Love them; need size 10, ordered 9; run slightly smaller. Was told I couldn’t return them, but not sure why…
Looking for a boot to ride as a passenger for ADV and street rides on a GSA. Was looking for waterproof and comfort. I usually wear 8-8.5 in casual footwear. Tried the men's 8 and was too bulky and just a bit too big. Brian recommended the women's boot in same size. Out of the box it was snug, but after a few ride and walking around a bit they loosened up as Brian said they would and are now perfect. They are also not as heavy or bulky as the men's version. Haven't experienced any rain yet, but did walk in ankle deep water crossing a stream and feet were dry.
I purchased these boots because of the very detailed reviews that the owner does on the products that they sell. His review of the Gaerne Fastback Boot is spot on. Very comfortable with good hinge movement.
Extremely light and well vented. Easy on the neck
It is so tight around the ankle it will leave a bruise. Maybe I’ve big ankle bones.
So far it has been difficult to contact Atomic in order to determine what my options are.
Great boots, comfortable right out of the box. Only thing I did strip out one side of one of the backing plates for the adjustable straps.
