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.
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.
