After hurting my foot and ankle a couple times riding I got these, they are comfortable and seem to be good protection. They are also pretty easy to walk in
Everything is as expected, except for two things:
1 - My feet like the original Forma sizing, so had to step up a size ... no biggie.
2 - The color (brown) is a bit lighter than I wanted, so I gave them a false patina with some black leather polish ... now looks exactly like I wanted!
No gripes about the boots themselves.
Sizing can be a little tricky so I advise consulting with Bryan. I ordered the Forma Boulders in the biggest size available, but could tell right away they were a bit small. Bryan immediately sent me a return authorization and I re-ordered Adventures in the 49EU/14US......they fit perfectly. Very sturdy lower leg protection, quality materials throughout, and comfortable to walk in. But the real 5 Star Rating goes to Bryan for his helpful, no-hassle commitment to customer service, which can be hard to find these days!
The Forma Adventure boots (I've got brown which looks very good) are sturdy, protective and comfortable to stand on pegs with. They are also comfortable for walks / short hikes to see scenery and trails (not for miles & miles). The tall boots shaft protects from branches or trail crap flinging up to hit your legs. I was initially concerned about the plastic snap buckles, but they've been perfectly reliable for 100s and 100s of miles; easy adjustment, stays put once set. You'll need above-the-calf or knee-high socks. And be sure you know your European shoe size Oh, did I mention they look really good? Designed in Italy, manufactured in Romania (mine anyway); excellent build quality.
Just an add on to my review in August to give a shout out to Forma USA. I had and issue with a strap and they took care of quickly with no hassle. Great boot, great all around service! Been riding in them for 3 months with around 700 miles of both on and off road and they are comfortable. I also did some short hiking in the mountains, 1/4 mile at a time off bike and they felt almost like my regular hiking boots, just higher.
I have not used them outdoors yet
Brian was patient answering my questions on sizing and helped with the decision to go with the Fastbacks. The boots are great, and so is the customer service! If you found Atomic Moto’s information on AdvRider or on YouTube valuable, anything at all, consider supporting this business that supports riders.
As usual the customer service from Atomic Moto was first rate. Brian took the time to make sure my new helmet fit comfortably and correctly. This level of service is rare these days. Atomic knows how to do it.
Bought a pair. Excellent boot. Very comfortable. Like so much bought another pair in different color. Ride all year. Cold temps. Boots warm. Been caught in down pour. Boots waterproof as they say they are buckles are easy to use. There is a method on to buckle them. Way on off. Very very happy with these bits .
Perfect fit. Thank you Brian for helping me get to the right boot and size. Coming off a foot injury wearing ‘ADV’ boots, was referred to Atomic Moto and my buying experience was great! New boots are great!
