I was having a hard time finding in between sizes in these Forma boots. Atomic Moto gets them directly from Forma so you can have it your way, to steal a phrase. The boots are plenty tough for street riding and occasional offroad. The toe box is roomy and are more walkable than MX boots.
Fit and finish on these boots is top-notch. Bravo Forma. I have a size 9 wide foot, and the 43 fits me perfectly, especially the width. These are a great mid-weight medium duty enduro boot that works well with my Leatt knee/shin guards. They were a bit stiff out of the box, but have started to break in nicely after a few rides. One a street ride on my GS, the other a longer enduro ride on my KTM. The boots are comfortable on and off the bikes. Have not ridden in the rain yet, so I cant comment on waterproofness. So far I highly recommend these boots.
Forma Terra Evo Low Boots
I bought the Low boots so I could use them both for the street/ADV riding and light off-roading. If I was doing more off road riding, the tall would have been considered.
I used Atomic Moto recommendations for fit, which vary a bit from other vendors for the Forma boots. For me, they are the right size, a 47 and I wear a 12, they do seem to run a bit wide. Thicker riding socks works as a solution.
They took almost 500 miles for break-in, and now they are super comfortable to wear.
They are waterproof! Two days in a row of riding 250+ miles in hard rain and no leaks.
They are a bit heavy for walking in, but I wanted the stitched on HD sole vs. the rubber one on the Forma Adventure boot. The more I wore them, the better they got, but you are still aware you are wearing a heavy boot. The tread is nice in gravel/dirt when putting a foot down.
Sorry I waited so long to buy these....
Third pair of Formas and I've gotta say these shorties are a winner! First time buying a low boot and I wish all my shoes were as comfortable! Mixed rider here and these have held up great in the dirt so far - offering enough support and stiffness where needed. The soul is a big improvement over the Adventures in my opinion however both are great boots! Five stars on price point too. Use Nixwax on the leather and you can't go wrong! Fits true to size as well - i'm in between a 10.5-11 and 45's are perfect! Hope this helped!
Brian was super, super knowledgeable on these boots and had answers to all of my sizing and fit questions- really helped me to believe buying these boots what the right choice for my style of riding. And they are. Great support, perfect fit, great quality- I have no doubt these will last me years to come. Definitely much, much better for my needs than the ADV style boots I had before. So far they've been perfect for enduro and trail riding on my Beta 300, but the hinge still means they're comfortable enough to wear on long distance ADV rides on my T7.
The boots aren't yet broken in as I'm getting some rubbing above the right ankle. I'm guessing with time and wear, this will resolve itself. Otherwise, a well constructed boot. Sizing per staff recommendation was spot on.
I have had an opportunity to ride over 300 miles in these boots. They are breaking in nicely. One of these rides was 200 miles and involved some off pavement riding. These boots are comfortable for all day use. The soles give really great grip on all surfaces and they inspire confidence. It takes a little time to adjust to shifting with them, but that is to be expected. I had to do some walking and they are fine as long as it isn't a multi-mile hike. The only issue I had was the top buckle unbuckled on the top right boot when I mounted the bike twice. That was probably my fault. They are not optimal for running around the city, but that is not what they are designed for. I will be looking for another boot for casual riding. Overall they are a great touring boot that can be worn for hours and offer really good protection. I expect they will get even better with more use. I would recommend them and buy them again. High quality at a fair price. Thanks Brian for the advice!
Brian at Atomic Moto is simply the best in the business - took the time to advise me on the boots for my type of riding and spent almost an hour on the phone. His customer service is legendary and the reason why I’m a repeat customer of his for moto boots
Super comfortable right out of the box. I wear a 2XL and I have issues finding a good fitting helmet. Fit and finish is tops in the helmet business. Highly recommended!
