PROS

-  Very sturdy and well-made; not cheap-looking at all
-  They're not nearly as uncomfortable as they look
-  True to size; I wear a size eight shoe and the size eight boots fit me perfectly
-  Moderately adjustable depending on the size of your thighs/calves
-  Sexy, sexy, sexy

CONS

-  They're a pain to put on, though the buckles are removable which is useful for zipping these up
-  These might be too large in the thigh area if you have really skinny thighs
-  The material *will* squeak and squeal with every step you take; kind of like that Jimmy Fallon "Leatherman" sketch on SNL
-  The lacing is a cheap, flimsy ribbon that I'm not crazy about and will probably replace

In my opinion, the pros outweigh the cons.  I can't wait to wear these out clubbing :).
