Can't wait for the full comparison with the best Adv boots. Thanks for putting this together!
And more importantly, looking forward to the comparison video between the options you had mentioned. When is it coming out? Will literally save the community in making the right purchase...
Can't wait for the comparison video
Most comfortable ADV boot I’ve had thus far. Sidi adv GoreTex were too tight in the calf, Forma adv was too uncomfortable, The Sidi Crossfire was too stiff and I had no feel for the shifter and rear brake in the toe box
Hi Brian. Nice review. (As with all of them) Did you ever do that x4 high end Adventure boot comparison you mentioned in this video? My current new boot selection has three of those four on the list. Thanks.
Your gear video's are great, thanks for that! I tried to find the Dakar / Terra / Adventure / Toucan comparison video, did you ever get to creating that?
We need a comparison between these ones and the Gaerne Dakars goretex! We need to know witch one is the best!
Could you compare with Forma Terra Evo Dry? Which one youd recommend?
Thank you for the video
Are these boots available in black?
Found my next boots.
I would buy these boots if they had a fully lugged sole. That nearly smooth surface on the inside edge is exactly where I want traction when I put my foot down on loose surface or on slippery pavement.
Thanks for the comment, understand what you mean. There are a couple models that match what you are describing. The Sidi Adventure is lugged completely, and the Alpinestars Corozal and Forma Terra Evo Dry still have lugging in that area:

Hope that helps.
Any thoughts on the Daytona Trans TourMan? Besides the price. There are others, not many priced higher.
Any insight on a wide and roomy toe box (height wise) boot? I tried a forma evo and found the height of the toe box wasn't a good fit. Width of the boot and at the calf.was ok. Could have been bigger. Thanks!
Hi Brian! Brilliant review and thanks for the insights. Your thoughts on Sidi Adv 2 Vs Gaerne Dakar? Which one is better for long touring, occasional offroading and walking around during touring.
Hi, I am also interested in this comparison, has anyone tried both?
Hi! I'm in the same choice right now. Have you decided on one of the two? Any feedback? Thanks!
I was in the same position, so I ordered both (from a different webshop) for the sake of comparison. Both in the size 45 fit me very well but the Sidis are quite a bit narrower, which wasn't a problem for me personally as I have relatively narrow feet. Right out of the box the Dakars felt a bit more comfortable because of the wider footbed and thicker padding in the shaft and around the ankle. Sidis rubbed against my ankle more than Dakars. I also liked thinner and wider front part of the sole better on the Dakars; this gives me a more planted feeling when standing on the ground but I would be more happy to see a fully lugged sole on the Dakars. In terms of protection Sidis do have a more protective toe box, while the heels and ankles felt more protective on the Dakars, which are also quite a bit harder to squeeze around the ankle and the front part of the heel area. The rear part of the heel is equally hard on both. The area on the outside of the foot does have additional plastic coverage on Sidis which makes it more rigid than Dakars. Shin protection feels more sturdy on Dakars but the shaft of Sidi sat more snugly around my relatively thin calves which I liked; Dakars have more room in this area. If you add everything up from the protection point of view, I think both boots score the same. And last but not least, Dakars have a lower toe box (around 10mm) which I prefer because it makes shifting gears easier. All in all, it was a very tough choice between these two. I've spent 3 hours comparing both and scratching my head but finally chose the Dakars, mainly because of slightly more comfort (very personal), materials (leather vs microfiber: online research showed that microfiber is actually more durable than leather but I'm old school), stitched soles and finally the lower toe box. Hope this helps.
@@Just_2_Wheelz Thank you so much brother... Such a fantastic write up, review and guide....
@@dudefromcbee Glad I could help :)
So, not good if you have narrow to average width foot? Mostly for wide footed riders? Thanks for your review!
As I say in the video, they will work well for narrow or wide feet.
How do you recommend drying these out if water gets inside? Also are these or the Forma Terra Evo X more protective?
Basically, airflow. Prop the top of the boot open, lay them on the floor on their side in front of a fan, and let it run for a while. Do NOT use heat.
I wear a 44 European in forma adventure. I like the wider fit but a little more wide could be nice. Would these be good in 44?
You will be the 10/44.5 in these.
When do you expect to get a new shipment of Gaerne Dakar boots in?
May.
in your opinion, is this boot non so hot in summer? i mean, i know that it can't be a flip flop, but compared to other adventure boots, is it "fresh"?
It is very difficult to measure freshness. However it is reasonable to say they are not as hot as waterproof adventure boots.
Any difference between these and the Fastback Enduro in toe box width?
Very similar in our opinion.
