Adjustable Bindings

I take a UK 12 which translates to a 47 but with these boots I had to get a 49! (boots worn with Thorlo Light hiking socks). The boots are well lined inside with a substantial inner footbed. I found them easy to get on and off with the ski bindings and velcro top band. The bindings are micro adjustable which was a nice surprise. There is a large range of adjustment to get them just right and for when the leather get's softer. I would suggest to set the bindings slightly slack for the first few runs out as too tight will give an unfair impression of the fit until the leather loosens up. These boots fit my leg, calf and ankle profile perfectly. I can't comment on the gear change as my bike has DCT but I did initially worry about being able to feather the back brake due to the thickness of the sole and lack of 'feel', but after a few rides it soon becomes familiar, even with my big feet. The soles are not at all slippy in the wet and the boot feels very protective and warm. Once fastened the bindings sit close to the profile of the boot so they fit under trousers quite easily. The waterproof 'Drytex' liner extends up to halfway between the top and middle fasteners. Unlike many other MC boots I have tried these boots are a wide fitting and I personally find them very comfortable. The soles are quite thick and it may take some riders a little while to get accustomed to the feel of them on the footpegs and around the controls. The only minus point I have got is that I personally don't like the look of the plastic protective gear change patches which are on both boots - I think that they look a bit daft and cheap but it's a minor point - if they did a version of this boot without them or with leather patches - then I would opt for that. So far the boots are waterproof but I have not yet really tested them on an extended ride in a heavy rainstorm and I probably never will.

Excellent boots and service

Comfortable to wear on and off the bike, I can walk in these rather than waddling like a duck in my other boots. Nice aggressive soles giving good grip on less than perfect surfaces such as muddy verges. So far they have kept my feet warm and dry and will update after the coming winter if that changes. Very quick service and best price from SBS. A very satisfied customer, thanks.

Forma adventure boots

I've done thousands of miles over the years including two RTW's so have had quite a few different types of boots , I've never tried Forma's before, but I'm rather impressed with the quality, fit and wearablility of these , comfy out of the box easy to get the right fit , yes they are middle of the road between outright protection and comfort but they are stiff enough for MOST off road duties and solid Enough for road work , so they will suit imo 80% of people, I would agree with other people and say take a size up from normal shoes . But I'd recommend them .
