【FORMA】ADVENTURE Review
Satisfied with the construction that is as good as authentic off-road boots
I own an XTZ750 SUPERTENERE and a SEROW and use it exclusively for touring and forest road driving on the SEROW.
When I get off the motorcycle and walk around during camping tours, I can easily do so because of the flexibility of the ankles. I can bend and stretch my ankles well, especially when going up and down stairs.
I think the specs are satisfactory compared to full-fledged off-road boots in terms of the sense of security that the ankles are protected when driving on forest roads, and in terms of bruising countermeasures in the event of a fall. The only complaint I have is that the waterproof performance doesn't seem to last very long, so I would recommend using a waterproof spray or something similar as soon as possible. I think the size should be one size larger than usual. I have purchased AdventureLow in the past, but I trusted the review that said they were built large, so I went with One sizeSmall. I could not wear the small size at all. I bought the One sizeLarge size this time because I was reminded of that time, and it was just the right size.

Oh no... Better than expected.
Used for rough roads, etc. on AdventureMotorcycle.
I had been getting foot pain from the narrow width of GAERNE and other shoes, but FORMA's fit me quite well. The most important thing to remember is that the shoes are made to be worn with a lot of care and attention.
Waterproof performance is also fine. I splashed it many times and it did not flood. Good grief, that's a whole lot better than the Boots I've had in the past, right?
If I had to raise one thing, I would say that it is softer than OffBoots that you can move your ankles from the start, so I would just be careful about that. I think it is more defensible than regular Boots.
I'm not sure if the slipperiness is verified enough, so I'll call it a HuTwo.

Easy to move the legs and nice Size feel.
My normal shoes are 26cm, but I bought the 27cm ones after trying them on.
Combined with medium-heavy socks for mountaineering, the Size is just right for both width and toe.
I use it during forest road touring.
I don't feel Stress when I walk.
It can be operated without raising the Shift Pedal position.
I fell once and fell dragging the outside of Boots.
At that time, Buckle's Parts cracked.
I guess this area is plastic, but it was not a problem for Buckle's function.

Also working for long distance touring
Until now I used mountaineering shoes, but I hoped for a high sense of security at off-road and purchased. Imprement after running about 5000 km.
Even if I wear it for about 8 to 9 hours at a Touring all day, there is no pain in the toes, the instep of the foot, and almost no steaming.
While I was pouring, I had about a half hour driving, but I never got inundated.
Immediately after wearing it for the first time, the leather was hard, but became familiar with one day trip and became free of foot.
Although Buckle is a plastic, it has a bit of durability but it is a Boots with a high aptitude for Touring applications and I am very happy.
