Forma Adventure Low Boots PU_JE2MQ943

Product details:

I'm reviewing the Adventure and Adventure Low boots today. After looking over the boots and comparing them to our other selections, I think they compare very favorably. The pricing of these boots is very similar to others, but just about $10 to $20 less than comparable brands... not a lot less, but if there are things to like AND the cost is a bit less, then it can be a winner for you. Also, the sizing is a bit more wide (as mentioned above) than other brands. Just a touch wider than Alpinestars or TCX and significantly wider than Sidi, so having the Forma gives a good choice for those with a wider-than-average foot. The specs of these boots are similar to other adventure riding boots. They have a heavy duty molded sole with a beefy looking tread pattern and the sole has impressive stiffness as well as a steel shank, so they'll hold up to standing on pegs. The leather is STIFF as compared to most others. I wouldn't say they are in the league of a full-on off road boot, and certainly the leather will break in and become more flexible, but they are certainly more stiff than any regular street riding boot and the stiffness will give you confidence in the boots' ability to provide support and protection. The boots have solid protectors on each side of the ankle bone that is situated between the boot's padded lining and the outside leather which will keep those from rubbing on you. Also, those are a bit "cup" shaped to fit over the ankle bone comfortably. The boots have the normal stiffening pieces in the toe area and also around the heel area so the boots will keep their shape and also protect against impact. The taller Adventure model has one more external plastic protector on the shin and one additional buckle, which, by the way, is the only noticeable difference between the Low version and the "regular" Adventure model. Both models of the Adventure are made waterproof by way of an internal waterproof and breathable liner.
