Forma Terra EVO X boot review, part 2

This is the second part of a review I did eight months ago. I tell you what I did to break them in and how I feel about these boots.

Good review! Thanks for the info! Long time Harley rider here, ordered my new 2022 Ktm 390 adventure yesterday! Thank you sir!

I have the Forma ADV low and I have to do the same thing with shifters on all my bikes. I move my foot back out from under the shifter if I don't anticipate shifting.

No issues.

Solid review, but at first I thought your phone was ringing. Sorry but that soundtrack is very distracting, and your review is good so it doesn't need any music at all

Hello, I just received these boots yesterday. I’m a long time street rider, although I did have a V-Strom 650 for many years. I haven’t used them outside the house yet but this is my initial impression: in comparison to my old Sidi street boots these will take some getting used to. They are heavy, clunky, hot and very stiff. I tried to get my toe under the shifter and it was very difficult. So I loosened up the buckles as much as possible and it may be okay, but still difficult. I’ve read there is no room to move the shifter up (and still function) on the new KLR650 but I will try. The boots are very sturdy and light-years ahead of my old boots in terms of safety. I wear a size 9.5 US, and the size 43 fit perfect, with lots of room for my toes to move up and down. My biggest concern is they will be too hot, my socks were damp after wearing them for less than an hour in the house. And, I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area so…hmm.

If its the plastic thats squeeking try using a silicone spray/lubricant

Hope these boots are still treating you well! Any updates on waterproofness?

Thanks for the review!
I just got my first bike(honda crf 250l) and looking for a pair of boots. I read too many confusing stuff and cant decide if i should go for a pair of mx boots like the forma terrain tx enduro for more protection, or this(the terra evo x) will be more than enough for dual sport driving. Do you think the terra evo x would save my ankle if the bike falls on it?

I have these now, couple weeks. I have found that the height from base of sole to top of toe box is rather large and it make it difficult to get my toe under the shift lever, even I have raised the shift lever on my BMW F 850 GSA as high as practical. And I sometimes am unable to engage next gear up. I have started using the lip of the sole to engage the shifter as opposed to the top of toe box.

Good looking boots. I'm eyeing a pair of these, but also considering Alpinestar Toucans, both recommended by Atomic. I'm more on-road riding than you from the looks of it. Any reason they couldn't be used for a mix of road/dirt touring?
Do the boots feel pretty warm?

[sharkbite]

Had the toe box softened up at all over time? I like the boots but walking is awkward and hoping the toes might flex more with time.

So how were the Terra Evo-X Dry on the CBDR trip?

[josephschultz]

Why not just adjust shifter? problem solved it's what I've done on all my bikes, general bike setup for yourself

Good, relevant review. Your background music is very distracting and a no go!.
