What model? Are you happy with them? Why / why not

Geaern. I think I spelt it corretcly.
The first pair I bought were Geaern Stratus and were fantastic. Best boots I ever bought. The next pair I think GP or something are no where near as good. Next pair will be a different brand.

Sidi vertigo air. Not bad but were not as race as I thought they would be.

Rossi Touring boots..I dont go for the fancy looks like Russ and Wattie

I exclusively use

,heaps of street cred for those great squiding moments.
In all seriousness astars smx plus, almost unbreakable, until ambo goes to work on them with sheers instead of undoing a zipper.

I've had a pair of Berrik for a few years, which I use on the road and at the track. Pretty good solid boot while riding and crashing

but not so comfortable walking around off the bike. They are stiff inside and press against my ankles. won't buy them again.

Rossi tourers with Jeans. Replaced my 1980's (long version) pair a couple years ago, these things last forever. Would buy them again, but I doubt I will need to.
