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!

After hurting my foot and ankle a couple times riding I got these, they are comfortable and seem to be good protection. They are also pretty easy to walk in
Love these Fastbacks! Huge thanks to Brian for sharing his time and knowledge to find the perfect fitting boot (size and use) for my feet.
I felt I won the lottery by scoring these boots as I kept checking for weeks Atomic Moto WS for size 46 availability (non-Gore-Tex) and usually got Out-of-Stock for my size. Well I lucked out and order landed. As usual, fast shipping and good communication from AM. SG-22 fit me great right out of box. Felt way more flexible / walkable vs. new SG-12 that I ended up selling as being too stiff less communicative wrt foot controls. I like the Enduro's more aggressive sole, more traction when dragging a stuck bike out of the weeds /mud. I currently wear Gaerne Fastback Enduro, 46. Not waterproof, thus I went with the SG-22 Enduro Gore-Tex. Seems a bit stiffer but they're new and I expect they'll loosen up. Sg-22 toe box is bigger, wider and taller, IMO. I like the room for heavy socks and being able to move toes around. I have not trail ridden them yet..this weekend I expect a couple hundred miles on them. Hopefully I can come back and edit review. Boots from AM always a good purchase experience.
