Which on of those 2 ? :-) i'm really hesitating which one is better... 90% road (paved) trips and some walking 10% offload soft / light; Need one pair to use while bike touring riding and travelling which one ?
This boot should last for years. I have only had these a short period but I just got back from a 3 day ride. They are comfortable when worn for most of the day. Standing on pegs they are just stiff enough but easy to walk in. No time needed for breaking in but they will even be more comfortable once they are like with any boot. Only 4 stars because only had boot short time and buckles made of plastic see how they hold up.
I have had these boots for about 4 years (purchased from Atomic Moto) and worn them in all kinds of conditions...rain hot mud pavement walking around street riding and adventure touring. They have held up great and are still waterproof. These boots are flexible enough to give excellent ankle movement but offer good support and protection. With that great movement though comes the sacrifice of the support for more heavy duty off road use that you might get from a full MX boot. These were a great compromise between those MX boots and something like a Danner work boot.
Ended up getting a call to confirm my order, that turned into 100 dollars off price for choosing a different color.
I’d say that was Worth the call ! Customer service matters. You won’t get that from a big box store. Imma Happy man
Padding in all the right places for those long days on the bike plus a little extra protection. Held up well after a while season of riding.
Its still too early to get out on the bike here in New England but i can review the fit and quality of the boots. I was concerned about the sole being too smooth for adv riding but i don't expect any problems now that i have seen them in person and had the boots on. I have wide feet and i find them comfortable;
I normally wear 10 EE so after discussing with Brian we landed on a 45 which was great as it was slightly big on me and allowed me to get better insoles to get the fit just right. The quality of the boot is first rate and I can't say enough about the buying experience. Brian returned emails quickly and we talked on the phone twice. He took the time to ask about what i rode, where i rode etc and suggested several boots that i was able to research and consider before i made the decision to purchase the X-Power boots. I'll definitely be buying from Atomic Moto in the future!
Love them; need size 10, ordered 9; run slightly smaller. Was told I couldn’t return them, but not sure why…
Boots are awesome. Confidence inspiring. It is taking some adjustment for shifting and rear braking but not a big deal. Taking a bit for break-in but better every time I put them on. Brian’s advice was spot for me. I am no pro but with these boots I feel much more connected to the bike! Best price I found and arrive on time as promised.
