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.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.

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 :oops: 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.
