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 product exactly what I needed
And awesome service from Brian at atomic moto even after there was a delay in shipping he took the time to actually call me from USA to Australia and explain the issue and sorted it out as quick as possible he really went above and beyond
Fantastic service
Brian was spot-on for the sizing. Had a great chat about boots, riding style etc.... Boots fit perfect, have worn these boots for 2 days and breakin was minimal.
I highly recommend these boots if you're on the fence about them.
I upgraded from my old size 11 SG-10s which were in pretty good shape but the plastic buckle straps were starting to break off from age. The SG-12s are very rugged, high quality, quite comfortable, and look great. They feel slightly longer than the SG-10s so thicker-than-street-shoe socks are needed. My street shoe width is "C" so, like all the dirt bike boots I've worn for over 55 years, these are a bit wide but not enough to be annoying. Heavy cold weather socks feel snug. As they break in more and buckles are readjusted I think they'll be fine. Size 10.5 would probably be too snug especially with heavy socks. I would buy these again.
I ordered these boots and once I received them I had some fitment questions. I called and talked to Brian the owner. He spent a lot of time on the phone answering my questions and offering possible solutions. Ultimately, I decided to keep the boots. The whole experience was great and I ended up with a great pair of boots that fit well and comfortable right out of the box!
