Gaerne All Terrain Gore-Tex trials boots are built for riders who want a waterproof leather boot with the feel and grip needed for technical riding. This Moto Central collection brings together the brown adult boot and a junior-labelled version, making it easier to compare the two live product listings without mixing them with Gaerne's other trials, enduro or touring ranges.
The official UK Gaerne distributor positions the All-Terrain for trials, adventure touring, dual sport and ATV use. Its specification combines a full-grain oiled leather upper, soft microfibre flex panels and a Gore-Tex membrane with protective shin, ankle and toe-area construction. The result is a useful middle ground for riders who value weather protection and bike feel as much as a substantial off-road-style build.
What defines the Gaerne All-Terrain Gore-Tex boot?
Weather protection
A waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex membrane sits inside the leather boot. It is intended to help manage rain and spray while allowing moisture vapour to escape, although water can still enter over the top of any boot.
Leather and flex zones
The official specification uses full-grain oiled leather with soft microfibre inserts at the front and rear. Those flex panels matter when moving between the footrests, gear lever and ground.
Adjustable closure
Three lightweight alloy buckles are replaceable and include rubber details for easier handling. A top hook-and-loop strap completes the closure, so each section can be adjusted rather than relying on a single zip.
Trials-focused grip
The gum rubber sole is designed to provide grip and feel on the motorcycle. Gaerne's Ideal construction also allows the sole to be replaced by a suitable repair specialist when wear eventually requires it.
Protection and certification
The distributor's All-Terrain specification lists an injection-moulded front shin guard, malleolus reinforcement and a reinforced toe area. It also states certification to EN 13634:2017 under EU Regulation 2016/425. Certification is an important baseline for motorcycle footwear, but it does not make a boot injury-proof. Correct size, secure fastening and suitable riding trousers remain part of the overall setup.
How to choose the right listing and fit
Start with the rider's measured foot length and the current size options on the product page. A trials or adventure boot should hold the heel securely and support the ankle without creating pressure across the toes or instep. Fasten the lower buckle first, then work upwards and set the top strap last. The closure should remain secure when the knee bends and the ankle moves through normal riding positions.
Try both boots indoors with riding socks. Check that you can operate the gear lever and rear brake without the boot twisting, and that the top does not create an uncomfortable pressure point against the calf. Young riders need the same checks. Buying excessive growing room can allow the foot to move inside the boot, which reduces control and may cause rubbing.
The All-Terrain is most relevant when waterproofing, leather durability and a grippy trials-style sole are priorities. Riders wanting a stiffer competition motocross boot, a shorter road boot or a lighter casual-style shoe should compare the wider motorcycle boots collection rather than assuming every off-road boot serves the same job.
Looking after leather and Gore-Tex boots
After muddy rides, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the boots with clean lukewarm water. Let them dry naturally with the buckles open, away from radiators and direct high heat. Follow the care guidance for the leather finish and avoid products that could obstruct the membrane's breathability. Inspect the sole, buckle pivots, straps and stitched or bonded areas regularly, especially after impacts.
Trousers also affect weather performance. An over-boot arrangement usually helps rain run outside the opening, while tucking a bulky waterproof layer into the boot can create pressure and direct water towards the cuff. Test the complete riding outfit before a longer trip.

Customer questions
Are Gaerne All-Terrain boots waterproof?
The official specification includes a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex membrane. Correct care and keeping water from entering over the cuff remain important in prolonged wet conditions.
Are these trials boots or adventure boots?
The official UK distributor lists the model for trials, adventure touring, dual sport and ATV use. Its gum rubber sole favours grip and bike feel, while the tall leather upper and Gore-Tex lining add weather protection.
Can the buckles or soles be replaced?
The specification identifies the three alloy buckles as replaceable and says Gaerne's Ideal construction permits resoling. Use appropriate genuine parts and a competent footwear repair service.
How do I choose between the adult and junior-labelled listings?
Use the live size selector and the guide on each product page rather than relying only on the listing label. Check foot length, riding-sock thickness, heel security and control operation before wearing the boots outside.
