Nice comfy boots right out of the box. Buckles system is a bit finicky to adjust length but not a show stopper. Nice boots, will definitely buy them again.
Brian was awesome! 10/10 customer service. He was recommended to me by Gaerne. Brian went above and beyond to make sure I bought the right size pair of Gaerne Balances Oiled. Will use again for buying moto/trial boots. Atomic Moto is also local to me in oregon which is awesome. They got me my boots very fast and right on time for the weekend.
A benchmark boot lives up to the hype. OK, we know that Gaerne makes a premium motorcycle boot, and the Balance Oiled are, if not their apex offering, pretty darn close to it. It is genuinely hard to describe how beautiful these boots are until you hold them in your hand. Everything about them oozes quality and attention to detail. At the same time, these boots are clean and simple. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Instantly comfortable and the gum rubber sole is awesome on and off the bike. I didn't purchase these for off-road use because they don't offer the requisite level of protection for anything more than a fire road. For me, these are an urban or weekend street boot that feels good, looks good and does everything I need it to. And boy are they a looker. People who know nothing about motorcycling comment on these boots. The consensus is that they are "wicked cool".
These boots felt comfortable right out of the gate-no break-in required!
I received today and they are lightweight and comfortable out of the box ad exactly how they are described. These are perfect for the type of riding I will be using them for 80% touring 20% dirt . Atomic Moto has never steered me wrong Thanks again Bombers!

Great product exactly what I needed
And awesome service from Brian at atomic moto even after there was a delay in shipping he took the time to actually call me from USA to Australia and explain the issue and sorted it out as quick as possible he really went above and beyond
Fantastic service
Brian was spot-on for the sizing. Had a great chat about boots, riding style etc.... Boots fit perfect, have worn these boots for 2 days and breakin was minimal.
I highly recommend these boots if you're on the fence about them.
I upgraded from my old size 11 SG-10s which were in pretty good shape but the plastic buckle straps were starting to break off from age. The SG-12s are very rugged, high quality, quite comfortable, and look great. They feel slightly longer than the SG-10s so thicker-than-street-shoe socks are needed. My street shoe width is "C" so, like all the dirt bike boots I've worn for over 55 years, these are a bit wide but not enough to be annoying. Heavy cold weather socks feel snug. As they break in more and buckles are readjusted I think they'll be fine. Size 10.5 would probably be too snug especially with heavy socks. I would buy these again.
I ordered these boots and once I received them I had some fitment questions. I called and talked to Brian the owner. He spent a lot of time on the phone answering my questions and offering possible solutions. Ultimately, I decided to keep the boots. The whole experience was great and I ended up with a great pair of boots that fit well and comfortable right out of the box!
