Forma Motorcycle Boots Adventure WP CE Approved

Product Information

At their price point, the Toucans go head to head with the Sidi Adventure 2. Both boots are great choices and won’t disappoint you, and your choice between the two will probably come down to which fit you better, but for me, the Toucans offered a little more protection and were slightly more comfortable. The Alpinestars Corozal boots implement Alpinestars’ famous Drystar waterproof inner membrane, which is one of my favorite non-Gore-Tex waterproof membranes in motorcycle gear.

For the last 10-years the company has its own independently owned production plants in Romania. This has permitted to make a “made in Europe” product with only the highest standard quality; naturally the production is followed and monitored by Italian personnel. Romania (part of EU) was chosen as during Communism, it featured the greatest production of soldier’s boots for the entire communist area, so skilled labour was easy to find.A perfect combination of adventure touring and street. The waterproof Drytex lining performs remarkably through heavy conditions. A technical multi-flex sole allows the right amount of flex for everyday walking, but at the same time, has controlled flex and crush resistance to exceed CE level 2 protection. In terms of protection, the Adventure boots perform OK, but not great. You get ankle inserts and a shin guard, though these are flimsy and they won’t be of much help if you drop your bike on your leg. The heel cup and toe box are similarly soft, which adds to comfort, but detracts from the overall foot protection on offer. In terms of stiffness and protection, the Toucans are exceptional, providing great support to both the foot and the ankle, and the chunky armour and reinforced toe cap offers reassuring impact resistance (the stiff toe saved my tootsies when someone dropped their Super Ténéré on my foot).

The Alpinestars Belize Drystar boots are also genuinely functional as hiking boots, so you can go for a hike or walk around forest areas in comfort with your Alpinestars Belize Drystar boots. This is something that many ADV riders absolutely love of these specific Alpinestars boots (yours truly included).

If you’d like a bit more protection in very-comfortable ADV boots though, then the previously-mentioned Forma Adventure Dry boots are the better choice.
