does anyone on here use gearne boots? i am replacing a pair of a-stars and am undescided if i want to go with gaerne or a-star again. the gaerne look a little slimmer in the toe than the a-stars, and i have heard that they are quite comfortable. the one thing holding me back is sizing. i am a 10.5-11 and the size 11 a-stars fit perfect. whats the sizing like on gaernes? is it goofy? any input on this life changing choice would be appreciated.

just purchased a pair of gaerne sg-10's ,but haven't rode with them yet,just wore them around the house,but the second i put them on i was like, oh wow,these are comfortable! i have a pair of a-stars tech 10 's also and have no complaints about them either. the only thing? i wear i size 9and a 1/2 so i got the a-stars in a 9 and there kinda tight so i got the sg10's in a 10 and they feel a lot better. i like the buckle system for the gearns better also. alot easier to get on and off. hope that helps a little.
