I have the Forma Adventure boot now and OMG it is sooo nice. its light, comfy and flexable.... protection??? probably not as good as my previous boot.
I previously had the SIDI adventure boot. Very nice boot with a awesome protection, quite comfy....but it use to shit me to tears when walking in them as they sneak and creak every step. then I tried a mates set of Forma's.. instant comfort too, no wearing in etc needed. less protection yes but i aint going out racing the Dakar. I will often wear my SIDIs.. esp when Im out in the forrests. like anything.. KTM/BMW/...... Arai/Shoei... it all comes down to personal preference really... (and $$$$ sometimes) :thumbup1: |
I just sold my set of Scouts in favor of another set of my favorite ADV boots
http://www.dualsportbc.com/photogall...0/IMG_3168.JPG The scouts were OK, but I hardly ever used them for the fact that they are not great for walking in... http://www.dualsportbc.com/photogall...0/IMG_3217.JPG I've very much settled on these Miendl boots for all my riding and bought a replacement pair.. They are expensive, running about $500 a pair, but this one boot style covers my riding, long distance hiking and mountain trekking.. With the high top design the shin guards slip right behind to offer protection from the toe right up past the knee which I use if my plans are to ride gnarly terrain... The lower part of the boot has a rubber rand and very good ankle support that actually offers more foot protection than my Scout boots did... A full blown MX boot will offer more foot protection than any other boot type but may also transfer the lower leg damage from a twisting injury that would normally happen with a lesser boot further up the leg... |
I'm quite happy with my TCX Track Evo boots, after a couple months having them. Italian design, made in Romania.
Most comfortable Enduro boot I've used. All day walking around comfort combined with very good protection. Foot box is stiff enough and leather thick enough to offer good protection in all but most severe conditions. Good stiff toe box, reinforced heal, excellent tread for grip on pegs. Very easy adjust buckles. All that and still comfy for walking. No problem shifting at all ... no adjustment to shift lever on any bike ridden so far. (DR650, 1050 Tiger, Honda 230, DRZ400) Not yet tested in rain. They can be a bit warm on 32C days but should be fabulous in Winter cold. Down sides? Not many. Slim fit jeans (Levi 501) cannot be pulled over boot. So use "over the boot" pants and you're good. Or tuck in pants and knee pads. All good. But the walking comfort is what I like best. You totally forget you're wearing boots! Not a bad price now but will go down when put on sale ... probably happen some time this Summer. MC Gear is good outfit if shopping in USA.

Forma Adv Boots
I got mine the other day, they were waiting for me when I got back from Thailand.
Worn then a couple of time now and they are very comfy. Also great for waking about in. Chuffed with the purchase https://farm1.staticflickr.com/390/1...558cc828_b.jpgIMG_0412 by SW Capell, on Flickr Wayne |

The Forma's look GOOD!
Here's my TCX Evo Track's after a recent 3 day off road ride. Just a bit of mud/dirt. So comfortable. Not quite a tough as the Forma but generally good protection for light dual sport/travel. The Malius pucks are there but you can't really see them. These are SUPER LIGHT weight. I like the Girly Brown ones myself! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-y...2/P1000516.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C...2/P1000517.JPG |
