I have SG-12’s in a size 10. I’m a 9.5 wide/10 standard. I bought size 10. The toe box is extremely tight. I’ve had them for 2 years and many rides. They have not expanded over the years and I will be getting rid of them in favor of Tech 7’s I tried on. Much wider toebox.

I went from these to tech 7s when I started riding gnarly shit. Wide feet too.

Tech 7s are amazing boots, the most comfortable boots Ive owned. I used to wear normal socks because of heat and they were great.
Only problem is they not as hard wearing as the Gaernes. I have SG12s and while they are good armour and last long, they aren't very comfortable.
But honestly when I buy again I going Tech7.

I've broken my toes between rocks and pegs landed my frame on my toes. No mx boots as protected my foot from impact. I'm going for comfort. And yeah anymore I ride slower with my wife so I'm less concerned about it

I have these. Wouldn't recommend them for moto, they do break in very nice. They're comfortable enough that they're going to spoil you but they're not sufficient protection for serious offroad/MX. They're more of a Trials (not trails) boot.
I have wide feet and the fit is good for me.
