I bought a pair of these from Atomic Moto in 2017. I used them riding the streets of San Francisco as a cannabis courier/commuting, riding track, dual sporting and adventure riding all over the state of California and beyond. I've crashed in them at American Supercamp more than once. I've burned them on exhausts, taken them swimming through water crossings that I couldn't quite cross and hurt them every way I could think of.
They are dead now. My sole is flopping off like a classic hobo's shoe. I've cracked the outer shell.
They were worth every single penny I paid for them. I can confidently say they have at least 75,000 hard miles on them and zero love or care from me other than throwing them on the boot dryer periodically.
They are great for my big, wide duck feet and my wide, wide calves. They are comfortable and most importantly, they fit. Finding boots is a giant pain for me because of how I am built. These are the only thing I have found that offer good protection, good water resistance, don't cost a mint, and aren't a pain in the xxx to put on. So, I ordered another pair to get me through the next few years.
These boots are great so far. I haven’t been on any adventures with them yet bet walking and a short ride to the bike shop have been good. I normally wear 10.5 or 11 and Brian put me in a 10. They could have a little more length in my longer foot, but it is acceptable. I can tighten down the straps a little when they loosen up to prevent toe jamming. They fit nice and snug with lots of padding all around. They are quite warm so thinner socks are more comfortable, I usually wear thin compression socks and these work well. They offer a lot more support than my Daytona Road Stars. After breaking in they started squeaking and I fixed that with some dry lubricant spray. They are very comfortable while walking. 1-2 mile hikes are no problem.
I moved the gear leaver on my R1250GSA up a little. It may require a little more fine tuning, but upshifting was no problem on a short highway ride. Downshifting requires lifting the boot up and onto the shifter more than I’m used too because of the raised lever and thicker soles of the Toucans. Fine tuning and more practice should should sort this out.
Overall, great boot and great service from Atomic Moto!!!
Great fit for my wide feet & fat ankles!! Atomic-Moto is the GREATEST at offering expert advice for fit & always offering the best price!! GO Atomic Moto!!! My first call for ALL my M/C accessories!!
Picked these for all-weather paved and un-paved riding. I don't go seriously off-road with my 1190 but wanted good protection nonetheless. When I first put them on I was impressed with the cushioning feeling like my feet were wrapped in protection and comfort. The toe box is a little narrow and I ordered size 11 when I would normally wear a 10.5 The velcro closure at the top of the boot does not fit my (apparently) under size calves - when the velcro surfaces are mated The inside of the top edge of the boot has some rough stitching or something that was pretty uncomfortable - suggest tall socks. The two buckles are simply brilliant - would definitely consider getting new motocross boots just to have those buckles. The first two rides I took wearing these were 250 miles the first day and 350 the next in moderate temps with no moisture. My feet felt great at the end of the day and was happy to put them back on for the second day. Only sore spot was my calf - my socks dropped down and the boot rubbed on bare skin. Overall feel well-protected very comfortable and love the easy-on easy-off. Makes me much more inclined to put on on proper boots - if only I could get my street pants (Carhartt for example) over the shin protection. Regarding the Bombers - unbelievable service. I asked about them having a storefront to try on boots and got a phone call answering all my questions about boots helping me make this choice (no storefront so couldn't try them on but with such ample information I felt confident). I place my order and got another phone call letting me know there would be a delay (like two days). Who does this for their customers??? Whatever you're thinking about buying get it here!
Spent a lot of time reading reviews and researching different boots. I then called Brian and he spent a bunch of time on the phone with me talking about the options available and he recommended the Toucans. I was initially reluctant to spend that much coin but decided to pull the trigger. I've always had the issue of being right between sizes usually 11 1/2 -12 with one foot being 1/2 size off. I ended up getting the 12s. They felt great when I tried them on but with the one foot feeling just a tiny bit loose. I called Brian to discuss the fit and he again spent a bunch of time with me suggesting I try different insoles from my other shoes to see how it affected the fit. Why didn't I think of that?! I ended up putting Sole inserts in and these boots feel awesome. I've only put about 300 miles riding with them so far and they are great. Brian was right on with his recommendation and provided exceptional customer service along the way. Thanks!
After a couple of rides I am really liking these boots and looking forward to the protection they will offer. They are surprisingly comfortable right out of the box. My Revit OTB pants fit over them and can also comfortably go inside - my pants just have a gusset and velcro, no zipper so fold really flat to go inside easily.
On sizing I'd say if you are using the Euro sizing as your guide they run small but more true to size on US sizing. I usually wear a 41 in boots (like my Forma ADV touring) and Women's size 9 or 10 which is US Men's 7 - 8. I originally ordered the 41 but it was just too tight and had to return those and size up to the 42. I've never worn a 42 in anything else before so I hesitated but the 42 fits great. I have wide feet and the toe box is nice and roomy.
Definitely a new style of boot for me vs my Forma ADV's. Had to lift my shift lever up one notch and adapt my shifting technique but after a couple of rides I'm getting the hang of it.
I think these boots look great and the quality feels really solid. I suspect these will last me a very long time!
Excellent boots and great help from Brian!
Wore them indoors for a couple hours before I knew they'd fit. The forefoot needed to stretch a little. Viola, comfy boots.
Than you,
Bruce
I purchased the Sidi X-Power SC boots after breaking my ankle in the Astars Tech 7’s last July.I was looking for a boot with a high level of protection but with enough padding to not aggravate the new hardware that my ankle has been adorned with. These Sidi’s fill the bill. More protection than the Adventure Highs and Mids yet the same level of comfort. Excellent boots for me.
Have not wore them for long but they were comfortable almost immediately. Brian was great in helping me get the right pair. Repeat customer and will continue to be!
Great product and Great service.
