**Gaerne Balance Oiled Brown Motocross Boots for Men - Size 10 | Durable Off-Road Riding Boots for Motorcycle & Dirt Bike Racing**

These were unbelievably comfortable right out of the box - almost like walking on air! They are light but still rugged and protective. The fit was spot-on ( I wear a 10 and ordered size 10). I wanted a boot with a little bit of a vintage-motox look for my retro-looking Moto Guzzi V7 Stone street bike, and these fit the bill perfectly. (I know, motox boots for a street bike?... but I like the look). They are very stylish (of course they're Italian) and really go great with the bike. On top of that, they are comfortable and flexible enough to walk around in off the bike as well. Another thing that I really liked about these boots was that I did not have to adjust my shift lever - the toe box is compact enough to easily fit under it, and shifting was a breeze. Granted, there is no shift pad, so there is some marking from the shift lever. But these are oiled leather that shows marks anyway, and it contributes to their overall serious, rugged appearance. They breathe nicely, and although it was a warm day (low-mid 80's), my feet did not get sweaty at all. They have the Drytech lining that lets perspiration out but does not let water in. I have not had the opportunity to test the waterproof capability, but given the overall high quality of these boots, I believe the little tag on each one that says "waterproof." The straps were easy to adjust and worked well, and the soles were nice and grippy. I am very pleased with this purchase and have no complaints at all.
