Brian was awesome! 10/10 customer service. He was recommended to me by Gaerne. Brian went above and beyond to make sure I bought the right size pair of Gaerne Balances Oiled. Will use again for buying moto/trial boots. Atomic Moto is also local to me in oregon which is awesome. They got me my boots very fast and right on time for the weekend.
A benchmark boot lives up to the hype. OK, we know that Gaerne makes a premium motorcycle boot, and the Balance Oiled are, if not their apex offering, pretty darn close to it. It is genuinely hard to describe how beautiful these boots are until you hold them in your hand. Everything about them oozes quality and attention to detail. At the same time, these boots are clean and simple. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Instantly comfortable and the gum rubber sole is awesome on and off the bike. I didn't purchase these for off-road use because they don't offer the requisite level of protection for anything more than a fire road. For me, these are an urban or weekend street boot that feels good, looks good and does everything I need it to. And boy are they a looker. People who know nothing about motorcycling comment on these boots. The consensus is that they are "wicked cool".
These boots felt comfortable right out of the gate-no break-in required!
I received today and they are lightweight and comfortable out of the box ad exactly how they are described. These are perfect for the type of riding I will be using them for 80% touring 20% dirt . Atomic Moto has never steered me wrong Thanks again Bombers!
This is the second pair of boots I have bought from Atomic. I watched all the sizing videos and it helped me choose the right size the first time.
Customer service is excellent, had a slight shipping problem, they were on it and had it fixed immediately
Gaerne balance fit great, comfortable and quality material.
go ahead and put that order in! Dave R
Brian was awesome working with me to find boots that would best fit my wide shaped feet. These are incredible boots.
Wore this jacket on a 700 mile trip around southern AZ. Very comfortable.Very well made. Lots of zipper compartments. Breaths extremely well especially in the AZ heat. Roomy enough that I was able to wear a jacket underneath while riding through high country in the cool mornings. 10 out of 10 recommend
Slim toe is a big improvement. Best dual-sport/ADV touring boot on the market. Runs a size small.
I just wanted to share my experience with the Forma Adventure Low boots. Finding gear is usually a nightmare for me because I have a 11 4E foot, but after talking to Brian, he thought the size 12 or 46 would be my best bet.
He nailed it!
The left foot felt great from the start. My right foot has always been a bit bigger, but after just a short time wearing them around the house and breaking them in, I have no issues at all. The heel locks in very nicely and my feet don’t "slip" around inside, yet there is still all kinds of adjustment left on the buckles.
I took them out for a short 30 minute ride the other day and 4 hours later they still felt great! If you are looking for new boots, talk to Brian—the dude knows his boots!
Love the boots so far. Comfy out of the box and great feel in the soles.
