I just wanted to share my experience with the Forma Adventure Low boots. Finding gear is usually a nightmare for me because I have a 11 4E foot, but after talking to Brian, he thought the size 12 or 46 would be my best bet.
He nailed it!
The left foot felt great from the start. My right foot has always been a bit bigger, but after just a short time wearing them around the house and breaking them in, I have no issues at all. The heel locks in very nicely and my feet don’t "slip" around inside, yet there is still all kinds of adjustment left on the buckles.
I took them out for a short 30 minute ride the other day and 4 hours later they still felt great! If you are looking for new boots, talk to Brian—the dude knows his boots!
You guys are always fair and consistent. Good company to deal with.
Forma makes great boots! I love their Predator off-road/moto boots and have been using them for years. After trying the best boots from most of the top brands including Sidi Alpinestars and Gaerne, the Forma Predators were easily the best for me. There is one small catch: in shoes I wear a 10.5 US. My left foot is a true 10.375 and my right is a 10.25. Size 10.5 tennis shoes work great. In the Forma Predators, I found I like the 44 (10) better than the 45 (11). Therefore, in the Forma Adventure Low I ordered the 44. The fit is fine, with one small problem, when walking, the boot bends right at the edge of the plastic overlay (for the shifter on the left, and symmetry on the right). In a size 44, this is just behind where my foot naturally bends, causing some minor irritation when walking. Hopefully this will improve with time. I believe a 45 would not have this same problem on my feet, and wish I would’ve sized up, instead of down in this case. Ideally, Forma would make 1/2 sizes. :)
The boots aren't yet broken in as I'm getting some rubbing above the right ankle. I'm guessing with time and wear, this will resolve itself. Otherwise, a well constructed boot. Sizing per staff recommendation was spot on.
Bought these to replace 6 inch Danner boots I wear during the summer. The Danners although good for walking leak while riding. I also have a pair of Dianese GT fulcrums which are great boots but are not great for camping. MY actual adventure riding is limited but wanted something with better traction than the Dianese and I do a good bit of moto camping but dont want to look like too much of a poser in full height boots. My Klim outrider jeans fit nicely over these. I wear a 11 1/2 to 12 shoe. 12 in hiking and running shoes and 11 1/2 in others. I went with a 46 knowing the majority of what I have is a 46 with the exception of my back packing boots which are 47s. Fit is very good and I think a 47 would have been a little too big. One pre requisite I have is I put green super feet in all my shoes except running and they feel great with them. Yes , at first they feel like ski boots
and are a little clompy but are already loosening. To sum it up I think the support they provide and the fit will be perfect for my gravel road, camping , road riding.
Definitely an ADV boot. More comfort than protection, as expected. No problem shifting. Not something I would hike in but not Frankenstein either. A good all-rounder. Thanks Atomic-moto!
Excellent personal fitment advice from Brian. Definitely my new go to for moto boots.
Great boot. Brian was very helpful and informative is helping choose a boot that fits.
Just rode for the first ride and returned with no foot pain. Atomic was so helpful in make the proper choice. Brian is the best he took time to help and was not Bias about brands. Thanks for all your help and caring for people.
Best boots ever! Absolutely the most comfortable riding boots out there. You will not regret it.
