Yeah... the Forma Adventure boot! Been using it over a year now and they have been put through everything from -5 to +105 temps, deep slushy/thick/clay muds, snow, slush, rivers, dirt, sand, etc. My feet are always cool, warm, dry and well protected. Might want to actually try a set sometime.

I’ve worn the Corozals all 2020-21 winter in England as a Motorcycle Courier, Drystar or Goretex, no difference, this was a very wet winter, my feet stayed bone dry, these Alpinestars Drystar Corozals are the best boot I’ve ever had, also extremely comfortable and stylish, for a motorcycle boot.

Had a very experienced rider and bike gear store owner recommend corozal to me just yesterday.

Using the Astar Corozal for a bit more than a year now I can only agree. They are so good in quality, functional, comfortable and protective during rides. Just a bit too stiff for longer walking. So much better bang for the buck than all the others I tried.

Out of those you showed, the Toucan wins for sure. 2019 and still holds true. Thanks.

Im just watching Ryans vids just for the hell of it. You rock Ryan !

that was very enjoyable to watch, keep making them

I was excited when you suggested that an ADV boot should be comfortable enough to walk around in. I have an old pair of Alpine Stars Tech 3’s. Although they provide lots of protection and enough support that you can stand on the pegs all day, they are not great for walking around, they are so rigid that it is hard to shift and you get little feel from the brake lever, and they are useless in the wet. I am looking for something new. Thanks for doing this.

Another awesome video from our friends up north!

Thanx Ryan .Another great vid

Solid review as is your custom and I thank you for it!

I started off with a pair of cheap Cortech Accelarator XC, but they turned out to be too "soft" and didnt offer enough support, particularly when standing on the pegs. Not too bad for walking, and they make for a pretty good set of winter touring boots. After some research, I decided on the Toucans. Yes, they are huge, heavy, they squeak like an angry pig, and are hard to walk around in, but the support is outstanding. Have not experienced any rain or water exposure with them (SoCal) , but the GoreTex is excellent at wicking away sweat and help make the boots surprisingly comfortable in hot weather. I bought mine directly from an Italian dealer and including postage and duty, paid about 65% of what they sell for here in the US.

This video needs a 2022 update, thank Ryan.

Yep agree 100%. I’ve tried ‘em all and the Toucan is head and shoulders above the rest. Nice review FortNine

Great review! Earned my subscription. FWIW, my Toucans are probably my favorite part of my riding gear. Comfortable all year long. They'll definitely be replaced with another pair.

bought today the Alpinestars Toucan thanks to your video it was much easyer for me to decide :-)

Great video as always. Be good to know which trousers can fit over the top of which boot (big test I know)

yaa its very very helpful thank you . 🙏

Hey brother!! Just a quick note to say THANK YOU for your review on the best boots for adventure riding. At the outset of your video you gave high praise to your trusty pair of Icon Patrol Boots. Well, as you know (and said), Icon discontinued the Patrol Boot -- and the replacement isn't as good. Well, I am very happy to say that after an exhaustive search, I found the last pair of Icon Patrol Boots in the world!! LOL!! (Found mine at an online shop in Europe.) I LOVE THESE BOOTS!!! And I wanted to send you a short note to say THANK YOU!!! This pair of boots are comfortable, strong -- and are exactly what I have been looking for!! YOU ROCK!!!! Cheers!

I own a pair of Forma ADV Tourer - a little less tough, but very comfy, good looking and fits all kinds of bikes, I can recommend it with all my heart. But, my next choice will be the Adventure, because it's a bit higher. ;)

Good Video. You sold me on the Toucan :)

I have a pair or Drystar Belize ( the smaller corozal) very comfortable and great to walk in once you break them in.

This should be a yearly series.

Your video is highly appreciated. Using your opinions as basis for my shoe hunting :)

Those AS Toucans sound, and look good. On my wishlist.

I went with a closeout deal on the Roam 2. They are fantastic and so easy to get on and off that there’s never an excuse for me to not wear them. But I do want to get something heavier duty for trail riding on my WR250R. The Corozols seem like they would provide a bit more protection and bridge that gap without being a full out motocross boot.

Another for Forma's , had mine for years thousands of miles of adventure and no issues, just so comfy, waterproof & great protection.

Another selling point for the toucan which pulled me in is the fact that you can get them re-soled. This is not possible on the corozal. But walking on them does make you look a bit of a fool.

Ditto on the Icon Patrol. The second generation is like a ski boot. First gen was great.

Corozal it is, stoked to be picking up a used drz400 soon. Need good protection for a noob.

Yeah, try looking into StylMartin Italian. bought the Navajo full size boot.

Hi Ryan, I did compare yesterday while shopping the Sidi Adv gore Tex 2 vs Alpinestar Toucan. And the Toucan highlights in lightweight, comfort and sole grip. They were almost $70 more expensive but in my opinion they are really the best if you want a comfortable, long trip boot. Thanks for your opinion.

What are your thoughts on the icon patrol 2 boots? Would love to see a review on them!

Awesome video Dang! The boot links only work in Canada!

I just ordered the TCX RS2 as my Competzione RS are worn out.

I started looking at something like the corozal, G-adventure, Sidi adventure and the Toucan aswell... i tried on the corozal and found it waaay too big and lumpy, the sidi was super nice and i almost ended up buying it Then i tried the Daytona Roadstar and decided to skimp a little on safety for the reasons you mensioned in the beginning of the video - after all i'm on a transalp, not a motocross bike

What is the equivalent of the Corazol boot for wide feet? The European make I find wide enough to fit me is Forma. Thanks in advance.

Would you consider doing a review on the Icon Raiden DKR boots?

I usually just wear an old pair of moto boots and deal with the issues of off bike movement . It probably would be nice to try a pair of the adventure boots.

Does it still make sense to go for a toucan over a Tcx Baja GTX or maybe a forma Adv Hdry ? & yes btw, the toucans can be used with a MX pants & we can enjoy some dual sport riding in them ? It won’t look weird with a MX pant ??

ZX9RDan 4 year ago Asked if you, kindly, consider re-making this for 2020... I would love to hear your new thoughts on this with an upgraded product line. Thank you! Cheers from the road in sunny TEXAS!

One of the things that Gaerne wanted to do with the G-Adventures was keep the number of panels used in the boot construction down to a minimum. Which is why the inside of the boot doesn't feature much of the paneling you see on other brands. Their reasoning behind this is somewhat simple I guess. The idea is, the fewer leather panels on the boot, the better it conforms to your foot thus providing a better fit. This makes sense If you are doing some Adventure riding that is more leisure oriented and not trail pounding, lets get lost in the sticks, middle of nowhere ride. Which would also explain the lack of ankle or heel reinforcement. Not to mention, in Europe there are a lot of gloriously smooth roads and towns are very close together; more-so than in Canada or the U.S. both of which have massive expanses of rough, sparsely habited terrain between two densely populated coasts. I just don't see an Italian Adventure rider spending as much time off-road due to a lack thereof as an Adventure rider living in North America. Anywho, thats my 2 cents. I thoroughly enjoy the time, thought and efforts you put in to your channel. Keep on keeping on.

bmw all around boot waterproof is a super light adv boot, love them. getting the last pair of size 45 venture model bmw heavy duty boot for more protection in loaded falls.. unfortunately my dealer searched usa/germany and could not get a pair... found last pair in canada tho feeling lucky.

If you want a pair of motorcycle boots to hike in then check out Altberg Hogg boots. They are made in England and are like a military boot that’s been uprated to use on a motorcycle.

Fast forward to 2022. Check out the Forma Adventure or it’s GTX brother. I think you’ll agree.

Do you have any recommendations for a larger shoe size? Everywhere I look I can only find them up to a size 13 and my shoe size is 14.

Hi Ryan just want to ask you what do you think about the Sidi Armada? Also if you have a review on Sidi 2 Adventure kindly send me the link. Thankyou.

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to toss a pair of jogging/hiking shoes on when you get to your location? I feel like having a happy medium takes away from the two different shoe requirements.

Are the patrol boots outdated?Should I go for them if I get them.Anyobe have other suggestions?

Time for an update!

Mate I love your reviews many properly the most honest around ,but your ADV boot review was lite on , what about the Forma ADV boot ? its great to walk in and durable I owned mine for about 6 years ( before they became popular ) they are extremely comfortable as well.

I would pick those last 2 boots

Always enjoy your videos. When adventuring even with a light weight setup, right next to my water jug is a pair of light weight hikers, currently Adidas Terrex AX2R's barely a pound for the pair , often on sale for $60 bucks or less. I would never walk any significant distance in my heavy MX Boots. I would never sacrifice protection for a better riding boot to walk in and I would never pay over $300. FYI I am now 3 paydays away from purchasing a Vstrom 1000XT Adventure in the white and blue 2019, Jelly?

2022 update: Did a bit of research June/2022 and found that with the BMW Venture now sold out (a very few less common sizes are available at dealers as of June/2022 (46 and up), Alpinestars Toucan is probably the next best ADV trip boot, IMO. BMW Gravel is probably adequate for moderate trips, and is still available. Sidi, Gaerne make good Gore tex options (I am guessing Gaerne is good). Most mfg are cheap, don't last long and even Forma (supposedly makes BMW boot) are often not as good. Definitely buy the top model you can find, the $300 versions just leak, fall apart, etc. from the wide reading and conversations I've had in 2022. $300 options are possibly fine for a single trip, but many do leak from day one or day three. 1 BMW Venture (If available in your size before they sell out completely. They stopped making them due to labor issues). 2 Alpinestars Toucan/ possibly Gaerne waterproof $400 boot 3 possibly BMW Gravel/ Klim (cheaply made boot, costly) 4 $300 waterproof boots. -Good luck, and enjoy your miles!

Another thing that must be added about the Toucan is the sole is stitched on. That means a cobbler can replace them unlike the Corozal.

Any thoughts on the Icon Patrol 2 boot?

Hi! Awesome work! as always 😌 I am new to motorbikes and I looking for a high boot to cover my shinbone, as you mentioned in one of your reviews to cover for those high chance slow speed accidents. I will be riding a Naked bike and all the sports boots seem to me pretty low coevring the shin. Would it be suitable those alpine star Corozal or Toucan’s for a Naked bike? they seem bulky for shiffting?. Thank you so much for your very entertaining yet at same time so helpful work for entry level guys like me!🤓🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

@rowdy6274

Жыл бұрын

It's probably a little bit late now, but I wouldn't recommend the Corozals for a naked bike. I have a pair and they're great, but to me they're way to bulky to drive a non ADV bike comfortable. At least I had trouble shifting on my Cafe bike with EU size 47 Corozals.

The Toucan, great boot. Bought my pair on sale AU$320. Why so cheap? They were old stock at a Triumph Shop. They have Triumph Logos and the Union Jack incorporated into the boots. I don't ride a Trumpy but image doesn't matter to me. Pro's- Dry, tough, comfortable. Cons, (when swapping bikes with ya mates) can be difficult to get the boots thick toe under your mate's gear shift lever if they have sports bike setups.

Update on the Toucans I bought 10 months ago... Got them muddy wet in December...kept my fee dry and warm. Fell while riding my XR650L on forest road in February and broke my ankle...ortho said it was a twisting injury, dont know if boot contributed to injury, or prevented worse. Was off bikes for over four months. Have been using the Toucans exclusively as they are the only boot I have that supports my ankle enough to feel confident enough to ride again. This past week, I rode for four days in 110 heat and my feet were not as uncomfortable as I feared. Have been considering going to a full dirt boot to use when on the XR as I will take that bike into more challenging terrain than my GS...maybe a Tech 7 or Crossfire.

@stopper90004

Tech 7 is very comfortable and has saved me many times. Crossfires are much more expensive, and don't really offer much more protection.

Have you ever tried the "Alpinestars New Land Gore-Tex" on the terrain? They don't have all the long ankle protection like you have on the boots you've shown but they seem like a better compromise regarding adventure quality gear. What's your take on them for adv?

+RyanF9; I was going to rate you after the rating on my boots; the Gaerne G-adventure. But turns out I have to submit; you make good reviews Ryan. Bought them for my last adventure ride; 45 000km straight. They are really comfy out of the box, they WERE waterproof for most of the trip. I was able to keep them on even for hiking and the soles are really good for offroading (even if they are on the softer side if you ride on regular pegs). But... after less than one year, leather cracks badly, stiches are gone at many places, and they are as waterproof as a scott towel... Bigger problem, when I wrote directly to Gaerne to have some kind of warranty about the waterproofing (6 months later), they didn't even replied after 3 emails.... Anyways, keep up the good work, you're off a good start with your reviews. Kinda hope canada's motorcycle offers more stuff bike's specifics than this to properly hit on revzilla... & if you extend your adventure riding to Yukon & Alaska, be sure to tell me...

I'm liking the "dinosaur" as you call it for my needs, which is 100% on-road riding. I have been looking for a more protective leather and waterproof "cruiser" boot. Believe it or not, there are really not many boots that fit this category. And since the "dinosaur" can be had for less than $200 now, I may go for it. I also like the Forma Adventure, but it is $279. Do you have any other suggestions for me?

$200 for G-Adventures sounds like a steal. I'd go for it. Not many other waterproof ADV boots at that price point, and most of them are super rigid. The nice thing about G-Adventures is they're fairly soft and walkable. Of course there are a million waterproof touring boots you could use (like the Roam 2s in this video). But I'm guessing you're looking for a bit more protection? The style is also quite different on those. ~RyanF9

Thanks. Yeah, boots like the Roam and Tourmaster Solution are all too low and not protective enough for what I am looking for...and they all look like slippers to me ha ha - not a good look on a Harley. I need a beefy, tall, waterproof leather boot with great shin protection that is sub $200. I might have to go with that Gaerne - just wish it had better ankle protection and lost that silly right boot shift pad. The Gaerne G-Adv is full grain leather, tall, waterproof, beefy sole, no power ranger panels/doo dads/reflective accents, and a nice smooth inner panel instead of all that funky heat shield stuff, which I personally don't need. Can't seem to find anything better for my needs.

So... no love for the Patrol 2 boots? Why's that? Care to elaborate? I love them myself...

If I may - Goretex isn’t gonna keep you dry especially in the tropics. My Carlsbad jacket I used 2 months ago didn’t keep me dry. That’s ok but the pockets didn’t hold up too. Thankfully my passport was sealed in my trusted ziplock bag. FYI I’ve bought the Dainese Flux d dry jacket. I will get wet but I know I’ll dry up sooner.

I splurged for the Toucans and have been wearing them for a year now. They are great ADV boots in terms of form and functions stated in this video. They are comfortable to walk in but this flexibility may be an issue. One issue was after a low speed (~15mph) crash into a ditch they did not offer the level of protection that I had anticipated from such a boot. My foot did not get twisted around and stayed on the peg throughout the crash. I ended up with class 2-3 sprains of the ankle. I guess I can play the what if I was wearing a lesser boot, would I have been injured more? Anyways just wanted to put this out there.

honestly, I think when riding a 500 lb bike, off road [especially if rocky, think colorado] you have missed the mark, and that's protection. None of these boots ,aside from the last pair of Alpinestars,offer much protection. if you want to go hiking, then throw a pair of hiking shoes in your backpack or panniers. If you want protection, with comfort,at the very least I would look at Forma's adventure boots. I think protection over 'hike-ability' should be the objective. I would also recommend Sidi Crossfires TA or SA. With the SA you change soles between moto or Enduro. The SA's break in is only a few hours and you can walk without feeling like robotman. The Forma's are priced very reasonable and offer way more shin and foot protection than anything mentioned in your review. I get that these are your favs, but you probably haven't sustained a foot injury. I have, and trust me , protection is the name of the game. And if your buying an adventure bike ranging from 12k to 25k, then a 300 to 500 dollar boot is chump change. What's your foot worth? I enjoy your videos, just wanted to give a different opinion.

No SIDI Adventure 2?

I really love mine, but I probably wouldn't recommend them if he is rating them on dual purpose riding/hiking. They are very stiff when new and still pretty stiff once they "break in." They're also not light and your gait won't be the same as running shoes. On the plus side they are waterproof, very comfortable on the bike (or at your local Starbucks), and offer protection just shy of a motocross boot, while not being so restrictive that it looks like you're walking around with ski boots on. My only gripe about them is that the ankle hinges squeak after a while so I have to spray them with some lube.

I dont think anyone could get a 320llb motorcycle off them ...understand my leg was ALL THE WAY underneath being smashed in two places ...the ankle bone and further up side of the calf ....MAN was I wishing I had worn decent REAL offroad boots instead of army issue boots ....it was TORTURE for the 5 or 20 minutes (felt like an hour) before my faster riding brother came back ....he had finally stopped because he was tired and waited for me to catch up...finally when I didnt he came back down the road and got the damn thing off me ....never been more relieved to see him in my life! Well maybe I was more relieved to see him alive the following day after a head in high speed car crash almost killed him decades ago ....Anyway it CAN happen and it could kill you if you were alone in the middle of nowhere!
