Which adventure boots?

[DeanoBeano]

I'm looking at buying my first pair of adventure boots. I've been using Daytona touring motorcycle boots for the past few years, but feel that I need something a bit more robust now.

Any recommendations please?

Sidi Adventure GTX.

+1 to the SIDI

Forma Adventure Boots, I have the short version. Very comfortable!

+1 Sidi Adv

Need effort to break in but well worth it.

Mine are coming up 7 years old - very comfy and feet always dry.

Sidi are one of the best +1

Have a look at the Alpinestar Toucan's - still pleased with mine after a year's use

Lots of protection but very comfortable and take very little breaking in. Only issue I have is they have a tendency to squeak when walking in them.

Put around 18K miles on my Sidi Adventures, needed a resole at about 15K miles which was carried out by a local cobbler using Vibram? Commando soles. The upper leather is looking a little worn but still holding up with no issues baring the resole. They seem to just do the job asked of them rain or shine.

+1 for the Forma, came top in a fairly recent Ride Mag test

Another vote for the Sidi from me,I think most people find that a size larger than normal is required

Another vote for the Forma boots from me. Very happy with mine.

Got both sidi and forma..... Sidi are watertight, comfortable on and off the bike but they squeak like buggery when walking around and it's so bloody annoying..... Used in all climates for 40000 miles.
Forma are an excellent boot....waterproof, a tighter fit than the sidi but they do loosen up...I find I only need a normal light sock under the forma as they are so warm...
Pay ya money, take ya pick...... Forma are much cheaper.....if I was in a position where my leg was in danger I would prefer the sidi....

I squirted some lithium grease between the plastic buckles and the leather and the squeaks went away. Not sure where they went though!

Definitely the Sidis I am at Cairns airport awaiting my long flight home after touring up the eastvcoast from Sydney for nearly four weeks. Torrential rain and floods most of the time. Sidis dry as a bone inside. Superb

Altberg Hoggs. Ride in them all day and then walk in them all evening. Waterproof and no annoying squeaks. First boots that have been comfortable from the off.

Another vote for sidi I have a pair and imo really strong boots

You can't beat Daytonas so I would avoid wasting your money

Daytona are good boots I know but if you have an off as I did in a pair the ankle protection is not as good as the sidi I broak both my ankles in Daytona boots

Right

You can beat Daytonas so I would avoid wasting your money and buy something for half the price that are just as good

Fixed for ya.

Daytonas are way overpriced!

Got rid of mine after a year as they leaked! Had TCX infinity for last decade but recently bought a pair of the Formas in the fastest brown colour and I'm very impressed. Very comfy,well made and 100% water proof. No wonder they regularly beat more expensive boots in tests!!
