Fox Instinct LE Boots

KingsCourt
If anybody is interested in a new set of size 12 Fox Instinct boots, and like this Limited Edition version, this seems like a good deal compared to what you normally pay for the Fox Instinct boots.

You're better off paying extra for Sidis or Gaernes. IMO the quality of Fox Instincts is and has been terrible since they came out.

I've worn my Instincts for over a year and I really like them.
I am not easy on boots and these hold up well.

No issues with my instincts other than they are a little squeaky when I walk. Used them two seasons now and no noticeable tread wear.

My experience is the same. Easy to walk around in also

I've worn SG-12, 10, Tech 8,10. Never tried Sidi, but the newer Fox Instincts are the best boots I've ever owned. Rolled my ankle really bad in a set of SG-12's end of last year. Took forever to heal up. Feel the Fox boots provide far more lateral support. The G's also fell apart in a short time. My fox's have been through hell and back this year and still look new when cleaned up.

Had my instincts almost 2 years other than squeaking are in near new condition. Are you speaking against them from experience or hearsay ?

Pretty much have been put off Fox boots since I bought one of there older pairs (don't remember the name) and they were trashed in 4 rides. Called Fox to see if there was anything they could do for me and they said it was user error.

The instincts do look like much better quality, I must say.

Yup, love my Instincts after having 10's, then SG12's.

Sea Class is fishing as usual I'd expect

Best boots I've ever worn in my opinion. The first generation had a reputation for the straps breaking off but they said they fixed it for the second generation that came out a couple of years ago and I haven't had any issues so I believe it. They are squeaky when walking around though so they aren't good ninja boots.

I found the soles of my Instincts to be too soft, like sneakers. As s result, I dislocated a toe and badly bruised the ball of my foot when i got squirrelly a big whoop section. Maybe the off road version of the instincts have a stiffer sole, like their Comp 8 boots?

I went from Tech 10's (which I really liked) to Instincts. I won't be going back.

I went from SG10s which I liked, but not going back.

First season in a pair and pretty sure my next pair will be instincts as well. I can drive a car in those boots, that tells you something about how comfortable they are. My only complaint is wearing through hinge protector on the right boot which is quite odd.

Yeah, I've been in instincts since 2013 and I'll probably never spend money on other boots. Still ride regularly in my first pair and I already bought a backup pair. Soles have lasted forever too.

Great boots. I like hoe the inner part of the boot is completely flat with no raised spots. It makes gripping the bike easy. They are super comfortable and light. Not the same quality as a Sidi boot and won't last as long but great for one season. I'm super picky about my boots due to breaking my heel.
