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!
I have had an opportunity to ride over 300 miles in these boots. They are breaking in nicely. One of these rides was 200 miles and involved some off pavement riding. These boots are comfortable for all day use. The soles give really great grip on all surfaces and they inspire confidence. It takes a little time to adjust to shifting with them, but that is to be expected. I had to do some walking and they are fine as long as it isn't a multi-mile hike. The only issue I had was the top buckle unbuckled on the top right boot when I mounted the bike twice. That was probably my fault. They are not optimal for running around the city, but that is not what they are designed for. I will be looking for another boot for casual riding. Overall they are a great touring boot that can be worn for hours and offer really good protection. I expect they will get even better with more use. I would recommend them and buy them again. High quality at a fair price. Thanks Brian for the advice!
I recently purchased a BMW R1200 GSA. My past motorcycle was Victory Vision. Last year I underwent surgery for a broken 5th metatarsal on my right foot due to a freak drop of the Victory. Lost 3 months of work and riding. After purchasing the GSA, I decided to get proper foot protection right up front. After asking about my riding style and intentions, I ultimately ended up with this Forma model. I wore them for 8 hours last night and the fit is perfect at a 13. They protect all of the key areas I am concerned about and while not ballerina shoes, have been surprising comfortable to walk around the house with. Brian's recommendation is a home run and he really knows boots. I should be getting out for a days ride soon involving some rough roads and off pavement. I feel much safer knowing I have the right boot for the job. I will update later after I get some miles with these boots, but my gut tells me they will be great.
I bought both these boots and the Gaerne Dakar boots to see which ones fit better and provided the protection I was looking for. And the answer was the Terra Evos. The fit is right, I wear a size 11 and I purchased size 45. There is a bit of volume that you might want to soak up by replacing the stock insert with an aftermarket one, which I did. Also note these boots are tall and beefy at the top. Depending on the cut of your riding pants, your pant leg may be pretty snug around the top of the boot. In sum, these boots fit great, are super comfortable, provide the protection I was looking for, and the customer service was great.
Fantastic boots with excellent protection, the materials used and welt sole exemplify a high degree of handmade quality that will last a long time with hard use. Brian at Atomic was incredibly helpful and helped guide me in choosing this product over another that was offered, in my past experience the Atomic team has always been helpful and experts in their product offerings. Can't say enough positive things about Atomic and the product they carry!
Bought these for dual sport rides on my Husky FE350S and Suzuki Vstrom as a more flexible and easier to walk in option than my Gaerne SG22 boots. These boots fit that bill, and the price was amazing. They broke in super quickly, fit wide but not too wide, and are much lighter feeling than my SG22 boots. I'm also easily able to wear thick socks if needed, so they will be great in Winter. Toe box is a little taller than the SG22 but not so much that I had to raise my shifter at all.
I have been very happy with my FastBack Enduro boots. I did modify them by taking some contact cement and adding a piece of flexible cutting board material as well as saddle leather to the inner part of the boot for more rigidity; HUGE help. That is the only downside to the boots, the lack of protection on the inner calf.
Otherwise they have been great for my hard enduro, trail riding and dual-sporting.
Comfort, flexibility and ease of operation. I wear a 9.5 to 10EE in regular shoes and I got these in a 9 and use a half insert (heel only) and they are just right.
Brian is incredible with his service, knowledge and attention to detail. If you take his advice/expertise, please don't go and patronize another business.
Without business owners like Brian, we'll all be pushing "1" for this and "2" for that option. Brian is serious about what he does and it's truly inspiring. When you buy from Brian, you know you'll be covered in the event of any issue.
I tried adding pics but it says the file is too large. Maybe it's the high resolution camera on the iPhone 17 Pro? Sorry, would've liked to have shared that image with y'all.
Definitely an ADV boot. More comfort than protection, as expected. No problem shifting. Not something I would hike in but not Frankenstein either. A good all-rounder. Thanks Atomic-moto!
Excellent personal fitment advice from Brian. Definitely my new go to for moto boots.
