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.
Brian offers unparalleled customer service and I could not be more pleased with my purchase. Will be returning for all future moto needs.
Got these to replace Sidi Adv 2. The added protection can be seen and felt upon taking them out of the box and even more so when putting them on. The memory foam that firmly encases the ankle combined with the solid outer boot and hinge should keep the ankle as safe as possible. The stiff sole and firm but low-profile toe box will keep the foot from getting smashed. Despite having the feel of a ski boot, the SG-12 is absolutely walkable.
Should have bought them to begin with instead of seeking a compromise in the Sidi Adv 2.
I’m a 10 1/2 US in running shoes and 11 fit perfectly in both the SG-12 and Adv 2.
Thanks Brian, for taking the time to explain the differences and shipping these out very quickly. Looking forward to years or riding in them!!
With the help of Brian who called me on a Saturday morning helped with my decision. I had a couple boots in mind and these were on my short list. They showed up and I tried them on and they’re very comfortable and flex nice while walking. I think this boot offers the best blend of comfort,protection and value. I’m going to be very happy with them. They’re almost to nice looking to wear but I’m going to.
While dealing with Brian on this purchase it became obvious I was dealing with a highly knowledgeable, old school motorcycle guy. It reminded me of the guys I would talk with 30 years ago who knew the products, all the products. Tell him what you want and he'll tell you what you need. And it will likely be just that. There's value in this service. The SG12's are a heavy duty boot. To the point I was asking myself " do I need this much protection?" After breaking my leg at the ankle waring my old boots the answer was clearly yes. There are going to take some getting used to no doubt about it but you will have THE best protection money can buy. I can't compare to the Tech 10's because I haven't worn those. The Klim helmet Brian recommended is fantastic as well.
Brian suggested this helmet for the large opening, light weight and ventilation. It performed as advertised. Did my first race with it and had no issues. I didn't even notice it and that's what I want
