Fastback Enduro Sole White

[Gaerne Fastback Enduro Sole White Motorcycle Boots Shoes Waterproof] A highly maneuverable model developed for enduro and rally riders.
What makes the Fastback stand out is undoubtedly the "ankle frame" placed around the ankle. The frames of Gaerne's top-tier motocross boots, the SG-12 and SG-10, extend from the ankle to the upper calf. While this significantly increases protection, it comes with the drawback of making it difficult to move when dismounted from the bike. The Fastback's "ankle frame" has a compact design that maintains basic protection while allowing for smooth movement when dismounted. This will be an essential feature for enduro and rally competitions that involve frequent mounting and dismounting.
[Ankle Frame]
So, how exactly does the ankle frame work? In short, it prevents "twisting." The ankle frame allows for vertical movement of the ankle while restricting lateral movement. This means you can perform normal pedal operations while riding and walk normally when dismounted, while being protected from injuries such as sprains and fractures caused by "twisting" in accidents like falls.
[Pivot System]
A pivot is a rotating axis, and by placing this axis at the ankle part of the boot, the ankle can move. The metal screw at the ankle acts as this axis, and together with the attached plastic part, it is called the "pivot system." The biggest advantage of adopting a pivot system is in controlling ankle movement. The degree of control varies depending on the design of the pivot system, which in turn changes the balance between protection and operability (as protection increases, operability decreases). The Gaerne SG-12, Gaerne's top-of-the-line boot, is the model that prioritizes protection the most, followed by the SG-10, and the Fastback is the model that prioritizes operability the most.
[Sole Construction Method]
When manufacturing boots, Gaerne is particularly particular about the sole construction method. The sole construction method not only greatly changes the comfort, but also makes a significant difference in protection. Gaerne's racing boots adopt the traditional Northern Italian manufacturing method, said to last "100 years," called the Norwegian welted construction, commonly known as "Norvegiese." The great advantage of the Norwegian welted construction is that the rigidity of the sole is extremely high. This manufacturing method has been a commitment of Gaerne's founder, Mr. Gazzola, since the company's inception, and it is something that can only be made with the skill of a craftsman. This is also why Gaerne's boots are still made in Italy.
