FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?
The GAVIA ADV GORE boots are designed for a wide range of conditions, featuring a full-length inner gaiter to keep out water and debris, and breathable textile bands for ventilation. However, for extreme sub-zero temperatures or prolonged immersion in water, specialized extreme weather gear might be necessary.
What does EN 13634:2017 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the footwear has been tested and meets specific safety and performance requirements for protective footwear used by motorcyclists. It covers aspects like abrasion resistance, impact protection, and cut resistance.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer or retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing guide. Trying them on with your preferred riding socks is also advisable if possible.
Can these boots be used for walking off the motorcycle?
While designed for riding, the non-slip sole and reasonable flexibility allow for comfortable walking over short distances. However, they are primarily engineered for motorcycle protection and may not offer the same comfort or support as dedicated walking boots for extensive use.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and exposure to wet conditions. A general recommendation is to reapply waterproofing treatment once or twice a year, or whenever you notice water is no longer beading on the surface.
What is the benefit of the internal reinforcement at the ankle?
The internal reinforcement at the ankle provides crucial support and protection against twists and impacts during a motorcycle accident or fall, significantly reducing the risk of ankle injuries.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust the Velcro and zip closures to find a secure but not constricting fit. Consider the thickness of the socks you typically wear while riding.
Water ingress despite gaiter
Check that the inner gaiter is fully extended and correctly positioned. Inspect the zip and Velcro closures for any damage or debris that may prevent a proper seal. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the boot exterior.
Difficulty zipping or unzipping
Ensure the zipper is free of dirt or debris. Use a zipper lubricant if necessary. Check the zipper teeth for any damage.
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the rubber sole with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt or oil. If the sole appears excessively worn, consider professional inspection for replacement.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your GAVIA ADV GORE boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the boots with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing: Periodically treat the boots with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for motorcycle boots to maintain their water-resistant properties. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
