Forma Predator 2.0 Boots

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.

1st, Brian Price at Atomic is The Man! I had a goofy tiny little defect and he took care of it basically instantly; awesome! Thanks Brian! I would never hesitate to buy from Atomic. OK, the Predator 2.0's (I ride moto and am a small size 10)... super comfortable, no break-in needed boots. They are flexible where you want and stiff where you want. The straps and buckles are solid and stay locked but are easy to open when needed. The sole is grippy even on stock pegs. The styling and colorway is great. If 4.5 stars were an option that's what I would have picked instead of 4 stars. Why not 5??? Two things that I think are maybe more unique to me than maybe the masses so... 1) I've never had this issue with other boots or shoes but, the toe box seems on the tall side for my foot. I end up tightening the top foot strap maybe a little tighter than normal to try and take up some of the extra space. This space seems to deaden the feel of the shift lever on up shifts a bit, or at least is different than a more direct feel I'm used too. Maybe thicker socks would be a solution? Which leads to number 2) I run size large Asterisk Cell 2.0 knee braces with knee brace socks. The braces are (I think) the bulkiest out there, at least around the calf. Maxing out the shin plate adjustment the boots BARELY close, like barely. Would I buy these again? Yes. Could I like them more? Yes, with a lower profile toe box & 10mm more encompassing shin guard they would be 10 of 10 stars.
