Pros: I live in Texas, my first time out w/ these boot and it was 100+ degrees. Our ride started at 7:30am to beat the heat, had several stops for breakfast and lunch, and ended at 3:30pm. I never took these boots off one time. Pretty much MINIMAL break in time, effective from the moment I sat on the bike. Took a few minutes to adapt to the thickness of the boot with the shifter, but non-existant worry after thirty minutes of riding. These boot are great. Plenty of protection: had a toe drag two hours into the ride, on the twisties, and had no visual damage at all. Solid. TAKE the time to loosen the strings, they were NO ISSUE, when taking them off. TAKE the time to tighten them from the bottom up, again the lacing system is NO ISSUE. Great color match, very comfortable, even walking in them was no issue. For the money, great boot. Thanks.
Cons: The only negative I can come up with, one of the skid plates was a bit loose. A simple tightening w/ the phillips screw driver and BAM, perfect. When you get your boots, simply take a minute to check all the screws. NOTICE: Tighten very gently, do NOT over tighten the screws, they look as though they could strip out easily. Be patient, they're worth it!
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: I wear a size 13 in Nike cross trainer shoes, I ordered a size 13 and it seems like a perfect fit for me. MAYBE a half size too long, but not worth the risk because I have a very wide foot & these felt great after a 6 hour ride my first time out.
To put it all together, I am a very budget oriented customer. I purchased the AGV one-piece suit, and the AGV tornado gloves, as well as these boots. The color matches all the way around, so looks are great. I honestly didn't expect that for the money. As for quality & functionality, I thought I'd sacrifice a lot...this has not been an issue so far. Everything seems sturdy. Seems are solid. Zippers seam strong. The only concern would be the lacing system on the boots, however if you take the time to lace them up properly, and loosen them properly...this seems to be a no issue for me. I'm one of those people whom sweat when the moon comes out, breathability for all these items was downright INCREDIBLE! Air flows in from all the vents properly. Twice I had to look down to see if the suit had untucked from my boots, the ventalation was so good. It was 100 plus degree weather, and I felt great while the bike was moving!!! Unbelievable!
