I bought Band New SG12's last week, used them for the FIRST time yesterday. Within 1 hour of riding, my bottom buckle had broken off! I figured "That sucks, but they'll replace it no questions asked, right?" well, they are replacing it but they didn't want to. I read tons of reviews on the SG12's Tech 10's and Fox Instincts. Went with Gaerne because of the great reviews on quality. is this a fluke that they broke on the first ride? I sure hope so.

Operator error
I have mine for 5 years with zero issues, still feel solid with great support and moderate wear on the sole. I am even that guy that likes white boots and sure they are pure white anymore but they still look great!

The nail polish helps with arm pump. Obviously, you've never watched Motocrossed. It's a Disney Classic!

It's why I take off my number plate when I do a top end!
If it can't be fixed with a hammer, it's an electrical problem.

Had multiple pairs of SG12s from 09 until this year and never had any issues with buckles. Only thing that ever came off is the side badges, they come loose really easy. And their customer service was always great for me, that was the rider support though.

Unfortunately a fluke. I’ve had two pairs and never had any issues. Best boots I’ve ever owned.

I would say very good boot but the company has poor customer service to say the least. A couple years ago my boots top shield cracked and was about to rip off. They are adjustable and have a few different locations you can screw them in to make them fit with knee braces. At the time the boots were less than 6 months old. They would not replace them and just kept saying they would have them fixed for me. I did not understand how they could possibly be fixed so i finally gave in and paid to ship them to their repair facility to the tune of 30 dollars each way. I got them back and they shield had been just riveted on and was no longer adjustable. I called back to let them know my dissatisfaction now they had made the boots unusable to me since at the time i was wearing knee braces and they needed to be adjusted out but they riveted them all the way in. Heck for 10 bucks i could had half assed fixed them like that and not wasted my time or money sending them anywhere. They basically told me to go pound sand and i have bought nothing from them since.
