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!
From my hunting days, I learned the only durable, breathable and waterproof membrane is GoreTex. I've been hoping for years someone would make a full size MX boot with GoreTex. So stoked it has finally happened, and by the best MX boot maker out there, Gaerne (at least in my experience).
The folks at Atomic had the boots in my size in stock and shipped them out quickly. They are always good to work with.
The Goretex liner comes up 3/4 of the way to the top of the boot. I had to step in about 15" of water with them last weekend, and they worked as advertised. Dry feet. And I have no worries they will stay waterproof for years to come.
Great support for choosing boots. Very satisfied
Love the boots
Customer service was great!
Picked this one up on the recommendation of Chris on staff. So far, it's help shield me from the worst of my highway riding and it's lasted me multiple hour rides without feeling uncomfortable. The modularity is great for scooting around the neighborhood and I like the interior sun visor so I can toggle depending on the weather.
Was struggling finding a boot that fits wide feet. I wear a 12 wide in hokas & euro size 47 in Forma boots for comparison. Brian had me measure my foot & insole length & I was skeptical that he was recommending a Sidi boot & also going down a size to a euro 46. He diagnosed my foot problem correctly, I had been sizing up on boots to gain width when I just needed a wider boot without extra length. The crossair x fits just right, very comfortable, ankle feels very supported, good peg feel, no problems with shifting or braking, feels light on the bike, fast break in time. Very impressed with the boot. The search is finally over.
