The Pinnacle of PerformanceThe objective when making the Fox Instinct Boots was to produce a boot with exceptional ankle support, a hinge design that keeps a supple, leather boot feel with instant comfort and no break-in time.
Comfort and Support:
- Comfortable and supportive insole - The athletic footbed acting as the first stage in Instinct's progressive cushioning system is similar to one that you would find in a running shoe.
- Durable and strong shank - Imbedded in the Polyurethane mid-sole, the the shank design is perfectly positioned to provide arch support while letting the front of the foot and boot flex for good bike interface and for walking comfort.
- Comfortable mid-sole - The Polyurethane mid-sole provides amazing step-in comfort and vibration dampening. The embedded, tempered steel shank is encapsulated in the PU material giving the Instinct footeg arch support and awesome comfort.
- Well-placed heel - the strategically located TPU Heel Stabilizer provides heel and arch support.
- Durable and vibration-absorbent out-sole - Features Fox's Duratac rubber compound that disperses vibrations from the bike, provides amazing grip and outstanding durability.
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 and socket joint. The clasp pivots 8 degrees in both directions allowing for automatic natural alignment of the straps.
- Easy to use; smooth operation time and time again.
- Buckles move with boot as it flexes.
Interface:
- RCI- Ride Control Interface; the entire out-sole and medial side of the boot is shaped and textured to provide the rider with unobstructed contact with the bike.
- LRC - Low Ride Chassis; gets the rider's foot lower and closer to the footpeg. Lower toe box provides easier shifting and better rear brake feel and control.
- Duratac - rubber compound on the out-sole, burn guard and hinge cover was engineered exclusively by Fox's development team. The goal was to achieve optimal grip with bulletproof durability.
Fluid Movement:
- FRE (Full Response Engineering) hinge design provides a controlled range of movement allowing effortless linear mobility and 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.
R&D Wear Testing:
- The Instinct has undergone the most extensive product wear testing in the history of Fox.
- Six prototypes and hundreds of test motocross boots over three years evolved into the Instinct of today.
- Ricky Carmichael started initial testing process in January 2009.
- Two Championships and multiple race wins have already been achieved (Barcia in East SX Lites and Roczen in the MX2 World Championship).
- The final result is a clear elevation of motocross boot performance.
