Gaerne Balance Trials Boot in Oiled Brown Leather

There is a reason the Gaerne Balance Oiled has remained virtually unchanged for years: you simply cannot beat the combination of Italian craftsmanship and out-of-the-box comfort. Unlike rigid motocross boots, the Balance Oiled is constructed from top-grain, oil-treated leather that feels "broken in" from the very first ride.

Designed for the technical precision of Trials riding—where "feel" is everything—these boots have become the cult favorite for dual-sport and adventure riders who spend as much time hiking to a lookout as they do on the pegs. If you’re tired of the "clunky" feel of traditional off-road boots, this is your upgrade.

Features:

• Full-Grain Oiled Leather: Premium, breathable, and naturally water-resistant leather that molds to your foot.

• Gaerne Drytech Membrane: An internal waterproof liner that keeps your feet dry in creek crossings without sacrificing breathability.

• Gum Rubber Sole: A specialized "trials" compound for maximum grip on and off the bike.

• Three-Buckle System: Lightweight, adjustable, and replaceable alloy buckles for a secure, low-profile fit.

• Injection Molded Shin Guard: Provides essential impact protection without the bulk of an MX boot.

• Handcrafted in Italy: Quality you can feel in the stitching and construction.

Fitment & Sizing:

• Fit Note: Gaerne boots tend to have a slightly wider toe box than Alpinestars or Sidi, making them a great choice for riders who find other Italian boots too narrow.

• Sizing: Available in US Men's Sizes 7–13. We recommend ordering your standard "brannock" shoe size.

Maintenance Tip: To maintain the waterproof integrity and keep the leather supple, we recommend treating these periodically with a high-quality leather conditioner or beeswax-based waterproofing. Avoid harsh detergents that can strip the natural oils from the "Oiled" finish.
