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.
Great boots. You can see / feel the quality as soon as you take them out of the box. They are true to size but on the smaller side of things if you have a wide foot. I normally wear a 10 or 10.5 wide. The 10.5s I bought are snug…but perfect for a dirt bike boot. I really appreciated atomic motos customer service. I was having a hard time finding boots to fit my wide feet. I called them. A real person (Brian) answered who had a ton of product knowledge…he told me to try these this brand. Sage advice.
After a few productive phone calls with Brian I ordered my boots. I found they were too tight for my comfort and sent them back for a size increase. There was a smaill glitch on getting the new ones and Brian took care of it in no time! If you are looking for boots Brian is quite knowledgable on all sells. I would suggest highly to buy your next pair here at Atomic-Moto

Boots are great. Fit true to size and are very comfortable. The order was processed and shipped quickly. Very happy with this purchase.
Awesome product, just like the rest of the stuff they make
I found these boots way more confortable than the Leatt's 5.5, those were squeezing my ankles so much that the following day I still felt like I had the boots on.
Not with the Gaerne's, these boots are as comfy as a MX boot is going to get. They are well made, look great, and forgot I had them on until it was time to shift. There's definitely an adjustment period to learn how to shift on MX boots but that's the price for protection.
