A new entry-level off-road boot from Italian manufacturer Gaerne features some trickle-down technology from its high-end sporting footwear. The structural support consists of two lugs that slide into pockets, reducing the risk of overextension and over-torquing without limiting ankle flex. To protect from heat damage the inner faces of the boots are made using stamped suede, and to improve grip and feel the soles are a high-grip rubber compound. Fastening is by four replaceable aluminium clamps, the top two of which are removable to allow for a knee brace. They come in euro sizes 39-48 in a choice of black, red, orange black/white or yellow/black for an SRP of £220.
