This would possibly not come as a shock to many who know me, together with my spouse, former RideApart author contributor Tony Markovich, or Motor1 managing editor Jeff Perez, however I like footwear. I most likely have too many footwear and far more footwear than most guys my age.
However whereas I do not absolutely dabble within the sneaker-head aspect of issues like Tony and Jeff who’re each certifiable, I am extra of a “I like footwear that do one thing.” Which is why I’ve an workplace closet full of motorbike footwear and boots, racing sneakers, and searching boots. I even have just a few pairs of sneakers upstairs in my corridor closet and my bed room closet.
I’ll have an issue.
That will not cease me, nonetheless, from taking a look at new pairs. And folk, after I let you know my pockets practically leaped out of my pants after I first noticed this new Gaerne Steadiness XTR off-road boots, Mein Gott.
They’re lovely and I want them ASAP.
So the Steadiness XTRs are available in two colorways; Black, which appears nice, and White, which appears freaking beautiful. Now, there is no distinction between the 2. Every three clasps, a velcro prime sinch, and a gum-colored tread, in addition to the normal logos throughout the aspect and prime of the boot.

They’re additionally the identical value: $342.
However people, the White colorway is the way in which to go. I do know, I do know what you are saying, although. “However, Jonathon, white on an off-road boot will simply instantly get gross and soiled! Why not simply purchase the black ones?!” And to that I might say, I do not care, the white ones look superb. Plus, they’re waterproof. Hose them down and so they’ll be white once more after you get them soiled and gross.
And life’s too brief to put on boring outfits, so buck up, seize a set of the Steadiness XTRs in white, and go hit some trails. Now, when you’ll excuse me, I will be checking my checking account to see whether or not or not it will assist a really poor monetary resolution…
Dammit, it will not.
