Ordered these boots after hearing about how comfortable they were for years and several recommendations from others. I came across atomic moto during my search and liked the very informative reviews of products they sell. I spoke with Brian who asked me what type of riding I do, type of rider I am, what i was looking to spend, etc. He initially recommended a pair of boots that were cheaper than these and said they were excellent quality and would last a long time. I told him that I had heard of gaerne sg10’s for years and he said they were a great boot as well if I wanted to spend more than what I had originally told him. I got these for cheaper than anywhere else i could find on the internet. I like the fact that he didn’t try and upsell me on the most expensive boots and was well informed of the products he sold. Brian also told me he is the only one to talk with customers which works out well for the customer and his business.
I received the boots in a timely manner and tried them out. Most comfortable pair of boots I have ever had on my feet and I have been riding for 30 years. The build quality is excellent and blew the alpinestars I had out of the water in every way, shape and form. I will only order from atomic moto from now on and have recommended them to my riding buddies. Thanks again!!
I called cause I was having trouble getting anyone at Rocky mtn to give me any figment answers about these boots after sending a pair back, and i got ahold of the boot whisperer lol . Brian had me take a pic of my feet and email him within 5 minutes he called me back and emailed me some figment guides. Well to make a long story short he explained what was going on with my sizing and two days later I had a perfect fitting boot. Atomic Moto has earned a customer for life!
I wanted to upgrade my boots and spent a good bit of time researching different brands. I have a pretty wide foot so it was a challenge to find the right fit. Because of the awesome customer service from Atomic-moto I found these. These boots fit my wide foot without having to go up 2 extra sizes over my normal size 11. While the forefoot is wide the heel/ankle is snug and not sloppy. The overall quality is fantastic. This is the first hinged boot I have ever owned and it is a lot more comfortable than my previous boots. If you are going to invest in a higher end boot I would definitely consider Gaerne. I would also highly recommend Atomic-moto, I honestly wouldn't even shop anywhere else for them. Their customer service is far above anywhere else and adds tremendous value!
Great product and great service. Thanks Atomic-Moto!
Great boots, my second pair. These being several years newer had more plastic but that’s okay. They are also much stiffer so they need some breaking in. So far so good. Comfy already and not yet squeaky.
Great padding around the ankle. I have a wide foot and these fit great.
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".
The Gaerne Oiled Leather Balance boots are a pretty complete package out of the box, but swapping out the OEM insoles for these babies is a very nice upgrade. Super comfortable and takes an already awesome pair of boots to the next level.
Fit was true to size. Very comfortable so far. Havenot hit any water yet so not sure how waterproof they are. Very happy with the purchase so far. Would recommend them.
You guys are always fair and consistent. Good company to deal with.
