Ordered these boots after hearing about how comfortable they were for years and several recommendations from others. I came across atomic moto during my search and liked the very informative reviews of products they sell. I spoke with Brian who asked me what type of riding I do, type of rider I am, what i was looking to spend, etc. He initially recommended a pair of boots that were cheaper than these and said they were excellent quality and would last a long time. I told him that I had heard of gaerne sg10’s for years and he said they were a great boot as well if I wanted to spend more than what I had originally told him. I got these for cheaper than anywhere else i could find on the internet. I like the fact that he didn’t try and upsell me on the most expensive boots and was well informed of the products he sold. Brian also told me he is the only one to talk with customers which works out well for the customer and his business.
I received the boots in a timely manner and tried them out. Most comfortable pair of boots I have ever had on my feet and I have been riding for 30 years. The build quality is excellent and blew the alpinestars I had out of the water in every way, shape and form. I will only order from atomic moto from now on and have recommended them to my riding buddies. Thanks again!!
I called cause I was having trouble getting anyone at Rocky mtn to give me any figment answers about these boots after sending a pair back, and i got ahold of the boot whisperer lol . Brian had me take a pic of my feet and email him within 5 minutes he called me back and emailed me some figment guides. Well to make a long story short he explained what was going on with my sizing and two days later I had a perfect fitting boot. Atomic Moto has earned a customer for life!
I wanted to upgrade my boots and spent a good bit of time researching different brands. I have a pretty wide foot so it was a challenge to find the right fit. Because of the awesome customer service from Atomic-moto I found these. These boots fit my wide foot without having to go up 2 extra sizes over my normal size 11. While the forefoot is wide the heel/ankle is snug and not sloppy. The overall quality is fantastic. This is the first hinged boot I have ever owned and it is a lot more comfortable than my previous boots. If you are going to invest in a higher end boot I would definitely consider Gaerne. I would also highly recommend Atomic-moto, I honestly wouldn't even shop anywhere else for them. Their customer service is far above anywhere else and adds tremendous value!
Great product and great service. Thanks Atomic-Moto!
Great boots, my second pair. These being several years newer had more plastic but that’s okay. They are also much stiffer so they need some breaking in. So far so good. Comfy already and not yet squeaky.
Bought this boot to encase my feet for riding - due to extensive foot surgeries I do not want to EVER suffer injury/impact/abrasion to my feet or ankles so I searched for boots that offered above average support. The CE Rating on this boot is 2-2-2-2. The ratings are hard to learn from manufacturer and dealer websites for some reason. 2 is the highest rating, 1 is the lower rating, and 0 is essentially going barefoot. The 4 buckles will keep the boot on my foot with no doubts (protection isn't any good if the boot flies off the foot. Police find riders boots and shoes often missing both on impact and abrasion crashes). The side-bend support is very good in these boots which was important to me. The sole is rigid which is another key attribute so if you go toe down your boot/foot doesn't rip backward and if you go toe up into the ground the sole won't rip off or twist the ankle to mush. The side panel and front panel are plenty adequate for ankle crush protection and smash resistance/protection if an object is hit. This is the first product I've owned Made in Romania and I am well impressed. The buckles are nifty and durable. Comfort?? They are comfy now but took a good 20 hours of walking about, flexing, bending, stairs etc. to get comfortable. I jam a softball down into the ankle area when I'm not wearing them to encourage the plastic boot plating to conform to a shape similar to my foot. These are structured stiff boot and required break-in for me. I keep the top 2 buckles buckled tight when I'm not wearing them to encourage the uppersto take on a cylindrical shape rather than being flat which makes the shafts more comfy on my calves/shins. Happy I bought them - they are very protective yet comfortable enough to walk around in and wear all-day and on multi-day rides. I am able to insert custom orthotics in for improved arch support and comfort. Toe box is thick so a bit of adjustment to my gear shift linkage was helpful. Glad I bought them and I'd buy them again. They are warm but not hot. Talk to Brian for exact sizing/fit. He (and I)recommend a size larger so that if ever you crash your toes don't smash into the inside end of the boot. A shot of silicone spray makes them easy to slip into (talcum powder could work too if needed). No negatives to comment on. They are solid protections, fairly comfortable, stylish I suppose and do what I want them to do. I wear them under my riding/touring pants - it's a snug fit but does fit. I don't like riding without them. I highly recommend you wear protective boots when riding ANY motorcycle not just off-road or adventure. Be safe!
They do seem like a good boot, overall I like them but have 4 issues. Main and biggest is the strap length, the straps in all positions are just way too short. Next I ordered a 14/49 and they are still pretty narrow. Third issue is they should mention treating the leather on the boot before first use or just do it from factory. A lot of wear where where the straps rub the leather, and they are not very water resistant. Lastly, I bought these because I thought that they would be a good balance of control, feel and protection. They are pretty much like every other boot where you cannot really feel the controls much at all. I am not a fan of the plastic molding in a toe box.
This all being said I do like the boot. I am hoping that they last if few seasons. I can't say I feel they offer a ton more protection or substantial gain over something like an O'Neill Ryder boot. But for three times the cost. I'm hoping I get three times to use, as the cheaper boots tend to only last a season or two.
I reached out to Brian from atomic and he helped get me into the best boots for my feet! Very comfortable and fit like a glove thanks again Brian
Comfortable!!! No sag!!These are great for motorcycling and I can see multi-sporting them to skiing, ice hockey, running, etc. Impressive socks and comfortable!!!
I'm happy with theses socks. They are the right length for my new Motocross boots. I can't say enough about Atomic-Moto, they are just great to deal with. I highly recommend dealing with them, no matter what you buy.
