Forma Terra Evo Dry Boots

I recently purchased a BMW R1200 GSA. My past motorcycle was Victory Vision. Last year I underwent surgery for a broken 5th metatarsal on my right foot due to a freak drop of the Victory. Lost 3 months of work and riding. After purchasing the GSA, I decided to get proper foot protection right up front. After asking about my riding style and intentions, I ultimately ended up with this Forma model. I wore them for 8 hours last night and the fit is perfect at a 13. They protect all of the key areas I am concerned about and while not ballerina shoes, have been surprising comfortable to walk around the house with. Brian's recommendation is a home run and he really knows boots. I should be getting out for a days ride soon involving some rough roads and off pavement. I feel much safer knowing I have the right boot for the job. I will update later after I get some miles with these boots, but my gut tells me they will be great.

I bought both these boots and the Gaerne Dakar boots to see which ones fit better and provided the protection I was looking for. And the answer was the Terra Evos. The fit is right, I wear a size 11 and I purchased size 45. There is a bit of volume that you might want to soak up by replacing the stock insert with an aftermarket one, which I did. Also note these boots are tall and beefy at the top. Depending on the cut of your riding pants, your pant leg may be pretty snug around the top of the boot. In sum, these boots fit great, are super comfortable, provide the protection I was looking for, and the customer service was great.

Fantastic boots with excellent protection, the materials used and welt sole exemplify a high degree of handmade quality that will last a long time with hard use. Brian at Atomic was incredibly helpful and helped guide me in choosing this product over another that was offered, in my past experience the Atomic team has always been helpful and experts in their product offerings. Can't say enough positive things about Atomic and the product they carry!

I bought my Forma Terra EVO X boots in the fall of 2020. Wore them through the winter to help break them in, then rode with them here and there in 2021 to get used to them. But the full test came with my fall 3400 mile trip to do the COBDR in September 2021. Rain, snow, mud, water, dirt, etc. The full torture test including a potential injury. I can't tell you how glad I am to have chosen these boots. They are certainly stiffer than my last pair and a bit taller. But they are easy walking boots. Not slippers mind you, but they don't hurt my feet to be walking around in them. Very comfortable to walk in and when we had to ride and push through mud - no problem. Water crossings, also no problem including wading through to check out the best path. My feet stayed nice and dry - and I mean absolutely dry. My potential injury was when I fell against a steep bank and the bike pinned my foot unfortunately pointing backwards. But there was no damage at all to my foot and I credit these boots for that. Brian is right: buy the most protective boot you are comfortable riding in. For me, these boots are it and I couldn't be happier.

I've been wearing Adventure Low's for a bunch of years now, on my second pair, but my wife and I decided we're gonna do the TAT this summer and decided we should get some high boots with a little stiffer sole and more protection. Brian pointed me to the Terra Evo X and I could not be happier. Basically living in them for 30 days to get across the country is not worrying me in the least AND I definitely feel like I have a bunch more protection compared to the Adventure Low's, which are still a great choice that I will still wear for more slab/dirt combo rides. Thanks again Brian for your expert advice!
