When a BMW R1200GS clobbers your foot you know you've given a pair of boots a proper test
Another Great pair of boots from Forma, definitely pays to go a euro size up, I m a 43 so chose a 44, they fit perfectly. Also a big thumbs up to Sportsbikeshop, easy to order and delivered on time, no complaints whatsoever.
I've been using these boots for over five years and cannot fault them, on or off the bike, whilst exploring whats ahead on my adventures. The fit is perfect and I can literally wear them all day.
When you put your feet into these boots, you just feel the correct fit.
Well made comfortable on long rides waterproof, with the extra support around the ankle area. Really can't fault these boots. Money well spent
Hi , I received my boots last week and have just received a invite to leave feedback on my purchase. Just to say the box arrived and it was a little bashed up. But, my disappointment was clearly the box had been opened previous and the boots clearly had been tried on by someone else prior to me getting them. Packing Paper and cards in box were messed up and not as you would expect a brand new pair of boots to arrive. One of the soles had indication, the boot had been previously tried on. Only one boot had its inner cardboard support in place. They fit and seem otherwise O.K. but this did lead to a big disappointment by you as sellers.
Not had chance to test these in real wet weather but so far so good.
Went up a size but I'm between sizes, good wide toe box for us with wider feet. Toe box isn't too tall to cause gear selector problems. Good halfway point between road boots and MX boots. Stiff enough to offer good protection but not like waddling around in MX boots.
Forma seems to be the only readily available brand to make adventure type boots to fit the northern European size/shape foot i.e. wide! (I take a G fitting ) I've had a pair of their Adventure boots in size 43 for a few years now - extremely comfortable but relatively lightweight and lacking in protection when compared to the Terra Evo. Had to get a 44 tho' as the 43, despite a roomy toe box, was slightly tight elsewhere. Look well made and well worth the £230 paid. (The previous incarnation may be cheaper elswhere - easily spotted as it lacks the reinforced hinge guard behind the ankle)
Look good feel good, great if you have wide feet. Not done any long trips yet but going to Andorra in June they feel like I can stand on the pegs all day in them.
Light to walk in
I do think they will need some up keep to maintain them, but you know what you're getting before you buy them
I've purchased these boots over 3 years ago, and have been using them since for trail and adventure riding.
The boots are very comfortable and offer great level of protection and rigidity for adventure boots. Obviously these are not as rigid and protective as MX boots, but are a lot more rigid than number of other ADV boots in the market.
Because I enjoy doing river crossings, I was really happy that these Forma Terra Evo came with the waterproof lining. Unfortunately, after about a year of using them, the lining started leaking, and my feet were pretty wet after every ride in wet conditions. And I'm not talking about the water pouring in via the top of the boot - I'm taking about the body of the boot absorbing water and then releasing it inside the boot.
And have you ever tried drying boots with waterproof lining? Letting them dry naturally is next to impossible, so I ended up purchasing a boot dryer (similar to what is used for ski boots).
As with any technical gear, I've learned that I can improve the situation but applying Nikwax Fabric and Leather Proof Waterproofing after cleaning, and when I do it regularly, the water leaking inside the boot is significantly reduced.
So all-in-all, very comfy boots with great level of protection but they DO NOT stay waterproof for long.
Bought these to replace my Foma Adventure boots which are seven years old, same quality but much stiffer.
If you have wide feet these are the boots for you. Had to adjust gear linkage on my hypermotard as the boots are stiffer than the well worn Adventure Forma boots I had before.
I tried 8 pairs of adventure boots ranging between £130 -£250 These were the best overall for quality of materials, sturdiness ease of getting on and off, support and CE rating.
They are a very well made, robust and great tread/sole for when you need to put your foot down in the mud or off-road. Points to note. They took about 3 to 4 days of wearing in and to get used to the gear shift with a thinker sole and boot cap from my previous thinner Touring boot. The hinged ankle supports would catch on one of my engine guard bolts so I changed the bolt head to a smooth domed head. Something to be mindful of if you have any slightly protruding bolts /parts near ankle. Otherwise absolutely loving these boots.
This is my second pair of these boots and they are the perfect mix of MX style protection with ADV style comfort. Ideal for anyone using for trail riding, green Kanin for ADV trips
I bought both size 7 & 8 as I'm normally a 7-7-5 and the Forma sizing guide said to allow 0.75-1" extra. These boots are worth every penny. Protection in all the right places but you don't feel like a penguin walking- They are a nice snug fit and once on feel reassuringly firm in all the right places without being ridgid. I use these for trail riding and are the best boots I've bought yet. Highly recommend! WP liner actually works a dream!
Solid boots that have taken very little time to break in. Not used in anger as yet, however performed as expected on roads and a few stone tracks. Quality feels and looks as good as Sidi so expecting them to last well. Fit is same as usual shoe size with nice wide footbed and still plenty of room for thick winter socks. Comfortable from day 1. Cannot fault customer service from Sportsbikeshop A+ as usual.
A really well made boot, that is both supple and strong. Comes with optional toe cap (you attach it yourself) for those who want to look total off road. Easy buckle adjustment, chunky sole. My favourite thing is that the boot comes up the shin a little higher than most, giving better protection.
You won't get more comfortable boots than these in my opinion.
Very well made and should get years and years of wear out of them.
Very pleased with purchase.
5 stars.
