Forma Milano Dry Shoe ~ Sale

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 offers advice on choosing a size from your foot measurement. Here’s how:

1) Measure the overall length of your foot. Forma recommends placing your heel against a wall and measuring from the wall to the end of your longest toe.

2) Add 3/4” to the length of your foot

3) Using Forma’s sizing chart below, choose the smallest size boot with an insole measurement that is at least the length of your foot plus 3/4”.

Use Forma’s size selection method 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. FWIW, Forma’s advice didn’t work for me since I have relatively short toes. I wear a 45 (known from trying on) and this method put me in a 42.

The Milano Dry shoes are the waterproof version of Forma’s Milano Flow shoes, here is our two cents on the Flow version:

The Milano flow shoes from Forma are a pair of super casual motorcycle riding shoes that look good and are comfortable both on and off the bike. Overall construction is a highly-durable textile upper section, a Forma Moto specific sole, a padded tongue and extra comfort collar, an air mesh internal lining for extra comfort, as well as an anti-bacterial and replaceable footbed and soft polymer internal padding with memory foam to keep your feet comfortable and protected. Further protection is provided by the included gear shift pad, a lace closure with reinforced eyelets, internal TPU protection at the ankles, a reinforced heel and toe, as well as a dual flex shank with anti-shock EVA midsole. This combination of protection and materials earned a 1-1-1-2 CE rating.

The Milano flow shoes are considered a casual fit and have an average shoe weight of 1.6 pounds each. Only one color way is currently available and that is a beige, gray, ecru color way, btw it looks absolutely awesome in person. Also speaking of looks when I was trying them on my wife bought they were a normal pair of shoes and not at all Moto related, that should paint the picture of how comfortable and casual they look. At the time of this writeup, the Milano Flow boots retail for $139.00 which I think is more than fair value for them. Keep in mind that the Milano Flow shoes CE rating is a 1-1-1-2, don’t get me wrong, they are still CE rated, meaning they are protective, and leaps and bounds better than your normal shoes, but if you were looking for top of the line safety, the Milano were not designed for that, they were designed with more comfort and casual looks in mind.

With that said, again the looks are the main thing here, the shoes definitely have a great look and style, additionally the bottom of the shoe is designed to look dirty while new, meaning that you are less likely to notice the scuff marks and dirt marks that you earn while out riding. Overall really solid and I would recommend checking them out if that is the style of shoe you are going for. One last thing, the Milano, unlike the Forma City shoes, the Milano have a pull tab on the back and it makes getting in and out so much easier.

I want to point out real quick that previously my experience with Forma wasn’t as extensive as some of the other brands that I would consider myself somewhat of an expert in, so I sat down and checked out a good number of Forma boots and shoes in a row, all of different styles and types, and shoe after shoe, boot after boot, I was impressed, it was like Forma just couldn’t miss. I’m quickly familiarizing myself more and more with this brand and I have to say they are quickly rising up my list of favorite boot/shoe brands. Really great work here, and if you are not familiar with them yet, I highly recommend checking them out! :: Damir 8/22/24
