Forma Terra Waterproof Boots
“If you are adventuring further away from paved and well maintained dirt roads, your feet will need more protection than traditional adventure-touring boots. The Forma Terra’s ‘Ideal welt’ sole has increased rigidity for a higher level of off-road protection, and also provides more durability for long distance stand-up riding on technical trails. Heels and toes get external plastic for tougher impact absorption and protection. The main boot structure is produced in oiled full-grain leather to allow for maximum flexibility and long-distance comfort. The Terra boots are an excellent waterproof dual-sport option if you favor the dirt.”

Sizing Information
We tried on a selection of Forma boots here in the office and found the length to be about right. The width on the boots is a touch more wide than most other brands we carry. Alpinestars and TCX tend to be the most wide, but these might even be a touch wider. I’d say they are a D to E and might even work for somebody with a slightly wider foot (but don’t get carried away and think they are wide enough for a person needing a EEE or wider). So my advice would be to use the chart below to choose a size based upon your US shoe size.
Forma also publishes the length of the boot insole for each Euro size they offer. Their advice is to choose a size that is about 3/4” shorter than the internal insole. They don’t offer advice on how to measure length… I guess you’d plant your foot on a ruler? Anyway, consider their insole length advice as a “second opinion”. Maybe you’ll find it reassuring if it matches your size choice based on street shoe size or, maybe it could be a tie breaker if you are undecided between two sizes.
