This boot is stylish and comfortable. There is not very much ankle protection, but the heels are very sturdy and the soles flex just enough. The airflow is amazing. After hours of riding, my feet are still completely dry in 80ish degree weather.
The size runs large. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 and a size 9 is slightly large on me.
The pucks on the sides are a little difficult to remove at first, but once you realize how to do it, it's easy.
I haven't had them for long enough to comment on durability.
