Good simple comfortable boot
Seem well made; I like the plain no frills style. I bought them because I am required to wear black shoes at work and these fit the bill nicely. The only negative is that the ankle bone protection disc sits behind my ankle, not on it. Their designer hasn't left enough room in the design to shift it forward to sit on the ankle bone. Not a problem for what I use them for

I would purchase again.
I like them a lot. Wedge (flat) soles work well for me. I have the textile version too for hot weather riding. If they didn't have removable insoles they would have been returned. I have to add SuperFeet insoles to most of my footwear to increase comfort. I purchased them for cold weather riding since I don't ride in the rain if I can avoid it and the textile version flowed too much air for winter riding.

A lot smaller than anticipated
Run way too small. 11 felt like a 10. Runs very narrow too.

Narrow in the toes
These boots look great!<br />My usual shoe size 12 was not big enough in the toe region. The toe box is very narrow. Perhaps if they came in half sizes, I could go up 1/2 size and make it work. I would consider that because these are super cool and appear to be quality. I do have a narrow heel/wide toe foot shape.

Man these are some beautifully made street riding shoes. I've been looking for something other then boots all the time. Messing up sneakers. They kind of snug cause my feet a little wide but nothing to wine about.

Worth it.
Definitely needs longer socks, and it does keep your feet dry. They are also pretty warm in the winter. They style is great if you're into the skater shoe styles. They are pretty comfy too. Not much air flow, so the feet do get stanky

Durable for a Year or so
It's quite dark black like the photos. The top of the shoes are bulky for protection, but that makes the narrow shoe get wide near the ankles which -1 for style. +1 Protection > style though. <br /><br />The soles of the shoes doesn't look like it'll last more than a year. It's quite soft and grip well, but soft means less durability over time. <br /><br />It was quite comfortable and true to size. I felt well protected with these shoes as well. I wish it had a zipper. It's not fun tying the laces every time.
