Glad I purchased these boots! I was considering Forma Adventure boots but I was concerned about the tall sole for my intended use. I won’t be hiking in the Dakar boot but it’s certainly comfortable enough for short walking. Worth considering if you don’t require a riding boot more aimed at hiking.
The fit was right on. Some 10.5s are a bit snug but these 45s, for me, seem between a 10.5 and an 11. The form is what I was looking for; a slim sole and toe along with ankle protection that doesn't restrict a little flex. 4 and a half stars on the functions of riding and walking and
staying dry. Easy to adjust to shifting and braking feel, good support standing on pegs, no hint of a leak when submerged, only a knock on the left boot sole not being perpendicular to the upper. Kinda throws off my gait and stresses my knee a bit. Your mileage may vary.
I bought these boots because they are real leather with a stitched on sole . I bought them from atomic moto because I bought a set from them several years ago and had a good experience. With this pair Brian really work with me over the phone with photos and video of my foot . In an effort to get the correct size the first time. From just trying these on he did it. I'd like to ride with them but that just has not happened yet. They look great and feel good walking around the house.
Fantastic, comfortable boots, and even better customer service!
Straight out of the box, great fit. Ordered same size at my Gaerne Fastback boots. So far they are perfect walking around in the house. Will be able to ride in them after Christmas!
It is so tight around the ankle it will leave a bruise. Maybe I’ve big ankle bones.
So far it has been difficult to contact Atomic in order to determine what my options are.
Great boots, comfortable right out of the box. Only thing I did strip out one side of one of the backing plates for the adjustable straps.
Fantastic gear without all the bulk and needless pockets....true freedom! Pants are a bit baggy for my skinny legs but they will be good for layering in cold weather. I love the tall size, I don't like my boots half exposed while on the bike. A legit 4 season kit if you add a mid-layer in cold weather. Atomic Moto, the only business on earth where the owner answers the phone when you call and helps you order.
Brian got me these boots in the enduro version. The size was perfect and the boot was comfortable right out of the box. 6 hours of riding and they felt great, looked good and have great protection. very nice boot.
