First off, the good: They fit true to size, have reflectors, decent protection, bareable to walk around in (less than a 1/4 mile and still be comfy), very comfy on the bike (more so than steel toe boots), shuifter feel is great, not too stiff and only 80 bucks!!


The bad: In the pic they appear black and white, not true they are black and silver (good for me, but maybe not if you wanted white), the zippers on the side rub on your ankle if you walk in them. The zip halfway and velcro the whole way, velcro seems fine now...not sure if it will war down and lose strength over time. Have to admit, they look pretty slick, the "racing" badge is kinda lame though.


Overall great boot, love them, don't ride without them. Screw shoes and workboots, these are more than durable enough for most crashes, but still allow you to move around. I would give them a 9/10, only downside being some weird zippers which rub my ankles. Wear some shin high socks and you are fine.
