My last boots Sidi Vortice and as great of a specimen as they are were always a bit tight. It felt that it got worse over time, I degrees. The Forma easily match the protect of the sidi. Plus SOOO much quicker to put on and less to do for a secure/protected feel. Circulation is Fantastic, even on a hot day my tootsies came out dry. The sole air pump definitely works great. The width is much better with my toes and width of my foot screaming with joy. The only short coming was breaking them in. It took a few times of riding with them, yet each time was noticeably improved. The part of the boot at the hinge was pretty tight at 1st and only noticed it when walking. While riding I forgot the hinge. I am glad I switched to Forma!
I got to try my new Forma Ice Pro boots this weekend at Putnam Park, Indiana.
What a relief from my old Alpine Stars!
I have wide feet and the Alpine Stars have been crushing my toes for years.
With the help of Brian and his recommendations, I ended up with a Euro size 44 Forma boot.
With his knowledge of boots he guided me to a product that had more toe space than other brands.
He also recommended going up one size from what I normally would get.
The result is that I now have a boot that is as comfortable as slippers, and easier to put on.
They felt great right from the start, no problems of any kind!
Can't thank Brian enough and will go to Atomic Moto for all my boot needs; road race, dirt or otherwise!
These are the best boots I have ever had on my feet while riding.
They fit great, and look great.
I will only wear Forma boots from now on and I will only buy my boots from Atomic Moto.
Very comfortable right out of the box, size 49 is perfect for a size 13EEE.
Brian was great to work with and help me find the right boots that would fit properly!
These boots feel very sturdy and protective which I love. Protection was my top priority with this purchase and I feel these boots will hold up to whatever challenge I put them to.
Having wide feet I was worried that they would be too tight, but the fit is just right. Maybe a bit snug, but the sizing in my eye seems a bit generous and there's enough room for my feet to not feel cramped.
I did have one issue with the lowest buckle on the boot. With my high arches/instep, the part of the buckle where the strap is held in place created a pressure point that made my feet/toes fall asleep after about 5 minutes of wearing the boots. Even leaving the buckle at the widest setting would not alleviate this issue.
I ended up taking some side cutters to the retaining bit of the strap and cut the protruding bit flush with the rest of the strap parts. After this mod the boots feel much more comfortable and I do not have issues with my toes falling asleep. The only concern now is that the removable part of the strap could "fall out", however if the buckle is left done up when the boots are stored there does not seem to be an issue.
All in all, I highly recommend these boots to someone with protection as their top priority and reasonably wide feet. If you have high arches/instep, be aware that there may be pressure points, but easily fixed through a simple "trim".
Excellent fit. Wide toe box, quality build and materials.
Excellent customer service (best in business). Will buy from here again.
Ordered these boots a couple weeks ago. A few days after my order, I got a call from Brian to inform me the boots might take a few days to get to me. Now, I’m nursing a broken foot, so time isn’t an issue. Boots finally arrived with an awesome pair of compression socks as a bonus. I’ve ordered from this company before and have never had a complaint. The fact I was contacted by phone about a few days delay on my order speaks volumes about atomic moto. This is how small businesses stand out and why we need to support them. Thanks Brian!
After much research and even a purchase and return (from Amazon) of an O’Neal Element I went with the Boulder Comp as recommended by Atomic staff. I found out that I have very little room for a boot with a higher toe box because of my shift lever. The Boulder Comp was better, although I did have to adjust shift lever. Shifting is far from idea but manageable. I wear a 10 1/2 in most shoes and ordered size 11 in the comp. The fit is good. The bottom portion is very stiff with hot spots on the top of my arches. The top upper portion has good flex and is comfortable. Buckle system seems good, functional and sturdy. The material on these is synthetic. I imagine with time the foot area should loosen up for better flex. The boots should offer good toe, heel and lateral support. The build quality appears to be very solid and they are not made in Chine, big plus for me. I would have rather gone with a fully leather boot but they were sold out. Brian at Atomic is outstanding and really knows boots. They were ordered and delivered in less than 5 business days. If the bottom half of the boot loosens over time, then you would be hard pressed to find a better boot at this price point.
