Is nobody a fan of gearne boots?
Not about being a fan or not, Sidi and Gearne don’t invest in SX like Astars, Fox, Thor do even tho their boots are better quality. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Does anyone have any experience modifying the flex control bars on their Tech 10s? I am looking at getting the enduro model which doesn't have them vs getting a standard pair and hacking away at those bars.
A stars switched their manufacturing from Italy to china awhile back and the qualify has severely suffered. Gaernes are where it’s at. A Stars is overpriced junk. My last set of Tech 10s I only got a couple of months out of. My gaernes I can easily go 1 1/2 years on a set.

They are not made in china, they are made in Croatia.
They must have changed again. Bottom line is it doesn’t matter… Italian made boots are far superior
🗣️the best boots are the ones that fit your foot.
They have never been made in china. I won't argue that Gaerne's last an eternity. Its kind of like tires, you can have a super grippy tire and you can have a very long lasting tire. You can't have both.
Why does everyone think Astars are made in China? Tech 7 is Thailand (the same country the Triumph MXers are made). I don't know about the Tech 3 and 5, but I would expect they are made in Thailand too.
It’s literally only one person that said that. Why can’t anyone read these days?
I see it all the time in YouTube comments.
How many hours did you ride wearing out Tech 10's in two months?
I remember after Eli got hurt, They even mentioned him modifying the boots.
You shouldn’t read those.
Love em, but I blew out my achilles in 2020 in my SG12s.
My PT summarized it like this - when load > strength, achilles leave the chat, its that simple. However, this injury has become very common in todays "ride of on the balls of feet" era of riding style.
At the time I was bare minimum doing 30 minute motos everyday. Literally everyday
COVID* and achilles injures..
