Fastback Enduro Sole Brown

【Gaerne Fastback Enduro Sole Brown Motorcycle Shoes Boots Waterproof】A highly maneuverable model developed for enduro and rally riders.
What makes the Fastback truly stand out is the "ankle frame" located 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 enhances protection, it also comes with the disadvantage of being difficult to move around in when dismounted from the bike. The Fastback's "ankle frame" is compactly designed, maintaining 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 controlling lateral movement. This means that pedal operation during riding and walking when dismounted can be performed normally, and it protects against 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 rotating axis at the ankle bone of the boot, the ankle can move. The metal screw at the ankle bone 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 lies 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 maneuverability (higher protection leads to lower maneuverability). The Gaerne's top-tier boot, the SG-12, prioritizes protection the most, followed by the SG-10, and then the Fastback, which prioritizes maneuverability the most.
【Sole Manufacturing Method】
Gaerne is particularly particular about the sole manufacturing method when making boots. Not only does the sole manufacturing method greatly change the comfort, but it also makes a significant difference in protection. Gaerne's competition boots adopt the traditional Northern Italian manufacturing method, said to last "100 years," called the Norwegian welt method, commonly known as "Norvegiese." The major advantage of the Norwegian welt method is the extremely high rigidity of the sole. This manufacturing method has been a focus of the founder, Mr. Gazzola, since Gaerne'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.
