Fox – Instinct Boots | $549.95
Meet the boot that officially changed the game, the Fox Instinct boots. 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. With years of product development and testing and a reputable name like Fox, the Fox Instinct boot will take your game to the next level.
The Fox Instinct boot 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 objective of the Fox Instinct boot 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.
