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.
They do seem like a good boot, overall I like them but have 4 issues. Main and biggest is the strap length, the straps in all positions are just way too short. Next I ordered a 14/49 and they are still pretty narrow. Third issue is they should mention treating the leather on the boot before first use or just do it from factory. A lot of wear where where the straps rub the leather, and they are not very water resistant. Lastly, I bought these because I thought that they would be a good balance of control, feel and protection. They are pretty much like every other boot where you cannot really feel the controls much at all. I am not a fan of the plastic molding in a toe box.
This all being said I do like the boot. I am hoping that they last if few seasons. I can't say I feel they offer a ton more protection or substantial gain over something like an O'Neill Ryder boot. But for three times the cost. I'm hoping I get three times to use, as the cheaper boots tend to only last a season or two.
I reached out to Brian from atomic and he helped get me into the best boots for my feet! Very comfortable and fit like a glove thanks again Brian
Comfortable!!! No sag!!These are great for motorcycling and I can see multi-sporting them to skiing, ice hockey, running, etc. Impressive socks and comfortable!!!
I'm happy with theses socks. They are the right length for my new Motocross boots. I can't say enough about Atomic-Moto, they are just great to deal with. I highly recommend dealing with them, no matter what you buy.
I'm super happy with these boots The quality seems great and they were already comfortable after just an hour or so of wearing them. They were even more comfortable after my first weekend wearing them and I think they will continue to break-in a little.
What is even better than the boots is Atomic-Moto! Brian was great to talk to and helped me find the right product for my situation. He tried to help me save money, rather than spend more than I needed to. I appreciate good customer service and being able to talk to a knowledgeable person. - That is EXACTLY what you get with Atomic-Moto!
