My son Josh loves these boots while ripping around on his KTM 450 very well made and not bulky certainly will be getting a pair for myself.
Fast delivery and the boots feel great on trials bike so far.
I loved these boots except..... 😟 For the gum sole. It looks weird and was pretty low profile (a thicker sole lets me flat foot on my WeeStrom). Plus it seemed slick on my dry concrete sidewalk & drive though think that will improve wear. Considered getting them resoled but between other factors below plus cost the Formas made more sense. I also worried the leather would wear poorly under the shifter as there is no pad. I also thought these would breathe well but because there is some foam lining the breathability of the leather is compromised. The Formas breathe better. Finally I think the Forma buckles are sturdier. Stacy at Atomic-Moto made sure my return & refund was painless & prompt. Definitely like Bomber personal customer service!!!!
The most comfortable boot I have ever owned. I wear them in the desert on my xr400 and on the road on the V-strom. I'm a bit more conservative these days & they fit the bill nicely for my style of riding. If your jumping buses or dragging a foot at mach 2 you might want something a little more stout. Everywhere I go guys ask me what boot that is and how I like it. You will not be disappointed !
I have really wide feet. About the only shoes that are truely comfortable for me are Berkenstocks and Doc. Martens. I picked this boot because a few adv rider boards recommended this boot for a wide foot. First ride was 120 miles in the desert and they were excellent. No pinching or aching which I normally have.
Must thank Brian for recommending the Tech 7 boots, the design allows easy shifting without any motorcycle shift lever adjustment, 1st day in them was all day long…very comfortable. What a great experience shopping at Atomic Moto!
Brian was super, super knowledgeable on these boots and had answers to all of my sizing and fit questions- really helped me to believe buying these boots what the right choice for my style of riding. And they are. Great support, perfect fit, great quality- I have no doubt these will last me years to come. Definitely much, much better for my needs than the ADV style boots I had before. So far they've been perfect for enduro and trail riding on my Beta 300, but the hinge still means they're comfortable enough to wear on long distance ADV rides on my T7.
The boots aren't yet broken in as I'm getting some rubbing above the right ankle. I'm guessing with time and wear, this will resolve itself. Otherwise, a well constructed boot. Sizing per staff recommendation was spot on.
I have had an opportunity to ride over 300 miles in these boots. They are breaking in nicely. One of these rides was 200 miles and involved some off pavement riding. These boots are comfortable for all day use. The soles give really great grip on all surfaces and they inspire confidence. It takes a little time to adjust to shifting with them, but that is to be expected. I had to do some walking and they are fine as long as it isn't a multi-mile hike. The only issue I had was the top buckle unbuckled on the top right boot when I mounted the bike twice. That was probably my fault. They are not optimal for running around the city, but that is not what they are designed for. I will be looking for another boot for casual riding. Overall they are a great touring boot that can be worn for hours and offer really good protection. I expect they will get even better with more use. I would recommend them and buy them again. High quality at a fair price. Thanks Brian for the advice!
Brian at Atomic Moto is simply the best in the business - took the time to advise me on the boots for my type of riding and spent almost an hour on the phone. His customer service is legendary and the reason why I’m a repeat customer of his for moto boots
