Joe Rocket Atomic Shoes

What Joe Rocket Atomic Shoes Are

They sound fun. They sound exciting. And they are. The average cost is about $80, so they aren't terribly expensive for what you get. So, what do you get from these shoes meant for riding your bike?

• Synthetic suede and mesh upper for breathability
• Ankle guards to protect your feet
• Heel guards also to protect your feet from a different angle
• Toe slider (removable) because you want to protect your toes
• Gear shift pad, so that you can—you guessed it—change gears with ease
• Side venting, again for breathability
• Velcro straps across the tops to hold them on
• Neutral colors (black and gray) to match all your gear
• EVA soles for comfort

All in all, these shoes are meant to provide comfort and protection for your feet all the way around—without making it any harder to ride that bike of yours.

Where You Can Get a Pair

Shopping online usually makes finding any pair of shoes or boots your heart desires a breeze. While you can definitely find some of these shoes online, it's harder than you might think. Even the Joe Rocket website doesn't have the Atomic Shoes—just a fairly large variety of boots. Here are a few places to begin your search for Joe Rocket Atomic Shoes:

• Red Dog Motorcycles: Here, you'll find a nice view of the shoes you're considering buying. You even get multiple views. They only come in one color, but they're neutral so they should complement the rest of your riding attire.
• MX Dirt Rider has them too, but you'll have to type what you're looking for in the search box or spend a while combing the site on your own. It's kind of "busy" and it tends to be hard to locate things there. If you just want to browse for dirt bike apparel and related products (not just these specific shoes), it's a great place to look around.
• 1st Bike UK can sell you a pair of these shoes, too. Conveniently, they have both the US and UK sizes listed right there in the description.
• eBay: There's always eBay when you're looking for a deal or an obscure item. You never know what you might find there. Check for other Joe Rocket gear while you're at it. If you purchase multiple items from the same seller, you may be able to save on shipping.
