My buddy at Pro-Vue goggles was selling Gaernes at Diamond Dons Vintage Race and got me the hook up. Damn things are expensive though! And of course there were no size 13's to be found. Direct shipped from Gaerne arrived today. Sweet classic black. Damn Tech 8's of mine cracked and fell to pieces. Does Alpinestars have a self destruct date on the buckles and all the plastic? lol We'll see how these hold up.
All i can say is that you will love them, my tech 6's fell apart last year & I got the the Sg12's
Most comfortable boot's I've ever owned.

Also.. I've never had an easier boot to break in. They were so comfortable I wore them to school the day I got them.
I find a sz 14 alpinestar very snug and the sz13 gaerne fits great.
I was A-stars my whole life.
I tried SG10's but hated them.
Then when these came out it was just love
unfortunately cant justify the price tag to get another pair (got the last pair given as part of a sponsorship deal) so i'll probably go for a pair of tcx pro 2.1's next or some sg10s if i can get a really good deal (if i have to pay for them)
if money was no object i would buy another pair of sg12s definitely! best boots ive ever had by a long way (only pair that have ever lasted me more than 6 months)
anyone know of any shops in the states that are doing good deals on the sg12s at the minute?

All in all, the 10's are great boots and it is hard to justify the extra $100 for the 12's. Yes, they still make the 10's.
Never had any problem with them wearing out the soles either. Very weird to keep hearing that. My assumption is that some of you have very sharp pegs. I run stockers and my boots are fine.
With that said, I am pretty much used to them and know what to expect. I did have to become more aware of my left foot, where it was positioned and shifting leading into a jump section.
Most comfortable and protective boot on the market I think.
