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.
Great boots. You can see / feel the quality as soon as you take them out of the box. They are true to size but on the smaller side of things if you have a wide foot. I normally wear a 10 or 10.5 wide. The 10.5s I bought are snug…but perfect for a dirt bike boot. I really appreciated atomic motos customer service. I was having a hard time finding boots to fit my wide feet. I called them. A real person (Brian) answered who had a ton of product knowledge…he told me to try these this brand. Sage advice.
After a few productive phone calls with Brian I ordered my boots. I found they were too tight for my comfort and sent them back for a size increase. There was a smaill glitch on getting the new ones and Brian took care of it in no time! If you are looking for boots Brian is quite knowledgable on all sells. I would suggest highly to buy your next pair here at Atomic-Moto

Boots are great. Fit true to size and are very comfortable. The order was processed and shipped quickly. Very happy with this purchase.
Awesome product, just like the rest of the stuff they make
I found these boots way more confortable than the Leatt's 5.5, those were squeezing my ankles so much that the following day I still felt like I had the boots on.
Not with the Gaerne's, these boots are as comfy as a MX boot is going to get. They are well made, look great, and forgot I had them on until it was time to shift. There's definitely an adjustment period to learn how to shift on MX boots but that's the price for protection.
