NOS Gaerne boots blue size US10.5 / Euro 44
« on: September 12, 2013, 10:04:34 am »
I just bought these new Gaerne boots, they are slightly shop soiled and a hint of fading at the top of the boot.  They are marked as size 10 but it must be UK/Aus 10, I bought them thinking they were US10 (which I am) but they are slightly too big for me.

These boots have never been used on a bike.  They are a true classic, I am so spewing they don't fit me, I am almost thinking of keeping them for display/collectors purposes.

$330 will get them.

I had a red pair of Gaernes as well.....I liked them so much the next two or three pairs of boots were by Gaerne too. I reckon I looked way groovy with the Gaernes teamed with my red and yellow Hallman half leather/half nylon pants and then later on when I got too fat for the Hallmans, my Rat Maico nylons.....Oh for the days of tasteful riding gear ;D.
