Fox - Instinct Boot
Developed in conjunction with the assistance of Ricky Carmichael, the new Instinct Boot from Fox is a premium offering which is soon to lead the pack.
The Instinct has undergone the most extensive product wear testing in the history of Fox. Six prototypes & hundreds of test boots over three-years evolved into the Instinct of today, with the final result being a clear elevation of motocross boot performance. The Instinct objective was to produce a boot with exceptional ankle support with a hinge design that keeps a subtle, leather boot feel with instant comfort & no break-in time. A unique, new buckle utilizes a lever system with friction enclosure. No pins are used. This buckle is made to last the life of boot.
Comfort and Support:
- Insole: The athletic footbed acting as the first stage in Instincts progressive cushioning system is similar to one that you would find in a running shoe.
- Shank: Imbedded in the Polyurethane midsole, the shank design is perfectly positioned to provide arch support while letting the front of the foot & boot flex for bike interface & walking comfort.
- Midsole: The PU (Polyurethane) midsole provides amazing step-in comfort & vibration dampening. The embedded tempered Steel Shank is encapsulated in the PU material giving the Instinct footpeg arch support & awesome comfort (Patented Design).
- Heel: The strategically placed TPU Heel Stabilizer provides heel & arch support.
- Out sole: Features Fox’s DURATAC rubber compound that disperses vibrations from the bike, provides amazing grip & outstanding durability (Lifetime Guarantee).
Buckles:
- All new Patented buckle design that utilizes a pivoting clasp system.
- By using a spherical locking head, the Instinct buckle works like a ball & socket joint. The clasp pivots 8 degrees in both directions allowing for automatic natural alignment of the straps.
- Easy to use, smooth operation time & time again.
- Buckles move with boot as it flexes.
Interface:
- RCI (Ride Control Interface): The entire outsole & medial side of the boot is shaped & textured to provide the rider with unobstructed contact with the bike.
- LRC (Low Ride Chassis): Gets the riders foot lower & closer to the footpeg. Lower toe box provides easier shifting & better rear brake feel & control.
- DURATAC™ rubber compound on the outsole, burn guard & hinge cover was engineered exclusively by Fox’s development team. The goal was to achieve optimal grip with bulletproof durability.
Fluid Movement:
- FRE Hinge design (Full Response Engineering): Provides a controlled range of movement allowing effortless linear mobility & incredible lateral stability.
- Patented hinge lock-out stops rear motion before hyper extension.
- Top of boot gasket creates a secure seal. Velcro was eliminated to offer increased mobility.
Limited Sole Warranty:
- The DURATAC™ outsole carries a limited wear warranty. Consult the Users Manual for warranty details.

I realy like this boot but i found the size was a tiny bit smaller compared to other brands but they started to feel alright when i started to wear them in. If i was to buy this product again i think i would go up a size. I think im going to enjoy these boots and i would have to say to anyone interested in buying them that these boots are fully sick and money well spent.

Poor quality boots
Two top buckles on the right boot have been broken after first ride. Plastic parts are real rubbish. No spare parts from Fox, no answer from customer service. Very disapointed.

Comments about Fox - Instinct Boots:
The Fox Instinct boots are hands down the best boots I have ever had/seen. All the hype Fox has done promoting these boots are absolutely true, they are extremely comfortable, flexible, little to no break in time, absorbs impacts, & feel connected to the bike. I dont think I will ever wear any other boots besides these. Amazing product.

I recently got my pair Instincts. I went with the white/black. Super stoked on these things. I cannot believe how good they are. This is my first pair of Fox boots so I wasn't sure what to expect but I am definitely stoked I spent the money!

Comments about Fox - Instinct Boots:
It's by far the best boots i've had (my last ones were tech10). They are very comfy and does feel like a tennis shoe. The toebox is very low which gives a perfect feel with the brake and gearshifter. The heel feels a little wide in comparison though. The Duratec technology sticks very well against the bike. All in all a very slim boot which does feel very protective too. Order a size larger than your shoe size.
