Comfortable Dual-sport Boots: Forma Terra [Review]
- 9 years ago
Need a pair of boots to get you around the world or just to work? Look no further than the Terra boots by Forma.
New to me only a few weeks ago, I've now put these boots through their paces. Multiple trips to work through a 2,000' mountain pass, the long way home on some challenging forest service road, adventure touring in the national forest with stream crossings, and digging my bike out of the dirt in 85 degree weather. You name it and I've probably done it in these boots and they still look almost brand new. Through all this they somehow actually still smell new.
Forma was kind enough to drop a DRYTEX waterproof lining in these boots that extends from the toe box all the way up the boot to just shy of the top buckle. Scouting those stream crossings has become much easier when my feet stay dry.
Included are metal toe caps if you're so inclined to use them.
My street shoe size is normally 11 but I opted to go larger to 12 US / 46 Euro for the extra room.
A $279 retail price point feels about right for years of abuse and comfort.
