I am in the market for new boots. Have always been an A-star guy, wearing both 10's and 7's. I do enjoy their fit (size 12) and comfort. However I've noticed in my last few pairs that their durability is not what it once was. I ride three times a month if i am lucky, and they have worn down more than i would like to see in an expensive boot.
A couple freinds swear by Gaerne SG12's. And i would like to give them a chance. My biggest pet peeve, No local dealers carry them. I really want to get one on my foot, as nothing is worse than boots that don't fit well.
Can anyone give me some input on pros and cons between the SG12 and Tech 7/10's. please chime in if you have actaully worn both A-stars, and Gaerne's.

My friends all swore by the SG12's, so i pulled the trigger on some. I tried them for 3 rides, and i just couldn't do it.
For me, after wearing the Alpine Stars for so many years, i just got comfortable with the style and fit. Personally,
the toe on the SG12 was so bulky, i couldn't shift. i was really struggling on the bike. Purchased some Tech 7, and have been happy every since.
Just my 2 cents.

Sidi gets my vote.
FWIW, SG line of boots are just made better IMO.
IMO get the SG12 you will not regret it.
But I can definitely tell you to forget about the Tech 7. You can fold them up even when they're new...
I prefer Sidi for several reasons
