Boots arrived today. Thought they were too small then I realised they still had paper in the toe - been a while since I've boot new boots. They are pretty comfortable and seem quite strong when attempting to bend the ankles over. Leather isn't as plush and pretty as the Dainese / Alpinestar offerings but at half the price that is to be expected. They look a little 'plasticky' up close but again, they were never going to be as plush as the big brands.

They tighten up real well with the ratchet system and there is also a strap over the top of the foot to make them tighter or looser depending on your preference.

All in all they seem pretty remarkable value at $240.
