REV'IT! Pioneer GTX Boots
The Pioneer GTX motorcycle boots have been specifically developed for adventure riding while offering the comfort of a trekking boot at the same time. We’ve improved the fit patterns to optimize the use of the GORE-TEX membrane. Because the boots are constructed with the premium GTX waterproofing laminate they are fully breathable and guarantee dry feet during bad weather. Furthermore, the unibody design approach allowed us to create the most comfortable fit and minimal seams in flex areas.
Closure:- Boa® fit system
- Boa® M4 Platform
The unique Boa® fit system makes for a perfect fit, an extremely fast closure, and a very lightweight boot. Enter the shoe, push the knob to engage, turn it for the perfect fit, and pull up on the knob for a quick release. Once locked in place the Boa® reels and laces stay that way. Made from aircraft-grade stainless steel, Boa® laces are stronger per gram than tank armor.
Lining:- 3D mesh
- Gusseted tongue construction
- Integrated gear shift pad
- Ortholite® insole Imperial recycled foam
- PP insole with integrated shank
- Rubber gear shift pad
- 3L GORE-TEX Performance Jazz Gusset
- 4L GORE-TEX Performance Rock
- GORE-TEX membrane
- Injected ankle cup
- Reinforced side panel
- SEESOFT™ protection at tongue
- Thermoformed heel cup
- TPU ankle disk
The heel of the boot is reinforced for added safety. The rider won’t notice it while wearing as the hard plastic has been heated to mold it into the perfect shape. The reinforced heel cup also contributes to a better posture of the foot.
Outer shell material:- CORDURA® 500D
- Omega leather
- Suede leather with WR finish
- Reflection at heel
- Vibram® Apex Sole
The combined expertise of the Italian company Vibram® and our in-house developers led to the birth of the revolutionary Vibram® Apex sole. This sole has been specifically developed for adventure motorcycling but offers the comfort of a trekking boot. Its profile features one distinct area for traction, one for braking, and one for stability. The surface of the sole is a bit larger providing more comfort while walking. The durable material and construction ensure this sole will last.
Certification:- These boots or shoes are certified according to the EN 13634 Standard, published in 2017 and have achieved level 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | WR | SRB rating.

Sizing Information
Several of us in the office tried these boots on for comparison to REV’IT!’s size chart(s) and also to compare to the fit of other boots. We found the size chart conversion provided by REV’IT to be accurate, so use the chart to choose a European size based on your US street shoe size.
As to overall fit, we find these boots are quite normal, I’d say D width, or “medium”.

Our Two Cents
The REV’IT! Pioneer GTX boots are an update on their previous model that used their in house proprietary H2O Hydraliner. Now you have the performance of Gore-Tex built into a great dual sport/adventure riding boot.
The Pioneer GTX boot is the little brother of REV’IT!’s adventure boot line. The top dog is the Expedition GTX, which has extreme performance in mind with its Dynamic Support Frame that performs more like a Motocross boot. The middle child would be the Discovery GTX boots which have a taller upper than the Pioneer and offer more shin protection than seen here. All three boots use the BOA lace system, which is a fantastic update on the millennia old lace-up technology we are all used to. With BOA you simply turn a knob to tighten or pull the knob to release.
The REV’IT! Pioneer GTX boots have the normal protection features you expect in a motorcycle boot. There are ankle protection, a heel cup, and a reinforced toe box. There is even SeeSoft™ protection on the tongue so if you take a stinger on the shin that nails the BOA knob you’ve got some padding to absorb the hit. There is also reflective material at the heel of the boots for nighttime visibility.
Key to performance on and off the bike, the REV’IT! Pioneer GTX boot has a Vibram® Apex sole. This sole is stiff in the instep where you need it on the bike. But it also has enough flex that you can comfortably walk around in the boots off the bike and the various tread patterns should help you maintain traction on just about any surface within reason. The boots also look like a normal hiking style boot.
The REV’IT! Pioneer GTX boots are the perfect adventure/dual sport boot for riders that want something that will perform as well on the bike as at the destination that isn’t overbuilt for their type of riding. The Gore-Tex membrane will keep your foot dry and comfortable while mesh sections of the tongue will allow that membrane to breathe in hot weather. :: Mike, 07/28/2022
