Advice & Guides Long-distance trips and off-road excursions place special demands on bike boots. These are our top five for the job...

Customers have expressed overall satisfaction with these boots, praising their comfort, style, and functionality. Many highlighted their fit, recommending going up a size for better comfort with thick socks. The boots provide excellent protection and grip, making them suitable for various conditions, although some customers encountered issues with waterproofing and sole design. Despite these concerns, most found the quality comparable to higher-priced options, appreciating the sturdy build and convenience for both riding and walking. The boots are noted for being lightweight and durable, offering good value for money.
I wear these boots all day at work and then on whatever weekend rides I can get out for, and comfort wise these are spot on. I do sometimes feel the heel protection digging in occasionally when changing walking direction, but it's minor. Tread wise there is a lot there to give you plenty of confidence. Fastening mechanisms are excellent as well.
These boots are like slippers, straight out the box.
They are very comfortable boots and I received good service from Sportsbikeshop in Norwich, great Guys.
Great fit, great style. Good amount of movement and the ratchet straps make sure theres no movement. Looking forward to testing them out and putting some miles on them.
I have been using this pair of boots for several years now, and they have proved to be fantastic. Comfortable, waterproof and protective. Perfect boots for adventure bikes, and cheaper than competitors
These boots are exactly as described , very well made with all the protection i wanted. I've had to have made an adjustable gear lever to accommodate the " toe box ". Apart from that they're comfortable & the fit is excellent . All round a very stylish practical boot which should last me a good few years .
I have been wearing these for 4 years for commuting in bad weather and off road in good. After 4 years they are just starting to leak in really heavy rain. Otherwise still going strong. They also protected my ankles in a spill I took that wrote off my bike. Difficult to ask for more.
My mate got the shorter pair of these which I tried but disnt feel as comfortable to walk in as the taller boot, been out in some bad weather with these and they’ve kept me dry and kept the crap off my jeans, I love em
Had fox MX boots, Top protection, not much movement 5kg.
Forma, come ibln at less then half the weight, offer more flexibility and a water tight. The protection was more than adequate.! Took these to the abr festival this year, they were perfect.
I bought these in 2021, it is now June 2025 and i'm starting to think about replacing them. The inside of one heel is getting quite tatty, they really do need the superfeet insoles I added (now) and the outsides are as worn and battered as you'd expect boots that old, that have been through all sorts of weather (and airborne road crap) to look.
They are *not* 'proper' adventure boots because the soles aren't stiff enough. You wouldn't want to stand up on the pegs in these for hours at a time, nor rely on them if you come crashing down on some gnarly off-road adventure.
However, they're well built for road use, all of the fixings still function perfectly and the boots likely still have a few months in them even now - 4.5 years later.
If you're a road user who wants extremely comfortable (at usual size), waterproof boots that fit very well over leathers and also under textiles - get these if you can afford them. They're worth the money.
Very comfortable from the first time you where them ,safe feel all round great boot
Great boots, broke in quickly, really comfortable after a day
These adventure boots are really comfortable! The soles feel more like a walking boot - although the boot feels quite stiff at first it has softened up quite quickly!
The toe box is quite tall so it’s a bit more difficult to slip your foot under the gear shift…I’ve resisted adjusting the gearshift height and am getting used to it now.
I’m really pleased with the boots! Haven’t wet weather tested them yet.
They offer lots of adjustment and I’ve managed to find a good fit, even with my skinny legs!
Boot feels solidly constructed but is actually quite light weight which I like. Immediately comfortable and kept my feet dry in the rain of northern France. Would recommend.
These boots fitted well and were my normal boot size. They are very comfy and there is plenty of adjustment on the straps. I have walked in them and they seem better than past bike boots for grip etc. Not been in the wet with them yet. Only thing I had to do was adjust my gear lever as they are chunky and I need more space to get my foot under it.
Had a pair of the short Forma boots and they're my go to for warmer weather touring as they're so comfortable to walk around in off the bike. Bought these for those rides/trips where full length boots are a better choice. Like the short version, they're extremely comfy
Great comfort straight out of the box.
The ONLY boot (I've found so far) to fit around my huge calves.
Great protection.
Have worn on multiple 4-7 hour stints, yesterday in p****** rain!!! Feet stayed dry.
I went in to Sports Bike Shop to buy some Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex Boots. Unfortunately, these were not comfortable and far too narrow for my feet, so, on the recommendation of Ride Magazine and the Shorts Bike Shop assistant, I tried on the Forma Adventure boots and they fit like a glove. I had a few problems adapting to the different feel when changing gear in these, but so far, they are proving a good buy. I will let you know once they have been tested for a few miles in the rain.

We would say they are a standard fitting boot, that being said they tend to come up on the smaller size.
These boots have a good range of adjustment, that being said if they are not suitable we offer a free returns service for all mainland UK
