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.
Bought these for dual sport rides on my Husky FE350S and Suzuki Vstrom as a more flexible and easier to walk in option than my Gaerne SG22 boots. These boots fit that bill, and the price was amazing. They broke in super quickly, fit wide but not too wide, and are much lighter feeling than my SG22 boots. I'm also easily able to wear thick socks if needed, so they will be great in Winter. Toe box is a little taller than the SG22 but not so much that I had to raise my shifter at all.
I have been very happy with my FastBack Enduro boots. I did modify them by taking some contact cement and adding a piece of flexible cutting board material as well as saddle leather to the inner part of the boot for more rigidity; HUGE help. That is the only downside to the boots, the lack of protection on the inner calf.
Otherwise they have been great for my hard enduro, trail riding and dual-sporting.
Comfort, flexibility and ease of operation. I wear a 9.5 to 10EE in regular shoes and I got these in a 9 and use a half insert (heel only) and they are just right.
Brian is incredible with his service, knowledge and attention to detail. If you take his advice/expertise, please don't go and patronize another business.
Without business owners like Brian, we'll all be pushing "1" for this and "2" for that option. Brian is serious about what he does and it's truly inspiring. When you buy from Brian, you know you'll be covered in the event of any issue.
I tried adding pics but it says the file is too large. Maybe it's the high resolution camera on the iPhone 17 Pro? Sorry, would've liked to have shared that image with y'all.
Definitely an ADV boot. More comfort than protection, as expected. No problem shifting. Not something I would hike in but not Frankenstein either. A good all-rounder. Thanks Atomic-moto!
Excellent personal fitment advice from Brian. Definitely my new go to for moto boots.
