After a bunch of ride time on and off road I've yet to have any issues with them. Most of the time I forget they are there. Until walking, at which point it feels as if your boots come up above your knees. Still feeling it was money well spent for protecting questionable old knees!
Just received my new Pod K8 2.0's (both left & right) Was going to go with another brand but changed my mind due to Pods fitting videos and simplicity. I have had a custom brace for my left knee for the last seven years. It was heavy and great for skiing but not on the motorcycle. First impressions of the Pod braces out of the box and fitting, they are better than my custom brace and WAY lighter. Also pulling knee pads out of my Klim pants (D30) due to the build and placement of protection on the Pod's. Also without the pads in the pant knee's it's a much nicer fit (the Klim pants are over the boot). After riding these for awhile I'll come back with a ride update but for now I'm impressed with them and glad for going this direction.
Highly recommend Brian and Atomic Moto! Brian spent a ton of time on the phone with me gathering the info he needed to guide me in getting the best boots for me. Ended up with these Forma Terra Evo boots for road and light dirt riding and I couldn’t be happier. I have been recommending Atomic Moto to all my riding buddies and I am (almost) looking forward to the next time I need to buy some boots, it will definitely be from Atomic!

After hurting my foot and ankle a couple times riding I got these, they are comfortable and seem to be good protection. They are also pretty easy to walk in
Love these Fastbacks! Huge thanks to Brian for sharing his time and knowledge to find the perfect fitting boot (size and use) for my feet.
I felt I won the lottery by scoring these boots as I kept checking for weeks Atomic Moto WS for size 46 availability (non-Gore-Tex) and usually got Out-of-Stock for my size. Well I lucked out and order landed. As usual, fast shipping and good communication from AM. SG-22 fit me great right out of box. Felt way more flexible / walkable vs. new SG-12 that I ended up selling as being too stiff less communicative wrt foot controls. I like the Enduro's more aggressive sole, more traction when dragging a stuck bike out of the weeds /mud. I currently wear Gaerne Fastback Enduro, 46. Not waterproof, thus I went with the SG-22 Enduro Gore-Tex. Seems a bit stiffer but they're new and I expect they'll loosen up. Sg-22 toe box is bigger, wider and taller, IMO. I like the room for heavy socks and being able to move toes around. I have not trail ridden them yet..this weekend I expect a couple hundred miles on them. Hopefully I can come back and edit review. Boots from AM always a good purchase experience.
