Racing boots more comfortable than expected
I was looking for a new pair of racing boots for my 3-year old FORMA ICE PRO due to a tear on the instep side of my ankle and excessive wear of the toe slider, when I found FORMA's new model racing boots, PHANTOM, and decided to purchase them.
Compared to ICE PRO, the design is more modern and the Slider uses Titanium. It is good that the design has been updated considerably.
The fit is now semiInnerBootsType, and the band that was characteristic of ICE PRO is no longer present, eliminating the risk of snagging.
When actually worn, the semiInnerBoots have a Fit feeling even without tightening the Shoelace, and when tightened, the ankle fits quite securely.
I wonder if the last size was also adjusted for Japanese people. The width is also wider than I expected, and although the ball of the thumb is 25cm in circumference, it is not tight at all.
As for the size, you don't have to worry about the width, so the same size as Sneakers may be fine.
The only drawback is that the Side fastener opening is narrow and the Tab width is narrow, making it difficult to raise the fastener, but I think this can be worked out once you get used to it, so I don't think it will be that much of a problem.
Protection from the Heel of the New Model seems to be quite effective against twisting with the feeling that the ankle is tightly supported, and since there are no moving parts, up-and-down movement can be done Smoothly. However, since extreme up and down movement is also restricted here, there is a strong sense of security.
The gait is also fine, although the forward tilt from the toes to the toes area makes it feel a bit habitual, despite the restricted ankle motion.
This time Punching." the following FLOW." So the question is how cold it will be when winter comes.

Surprisingly easy to walk
I ride a naked type on road motorcycle and was looking for a pair of short boots with a buckle stop and good protection for walking around on touring.
Based on the impressions on the Net, I ordered the same size as my regular shoes, which are loose-fitting, and they were perfect.
If you normally wear tight-fitting shoes, it may be better to go up 1 size.
Since Protector is in Balibali, I wondered if it would be quite stiff until I got used to it. I thought it would be quite stiff until I got used to it, but the back-and-forth motion of the ankle was surprisingly soft, and I was relieved to find that it was much easier to walk than it looked.
The sole is firm with shank and quite hard.
It is a Manufacturer in Italy, but the country of manufacture was Lou Mania.
Compared to FOR JAPAN MODEL MANUFACTURER products, some of the details are a little rough, but in general, the quality is high, the manufacturing is good, and we are satisfied with the product.

For reference in size selection
This is a replacement from SIDI, which has been in use at Circuit for two generations.
SmallEngine Displacement VolumeClass, so it did not fit in with the Protector's extravagant MODEL, and this was the next candidate.
The size was a problem for me when I purchased it, but there was little information and I was not sure which size to choose since it had a reputation for being narrow on the Internet, but I chose the 41 size.
My normal shoes are 25.5-26,. When I was using SIDI shoes, they were 41 size and tight overall, and the toes were narrow and sometimes hurt my small toes. Also, for some reason, the upper part of my ankles seemed to hit, and it took me a while to get used to that part in both generations.
Fit is slightly looser than SIDI's 41 Size. The width of the toes is also snug (with room to spare if compared to SIDI). The shoes feel lighter than SIDI's. This is not so much because of the weight, but because of all the controls (including walking). I think the size selection is a little bit better for everyday wear, about the size of Loose fit.
One thing I noticed is that when the side fastener is raised, it catches at the ankle area. This is a problem with BootsSingle Body with Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) I wonder if it is a quirk on the part of the product since it is caught in the same part in both cases. I think it is a quirk of the product side.
I had a hard time choosing the size, but I am satisfied with the Large size.

Great ankle protection and ease of movement.
I got excited for XB12R only, because it's a rare motorcycle and I don't do circuit running, so I decided to use this color to coordinate with rsThailand's gmxArrowJacket Neon yellow and gmxLeather pants for public roads.:Yellow Accent and, after getting off the motorcycle, I chose the forma that is easy to walk, because the forma is quite Tight width, 26.5cm 3ESize we are just right in 43Size.
The Sole is in great shape for footpeg maneuverability and the Grip is perfect.
The ankle is also TIGHTLY secure laterally.

It was the perfect balance for my commute.
I chose these lightweight, moderately protective Boots for my commute.
As usual, I chose the large-gauge forma because the width is unusually narrow, so it's a little off to the front and back, but since it's for commuting to work by Scooter, I sometimes wear heavy socks in winter, so I prefer it loose.
This is the best ankle protection of all the entry-level racing boots.:The PlasticFrame is attached to prevent the ankle from twisting to some extent.
What is surprising is the durability of Sole.
Other companies' racing boots and on road boots are out of Sole after about a year, but these have relatively little wear and tear? I'm glad I bought them.

For those who do not need a heavy protector
Material:One of the few options nowadays for Boots that doesn't require a PlasticHard protector. I like the shape of these boots. The bottom of the shoe is gently chamfered so that there is no weird snagging. View detail
