    Got a pair today also ...Slightly different model with the soles sewn on instead of glued (?) to the upper as compared to what Motosportz displayed above ... Mine are a Terrain Adventure model ...

    Motoz, I'll be quietly flanking you on the far east side doing my testing\riding ... I'll apply a coat of mink oil before the first ride and I will not be wading any water in these if I can help it. I'd like at least a 1.5 yrs here on these.

    I need to go try mine. I chickened out last week because i did not want to get them wet. If I do that I'll never wear them. They are going to get very muddy very soon.

    Me exactly ... Tomorrows ride is gonna be down in a valley that has a river at the bottom and I'll be crossing it many times ... I'll take the old pair out for this one. But I might be racing Sat and Sun ... And practicing Friday ... I'll probably wear them then.

    Have several rides with them now. Like them a lot. Feel lighter than my other boots. Comfortable, solid, EZ on and off. Buckles look kinda cheap and plastic but so far work well. Nice boots. Bottoms are thick and isolate you from the bike some, took a little getting used to. So far quiet pleased.

    Think I'll pick up a pair....is the sizing run pretty true or possibly smaller per size? I ask because the ProGrip pants (Italian made) I just picked up run small to size....that's held true for many Italian products I've purchased throughout the years and just wondering if it's what I should consider again. Thank You.
    FWIW... the price at Atomic Moto is now $200.00 pair.

    I have Dominators as well. Good boots. These ones are cheaper and more simple in design. No inner boot.
