Just got them today - initial impression is that they're a well made boot - I needed to buy a size larger than normal but once that was dealt with I find that they fit very well taking into consideration that I have a wide foot, high instep and rheumatoid arthritis lol - a few minutes tuning the clips to the right tightness and they feel like they're going to break in very fast - they are the only boot I could find that had a substantial hiker like sole as well

So if you have fat feets like me, they are worth looking into for sure

Still using my original pair going 5+ years.
I have size 14 flippers and Forma sizing Euro 49 fit perfectly.
Bought a 2nd Pair 2nd hand... only worn for 1 hour ride! for 55% saving.

Big feet and all day walking comfort, warm and keep my feet dry!!!
Great boots!

Is it these boots you’re talking about? I like them and will be needing some new, comfy boots after this season is done. Those that have actually used Forma boots, are they really waterproof? I’m sure as motorcyclists we all know how often waterproof gear, isn’t!

TIA

Thanks for review. :)
I have the tall version of these for 5+ years and they are still going strong. Been riding in monsoons and feet never got wet.

I looked at the forma and gaerne ,I chose the gaerne balanced oil . seems to be a very comfortable boot . looks good . walks very well . the forma is probably just as good , in the end the Gaernes just looked better to me . and I prefer a tall boot , the shorty style never appealed to me . nether of these boots offer great protection . I have always used leather lace up work boots , great on abrasion not much for impact . my sidi crossfire M/X boots has protection , but you walk like Frankenstein .
so it comes down to use and comfort . on the street it is a proper motorcyclist boot that offers some light protection and you can walk around . they look good and feel good . or you can go hard core and hope you don't have to walk anywhere .
the forma boots look good and have a good rep. enjoy .

Thumbs up for the Forma riding boots. I bought mine last year and plan on wearing them out. They're still a bit stiff for walking but warm, dry and comfortable while riding.

Big Forma fan here. I wear my Forma ADV Tourer whenever scooting about on my S10.
Great boots, well made, very functional and Forma has great customer service in the US.

Riding my dirt bike tomorrow, Sidi crossfire m/x on my feet. Guarantee I will hit something with my big feet. They offer great protection
