Great boots, not as supportive as $300.00 boots but better feel and are very comfortable.the are maid from top grain leather so they dont get hard after they dry out . the soles last alot longer than any of my alpinestars have.
I've had my RX Pros for about a year and a 1/2 now. The soles have indeed held up great and they are very comfortable. They were only $145.
The ankle protection is not very good but they are well made. Everything has held up real well. I even washed them in the tub - completely submerged - and they held up fine. I would definitely buy Gaernes again when it's time for some new kicks.
