jumps, your feet and ankles will thank you for the protection. They run true to size - my regular shoe size 7 fits perfect with riding socks. After several months of use, they're holding up great with minimal wear. Definitely worth the investment if you ride regularly.
