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!
Best boot I've ever worn. Love the ankle and overall support. I've owned most of the other brands and continue to come back to the SG12. I ride fast desert, and track so I prefer a stiffer more supportive boot. If I were riding slow trails all the time I might go with a less supportive/more flexible boot. I personally use this boot for everything and love it.
These feel like real protection. My Vendramini Lusakas fit like the proverbial glove, but can't hold a candle to these for sheer confidence. Very nice boots. Gaerne and Atomic for the win!
I originally ordered a different boot, when they went to pull the order they found they didn't have the boot I wanted. Im not sure of the gentleman who called me the next day to apologize, He talked me into the Gaerne Daker Aquatech's and im so glad he did, PERFECT !! This is exactly what I was looking for. so..THANK YOU !!!!! for going the extra mile for me.
These boots felt comfortable right out of the gate-no break-in required!
The SG-22s are expensive boots but worth the stretch if you can make it. Comfortable right out of the box just like everyone says. I went with Atomic Motos suggestion to focus on the EU size numbers rather than the US, and it turns out all my 10.5 US sneakers were labelled 44.5 EU. That is what I ordered, and it fits perfectly. I think the Gaerne size chart has a different mapping for 10.5 US, but I ignored that went directly to the EU sizing
