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.
Great padding around the ankle. I have a wide foot and these fit great.
A benchmark boot lives up to the hype. OK, we know that Gaerne makes a premium motorcycle boot, and the Balance Oiled are, if not their apex offering, pretty darn close to it. It is genuinely hard to describe how beautiful these boots are until you hold them in your hand. Everything about them oozes quality and attention to detail. At the same time, these boots are clean and simple. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Instantly comfortable and the gum rubber sole is awesome on and off the bike. I didn't purchase these for off-road use because they don't offer the requisite level of protection for anything more than a fire road. For me, these are an urban or weekend street boot that feels good, looks good and does everything I need it to. And boy are they a looker. People who know nothing about motorcycling comment on these boots. The consensus is that they are "wicked cool".
The Gaerne Oiled Leather Balance boots are a pretty complete package out of the box, but swapping out the OEM insoles for these babies is a very nice upgrade. Super comfortable and takes an already awesome pair of boots to the next level.
Fit was true to size. Very comfortable so far. Havenot hit any water yet so not sure how waterproof they are. Very happy with the purchase so far. Would recommend them.
You guys are always fair and consistent. Good company to deal with.
