I was having a hard time finding in between sizes in these Forma boots. Atomic Moto gets them directly from Forma so you can have it your way, to steal a phrase. The boots are plenty tough for street riding and occasional offroad. The toe box is roomy and are more walkable than MX boots.
Fit and finish on these boots is top-notch. Bravo Forma. I have a size 9 wide foot, and the 43 fits me perfectly, especially the width. These are a great mid-weight medium duty enduro boot that works well with my Leatt knee/shin guards. They were a bit stiff out of the box, but have started to break in nicely after a few rides. One a street ride on my GS, the other a longer enduro ride on my KTM. The boots are comfortable on and off the bikes. Have not ridden in the rain yet, so I cant comment on waterproofness. So far I highly recommend these boots.
Forma Terra Evo Low Boots
I bought the Low boots so I could use them both for the street/ADV riding and light off-roading. If I was doing more off road riding, the tall would have been considered.
I used Atomic Moto recommendations for fit, which vary a bit from other vendors for the Forma boots. For me, they are the right size, a 47 and I wear a 12, they do seem to run a bit wide. Thicker riding socks works as a solution.
They took almost 500 miles for break-in, and now they are super comfortable to wear.
They are waterproof! Two days in a row of riding 250+ miles in hard rain and no leaks.
They are a bit heavy for walking in, but I wanted the stitched on HD sole vs. the rubber one on the Forma Adventure boot. The more I wore them, the better they got, but you are still aware you are wearing a heavy boot. The tread is nice in gravel/dirt when putting a foot down.
Sorry I waited so long to buy these....
Third pair of Formas and I've gotta say these shorties are a winner! First time buying a low boot and I wish all my shoes were as comfortable! Mixed rider here and these have held up great in the dirt so far - offering enough support and stiffness where needed. The soul is a big improvement over the Adventures in my opinion however both are great boots! Five stars on price point too. Use Nixwax on the leather and you can't go wrong! Fits true to size as well - i'm in between a 10.5-11 and 45's are perfect! Hope this helped!
Brian helped me pick out these boots based on a conversation about my riding goals, desired protection level, and the shape of my foot. His expertise about fit was spot on - these boots fit me great, and I have hard-to-fit feet, so this is a rare occurrence for me. On top of multiple phone conversations, Brian also added express shipping for free so that I could get an epic ride in with a friend. Will be buying all my boots from Brian in the future!
This viper level II is the exact replacement for my original level 1 shape wise. Slightly thicker & stronger support design.
Hopefully this will save it splitting on the edges where my original failed, after being packed away in my top box.
The fit was right on. Some 10.5s are a bit snug but these 45s, for me, seem between a 10.5 and an 11. The form is what I was looking for; a slim sole and toe along with ankle protection that doesn't restrict a little flex. 4 and a half stars on the functions of riding and walking and
staying dry. Easy to adjust to shifting and braking feel, good support standing on pegs, no hint of a leak when submerged, only a knock on the left boot sole not being perpendicular to the upper. Kinda throws off my gait and stresses my knee a bit. Your mileage may vary.
Brian was super communicative and helpful. His videos reviewing boots were crucial in helping make my decision. The Sidis are excellent. So light, stiff where it counts and comfortable. I would have never known that these work for wider feet without Brian's review as well.
very stiff boot that is going to take a bit to break in. Compared to the X-3, they are not as comfortable but have more protection around the calf. I bought these for my wife, who is 5'4" with 16" calves. They fit her great and have room around the calf to spare. I took a star off from 5 because the top buckle strap is inside the boot with nothing between the strap and your leg. All my other boots have the strap between the liner and the shin pad.
