Really love these boots. Excellent quality. Zippers and strength of boot are impeccable. Very stylish. Love the side zippers. The laces can be custom tied so that all you have to do is unzip and slip on. Your laces will remain as you want them. One problem for ME - shaft is too tall over my ankle and cuts into my calf. I ride a Honda CBR 250R which is a sport bike. Foot pegs are at a pretty good angle. These will kill me if on the bike too long.

Very sad to say they'll have to be returned but that does not mean that they are not beautiful boots. Just not right fit when I'm going to be on the motorcycle. Sorry to say I would not have a comfortable ride at all. If you have skinny calves and can make it work, go for it. Just not right for me. They had to be perfect as I'm going to be doing a lot of riding so both comfort AND durability are key.

Special note for HEEL HEIGHT: we had to lower my 250R 2 inches so I have a more solid flat foot when stopped. This chunkier heel height will resolve any hesitation. That 2 inch heel will keep your foot flatter on the ground that if you are wearing a conventional motorcycle shoe. You want protection around your ankles. If you are a little shorter and are tippy-toeing it on your bike at the stop light, you might think about this boot so you can flat foot and feel safer. The boot is solid with good soles and will provide the safety you need with a little added girly height. I cannot speak about durability of the sole as I didn't have a chance to wear them outside the house. But this boot will work perfectly with a cruiser bike but would be questionable with a sport bike because of foot angle on the pegs.

Special note about FIT: This boot fit pretty well on my left foot with a bunion. Ordered size 6.5 which had plenty of length. I normally wear a 6.5W (C/D) in New Balance sneakers and Skechers. So this boot is true to fit in my opinion. Medium width is fairly generous even with a medium weight sock. Also inserted orthotics for a little snugger fit so heel would not slip. If you order these boots and the heel does slip a little, insert some insoles or heel protectors on the inside. Instep is perfect for a gal with a higher instep. I was able to slip them on with no problem. The leather is fairly supple and forgiving but also tough. Final fit in left toe box got fairly snug with orthotic and I could feel that my bunion was alive and well. So, generally speaking - my reason for returning is 2-fold: shaft height too rigid for sport bike riding & the toe box a little too snug for my left foot's conditions.

Still, if you have a medium width foot, go for it. They are GORGEOUS.
