Forma Adventure Dry boots in black

The Forma Adventure Dry is a classic, tall adventure boot. So, first question, what is an adventure boot? Well it’s a boot designed for the adventure bike rider who is going to be spending some, but probably not all, of his time off road. If you are riding seriously off-road, tackling hardcore terrain, you might be better off with a proper, plastic motocross boot. The Adventure Dry is a pretty tough and rugged boot, but it treads a fine line between the road and the rough stuff. A touring boot might conceivably be more comfortable, but a boot like this will be more protective. And, of course, a boot like this will look much better on an adventure bike.

The boot is made from a full-grain, oiled leather. It has a rugged sole that is going to provide grip on even the most unreliable of terrain. The boot fastens by means of three, adjustable, buckle straps. The top of the shaft can be tightened by means of a Velcro flap.

For comfort you get padded, concertina banding in the heel, in the upper calf region, and in the forefoot. There’s a hard, TPU protector on the shin, and another one  as a gearchange pad. There are protective pucks in the ankles. And you get some elasticated shirring at the top of the shaft for a bit of extra comfort as you lean into the boot.

The boot has a Drytex lining, so this is certainly going to be a waterproof boot. It also has a changeable, anti-shock, inner sole.
