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.
I already own Alpinestars motocross boots and Corozal adventure boots for my Harley Pan America Special off-road. I wanted a pair of more comfortable low boots for commuting and non-technical dirt road type riding. I tried my normal size in this boot with another dealer as well as the little sister to my Corozals …… the Belize. The Belize had quality build issues that caused a hot spot and the Formas were too big. I called Atomic Moto and Brian took the time to discuss my needs, what I had already tried, my unique challenge with a small volume foot with narrow heel and wide forefoot. He recommended what I would have thought to be a too small in the Forma Low Adventure and his recommendation was spot on. He suggested I pull out the footbed and that would be how the boot would feel after broken in. After breaking in - he was spot on and they are very comfortable and just what I was looking for. So if you are looking for a low boot that offers some limited protection but is comfortable for all day on the bike as well as walking, hiking, camping off the bike, the Forma Liw Adventure boots are great! What was more exciting was his recommendation for the Gaerne Balance Oiled boots; something I hadn’t considered but wow I’m glad I did. They’re fantastic - see my review there.
Atomic-Moto knows their boots. I have an abnormally wide right foot (5")due to a bone growth from a previous accident. We tried the Forma Terra Evo Low Boots in my normal EU size 43 but they were too tight in the toe box area. I returned them and discussed my issues with a customer service rep and he asked me to send him a pic of my feet. After looking at it and we were done joking about the massive ball of bone, he suggested I size up to a 44 in the Forma Adventure Lows. They fit well and are breaking in quickly. There is no perfect solution for my wide feet situation but this is close. Since most manufacturers of Adventure boots do not offer a wide size it is very difficult to order boots online to see if they fit, and then have to mail them back when they don't fit. What a pain. I would recommend calling Atomic-Moto and speaking with a boot expert before purchasing boots online if you have wide feet. Awesome customer service.
Just took my first rose with new boots. Bryan was very helpful with sizing and his recommendation was spot on. Boots fit well and plenty of width which was what I was looking for. Boots provide good protection . Toe box is a little tall so shifting was awkward at first but as ride went on I got used to it. With more miles I'm sure I'll grow accustomed to the boots. Overall quality looks good. Thanks again for the help with sizing. I believe that made a big difference
I ride a BMW 1150 GSA. Most Miles are the daily commute but I do take the bike off road which in Florida that means a sugar sand track or deep motorcycle swallowing mud. The first half mile of my commute is a sand road as well. These boots are comfortable!! They feel about like proper mountaineering boots. Very stiff in the ankle but pretty flexible in the foot after breaking them in during 3 days of wear around the house and at work. Speaking of which I can leave them on all day at work as long as I am in the AC. Outside they get a bit warm for extended wear off the bike above 80F. Not hot to wear at all on the bike at 80F just a bit warm in the ankle area off the bike. Will have to wait for the summer to see how they do when it gets hot out. I have zero complaints and would recommend these boots for anyone who rides adventure bikes city bikes cruisers tourers commuters etc. I normally wear 11.5 US 45 in Italian shoes. I first tried size 45 but it was about a quarter size short in the toe. Perfect fit otherwise. I had to go up to a 46 which is what the website suggests for 11.5. Exchange process was hassle free.
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.
I have over 6 months use in rocky, sandy, hardback West Texas terrain and they have served me very well. I would buy again. The fit was perfect- always a concern when purchasing online. I'm a wider size 11 and the 45 fits nicely. Quality is evident and boot is made in the EU. After ordering I received a call from Atomic just to let me know it would be shipped in a few days (not immediately), was that OK? Great job of customer service.
Boot is firm and will take time to break-in, not a great walker but a no joke foot protection beast. I've had a few dabs hitting an unseen rock or stump and the energy is absorbed by the boot and not your foot other than a sting.
Thanks, Atomic

You can see and feel the quality in every part of this boot. Buckles are especially great. Surprising at this price point. I expect to be wearing these for a long time to come. Normally wear 10.5 shoe, but the 10 boots fit just right.
I recently purchased a BMW R1200 GSA. My past motorcycle was Victory Vision. Last year I underwent surgery for a broken 5th metatarsal on my right foot due to a freak drop of the Victory. Lost 3 months of work and riding. After purchasing the GSA, I decided to get proper foot protection right up front. After asking about my riding style and intentions, I ultimately ended up with this Forma model. I wore them for 8 hours last night and the fit is perfect at a 13. They protect all of the key areas I am concerned about and while not ballerina shoes, have been surprising comfortable to walk around the house with. Brian's recommendation is a home run and he really knows boots. I should be getting out for a days ride soon involving some rough roads and off pavement. I feel much safer knowing I have the right boot for the job. I will update later after I get some miles with these boots, but my gut tells me they will be great.
