The worst thing about a tall full moto boot is it's hard to get your pants down far enough to sit on the toilet! 😂. Seriously.

Wear the Sidi Adventure 2 Gore-Tex every day at work (Motor Cop) and love them. Is becoming the boot of choice for most Motor Units riding BMW’s. Like them so much, I even have a pair for personal use on my Adv bike.

[glenobrien]

If you are doing any serious ADV riding its best to wear Motocross boots, ADV boots just simply don't offer enough protection. I recommend SIDI Crossfire TA or Gaerne SG12/22

My fastback Enduro have been awesome and I can say they are comfortable. I'd rather wear them then my work shoes lol.

[Vahu]

i'm entering my 3rd season with the tech7....they are just the best

IMO marketing the Forma Adventures as off-road boots is akin to malpractice. I had two pairs and they’re not the least bit protective. Also, both of the pairs I owned failed at being waterproof within the one-year warranty period.

I bought the Tech 7 Drystars from you after waring Forma adventure boots. The Tech 7's once broken in are fantastic. I highly recommend them. They are bone dry and I can walk around with no problem. It's nice to know you have real protection

[lukefish]

Just picked up a new pair of tech 7 enduro DS from you for Christmas.
My second pair and couldn’t love them more.
Appreciate it
🏍️💨

I've never found a boot with an adequately sized toe box. These boots look like some real toe squeezes.

Fastback enduro is very comfortable, 3 days ago I walked around in long grass for 2 miles in them without a problem. On the bike they are comfortable in all conditions, never have my feet become wet.

The Gaerne Fastback Enduro paired with a pair of tall waterproof socks is combo get never let me down.
Every easy to dry, and not as hot as the waterproof boots on hot days where you don't need to wear the waterproof socks.

[jasonkirkpatrick]

Fastback Enduro have been awesome. very comfortable and run true to size. If you have large calves they are a bit tight but if you buckle before Velcro then they go on just fine.

[bradsanders]

Alpinestar makes an ADV boot called a Toucan, its between moto and ADV and is a very beefy boot. I found a set on ebay used, but look to be never worn...like they look and smell new. Goofy name for sure but they work really well. For actual thrashing on the 690 I use some Tech-7's.
The Toucan is a Gore-Tex boot, and runs well over 450.00 full price. I got a pair for 200.00.

The tread on some of these, the more tread the more chance you snag a foot if you have to slap a foot down. You would rather your boot slid fairly easily.

Love my Sidi adventure gortex boots. $300 delivered to my door in less than 2 weeks from italy.

[docwyte]

I’ve got the Sidi adventure boots and a pair of Sidi Crossfire’s. The adventure boots are great around town but the soles aren’t nearly stiff enough to stand up for any length of time. I consider them pavement and very light off road boots because of that. If I’m doing any real dirt riding I wear the Crossfires

[human]

I like the Alpinestar Toucan Gore -Tex.
Forma's offer only abrasion protection.
The SIDI do not offer much ankle twist protection as I can bend them in my hands.

[pinkiewerewolf]

I have a pair of older Sidi Adventure boots that I wear when I’m mostly on the road.
I started thinking about my age and upped the safety level with a pair of the AlpineStars Tech 7 Enduros, just like you have in the video. They are an awesome boot. A bit squeaky, but awesome.

[trekkydelirium-vroom]

Very similar to the Sidi Adventure boots, but even better, there is the Gaerne Dakar Gore-Tex.

[petersen_michael_]

And those af us that have a wider foot. We choose Forma Terra Evo instead of Sidi Adventure and Gaerne SG22 instead of The

[shannon]

The Gaerne fastback enduro is microfiber, NOT premium leather. The tag inside the boot with the size says microfiber.
