We love gear and as we ride more and more we tend to stick with what we think works. When it comes to boots, we wear Alpinestars Scouts and they have been great to us in all-weather.
Having said that we are never close minded to new gear that comes out. I have been eye balling these boots for a while and may in the end try them out as our Scouts start to wear. If anyone has wears the Forma ADV boot please feel free to let us know who you like or dislike them. Especially focusing on the H20 proofness and comfort.

The Forma Adventure Boots are one of our favorite Adventure Touring and Dual Sport boots. Adventures have more support at the ankle, and are taller than other ADV boots we have, at 13.25″. Yet, they are softer in the midsole (the exact opposite of the Gaerne Balance Oiled…), and lighter in weight (2.86 lbs for size 11s) and thus also easy to walk in. They are super comfortable, with a nice, wide fit.
Details…..Adventures have plastic toe protectors on BOTH sides.Buckles are easy to use, even with gear on. They will accept MX style knee / shin guards.
Soles are molded on, and are MUCH grippier than most ADV boots, easier to walk on wet stuff, etc. Under pants, they almost look like hiking boots. Most important, they are made in Europe, and their quality reflects this.FIT: As always, we recommend you survey 3 – 4 pairs of your casual, athletic, or hiking shoes (not moto boots) for the EU SIZE (not US size, and get an average. Forma Adventures run wide, but not long.Note: We have a video review of these on the “Videos” tab just above this. But here is part 2:
