Boots are great, I have tried many boots over 35 years of riding. These are the best in my opinion, at least for me. No more big gaps at the motocross track and a recent foray into trials have made me purchase these. Originally I purchased just for trials, but lately I have been using them for General adventure riding and hardcore singletrack and have loved them every minute. Much more supple than a Tech 3,7,8,or the sidi crossfires, but still very supportive. I used to think I could wear those other high priced boots all day but now that I have tried these there is no way I would put myself through that again. These are much more comfortable for long periods. I only wish they had one more buckle near the top of boot instead of so much velcro, since velcro wears out and attracts debris. But its not a deal breaker. I will be buying these again when the current ones wear out. Best of all Atomic Moto is a great company to deal with. I ordered the wrong size and Atomic sent out the larger size before I could get the wrongs ones shipped back(it was the next morning after I told them they were too small). Awesome boots, awesome company. Thanks Atomic!
I upgraded from my old size 11 SG-10s which were in pretty good shape but the plastic buckle straps were starting to break off from age. The SG-12s are very rugged, high quality, quite comfortable, and look great. They feel slightly longer than the SG-10s so thicker-than-street-shoe socks are needed. My street shoe width is "C" so, like all the dirt bike boots I've worn for over 55 years, these are a bit wide but not enough to be annoying. Heavy cold weather socks feel snug. As they break in more and buckles are readjusted I think they'll be fine. Size 10.5 would probably be too snug especially with heavy socks. I would buy these again.
I ordered these boots and once I received them I had some fitment questions. I called and talked to Brian the owner. He spent a lot of time on the phone answering my questions and offering possible solutions. Ultimately, I decided to keep the boots. The whole experience was great and I ended up with a great pair of boots that fit well and comfortable right out of the box!
I have not used them outdoors yet
Brian was patient answering my questions on sizing and helped with the decision to go with the Fastbacks. The boots are great, and so is the customer service!
