Haven’t had a chance to take these riding yet but when I received them I was really impressed. These are good looking boots. After trying them on and walking around in them, very comfortable as well. They are very stiff around the ankle but surprisingly easy to walk in with the double joint. Only time will tell if they hold up but I have no reason to think that they won’t.
When I first got these, they had some hot spots so I took em to the local ski shop for a fitting. $20 later they're literally custom fit for my feet.
Took em riding like an absolute idiot later that day. My feet, ankles, and shins were the only parts of me that didn't hurt at the end of the ride. Field tested the over-extension protection when I caught my toe and my foot pivoted on the peg. Tested impact protection on feet & shins eating lose stones when I was following.
Surprisingly water resistant as well, went through more than one puddle - pants sprayed but feet stayed dry until it started raining on the way home.
These are my first set of big-boy off road boots, so I don't have much to compare them against, but I'm very happy with the purchase, and feel much much much more protected than when I wear my Adventures.
as another review said Brian at atomic is great. Called twice to make sure of order details. On his advise Ordered a size 10 with is what I wear in Garne SG12. These fit tighter. I would say I'm a larger size 10. But an 11 would probly b too big. Nice and snug, feel broken in as soon as u put them on. They are tight around knee brace. I wear leatt x brace. Made a slight modification to shin guard and they are perfect,
Great boots and awesome service from atomic. Very impressed with the Forma predator 2.0s.
I have several sets of Forma boots. The quality, fit and features are excellent. These Predators at $339 are $200 less than compatible boots and in many ways better than those other boots regardless. I also own the water proof Forma Terra boots and they have become my go to boot for wet PNW riding. Forma'sare top of the line boots and Atomic is a great company to work with. Win/win.
Bought these for dual sport rides on my Husky FE350S and Suzuki Vstrom as a more flexible and easier to walk in option than my Gaerne SG22 boots. These boots fit that bill, and the price was amazing. They broke in super quickly, fit wide but not too wide, and are much lighter feeling than my SG22 boots. I'm also easily able to wear thick socks if needed, so they will be great in Winter. Toe box is a little taller than the SG22 but not so much that I had to raise my shifter at all.
I have been very happy with my FastBack Enduro boots. I did modify them by taking some contact cement and adding a piece of flexible cutting board material as well as saddle leather to the inner part of the boot for more rigidity; HUGE help. That is the only downside to the boots, the lack of protection on the inner calf.
Otherwise they have been great for my hard enduro, trail riding and dual-sporting.
Comfort, flexibility and ease of operation. I wear a 9.5 to 10EE in regular shoes and I got these in a 9 and use a half insert (heel only) and they are just right.
Brian is incredible with his service, knowledge and attention to detail. If you take his advice/expertise, please don't go and patronize another business.
Without business owners like Brian, we'll all be pushing "1" for this and "2" for that option. Brian is serious about what he does and it's truly inspiring. When you buy from Brian, you know you'll be covered in the event of any issue.
I tried adding pics but it says the file is too large. Maybe it's the high resolution camera on the iPhone 17 Pro? Sorry, would've liked to have shared that image with y'all.
Definitely an ADV boot. More comfort than protection, as expected. No problem shifting. Not something I would hike in but not Frankenstein either. A good all-rounder. Thanks Atomic-moto!
Excellent personal fitment advice from Brian. Definitely my new go to for moto boots.
