Fox Racing Instinct Boots - 2023

Offering the highest level of grip, mobility, and protection, the all-new Instinct Boots are tailor-made for advanced and pro-level riders seeking best-in-class performance from their motocross boots. With major upgrades to fit, grip, and the closure system, the Instinct has been redesigned from the sole up with direct input from riders like Ken Roczen, Tim Gajser, Adam Cianciarulo, Ryan Dungey, and the Pro Circuit Team.

Grip & Control: Instinct Boots are constructed using ULTRATAC on the outsole, side of foot, ankle, and burn guard, allowing you to stay practically glued to the bike as you put in the work. To go along with this superior grip, the slim and flat medial design (inner side of the boot) increases surface area to keep you in close contact with the bike and further enhance your connection.

Protection: Instinct Boots incorporate TPU, a hard plastic material, in strategic locations to offer full coverage where you need it most. These boots offer the most protection of all Fox motocross boots, with little to no gaps in coverage care of TPU at the ankle, over the Achilles (which also includes a metal insert), at the calf, shin plate, and toe cap. The patented hinge lockout system around the ankle also stops motion before hyperextension to help prevent injury.

Secure Closure: Also updated for 2022 is the buckle and closure system. On the Instinct Boots, this 4-buckle system features a new, patented forged metal buckle system which provides a durable, secure closure for a precise fit and includes extended-length levers for easy opening and closing. The new ball and socket mechanism ensures your mobility is never compromised with this system, providing "float" as the boots flex and contract while you ride.

Mobility & Support: The hinge system on these boots allows for more controlled forward and back movement while providing lateral support around the ankle, plus reduces side-to-side motion as you ride. Additional support comes via polyurethane in the tongue of the boot to add stiffness, particularly useful as you tackle pro-level obstacles like whoops, high-speed turns, and triples. The sole is constructed to provide strategic stiffness where you need it most, further optimizing feel, support, and mobility. Combine the stiffer tongue with the comfort liner and you've got the stiffest, most performance orientated boots around, making Instinct the boot of choice for any rider seeking best-in-class gear on their quest to reach the top step of the podium.
