Glad I purchased these boots! I was considering Forma Adventure boots but I was concerned about the tall sole for my intended use. I won’t be hiking in the Dakar boot but it’s certainly comfortable enough for short walking. Worth considering if you don’t require a riding boot more aimed at hiking.
The fit was right on. Some 10.5s are a bit snug but these 45s, for me, seem between a 10.5 and an 11. The form is what I was looking for; a slim sole and toe along with ankle protection that doesn't restrict a little flex. 4 and a half stars on the functions of riding and walking and
staying dry. Easy to adjust to shifting and braking feel, good support standing on pegs, no hint of a leak when submerged, only a knock on the left boot sole not being perpendicular to the upper. Kinda throws off my gait and stresses my knee a bit. Your mileage may vary.
I bought these boots because they are real leather with a stitched on sole . I bought them from atomic moto because I bought a set from them several years ago and had a good experience. With this pair Brian really work with me over the phone with photos and video of my foot . In an effort to get the correct size the first time. From just trying these on he did it. I'd like to ride with them but that just has not happened yet. They look great and feel good walking around the house.
Fantastic, comfortable boots, and even better customer service!
Straight out of the box, great fit. Ordered same size at my Gaerne Fastback boots. So far they are perfect walking around in the house. Will be able to ride in them after Christmas!
From my hunting days, I learned the only durable, breathable and waterproof membrane is GoreTex. I've been hoping for years someone would make a full size MX boot with GoreTex. So stoked it has finally happened, and by the best MX boot maker out there, Gaerne (at least in my experience).
The folks at Atomic had the boots in my size in stock and shipped them out quickly. They are always good to work with.
The Goretex liner comes up 3/4 of the way to the top of the boot. I had to step in about 15" of water with them last weekend, and they worked as advertised. Dry feet. And I have no worries they will stay waterproof for years to come.
Great support for choosing boots. Very satisfied
Love the boots
Customer service was great!
Picked this one up on the recommendation of Chris on staff. So far, it's help shield me from the worst of my highway riding and it's lasted me multiple hour rides without feeling uncomfortable. The modularity is great for scooting around the neighborhood and I like the interior sun visor so I can toggle depending on the weather.
Was struggling finding a boot that fits wide feet. I wear a 12 wide in hokas & euro size 47 in Forma boots for comparison. Brian had me measure my foot & insole length & I was skeptical that he was recommending a Sidi boot & also going down a size to a euro 46. He diagnosed my foot problem correctly, I had been sizing up on boots to gain width when I just needed a wider boot without extra length. The crossair x fits just right, very comfortable, ankle feels very supported, good peg feel, no problems with shifting or braking, feels light on the bike, fast break in time. Very impressed with the boot. The search is finally over.
