Anyone on here bought them yet? If so, sizing stay the same? Worth the extra? I'm pulling the trigger on new instincts, just not sure if I should go with the new ones or left over stock. Help me decide, and dont try to convince to buy any other brand. Lol. Just sold a new pair of tech 10s if they says anything....

There are more than two brand that make boots… some only make boots in Italian factories.

Anyways, these are new enough that you won’t see many long term reviews for a bit. Keefer will probably have a candid first impressions review sometime soon.

I'm aware there are more manufacturers. Im also aware of what fits me best so far. I understand long term testing isn't possible at this point. I'm more curious about fitment. If you wore X size in original instinct, do you still wear the same in the new boot?

My Dad got a set about 6 weeks ago (They came out in AUS super early for some reason) Sizing was the same for him, 10 in the old and new ones. Hes ridden a few times now with them and he's impressed with them. Super comfortable and the buckles are better too. Break in time on them was next to nothing

Iron Pony has then in stock. I tried them on and did not like them. Too tight over the foot.

Did you have this feeling with 1.0?

I'm looking forward to hearing what Keefer has to say before I buy a set of the Instinct 2.0. I've been wearing Fox Instincts for 5+ years now, so I am curious how or if they will feel similar on the bike just like you.

Hopefully the 2.0 still provides a great feel of the footpegs and controls.

I'm curious on the reviews as well because man I sure loved my instincts. They were hands down the most comfortable boot I've had. My SG12's were pretty comfy and felt like they had a higher level of protection but the break in and comfort overall of the Instincts was great. The weird smell they had sucked when they got sweaty but that's the only complaint! haha

Never wore them, so not sure how they compare. I just know the 2.0 were too snug. Bought A-stars instead
