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.
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.
Have not wore them for long but they were comfortable almost immediately. Brian was great in helping me get the right pair. Repeat customer and will continue to be!
Great product and Great service.
The jacket fits perfectly with plenty of protection, but still easy to move around in. Hopefully I won’t have to actually use it, but better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it! Thanks for your help again Bryan!
I don't have a lot of experience with boots for off-road riding but I do have a lot of experience fighting to find ski boots and shoes in general that provide the width and volume I need in the mid foot. I tried the Sidi Xfire with the Goodyear welt hoping the width would work, but they just didn't have the volume.
More than anything thank you to Brian who spent 10 minutes on the phone with me just to figure out exactly what the issue might be and recommended the SG-22 specifically for the molded toe box.
The SG probably could have sized down as their EU to US conversion is larger than Sidi, but the volume definitely didn't come from the size alone.
Very sturdy. First pair of motorcycle boots I have ever worn.
