I wanna know how comfortable these boots are. They look like a really good deal to me. I have yet to see them for any less than $129 so if anyone knows somewhere cheaper point me in the right direction.

I'd also like to know how they fit...are they larger than your regular street shoes in size or smaller?

Um... these are cheaper and much better:

If you move your budget up a notch:

And if you fit this size... you're not going to find a better boot for less than $1000!

They don't have the Oxtars I want in my size, The Teknik's aren't bad but I'll have to make sure I can spend the extra money first. It looks like they've got some in my size

i have them and i think they are great for the money
i wish they had a little more enkle protection though. i lowsided in them last weekend and my ankle is a little tweaked... also i wish they had a bit more ventilation..
other than that they are awesome!

They're about the same if not very slightly smaller. It may just be that they run narrow. Very comfortable fit, quality finish - wouldn't expect anything less from the same company that imports Sidi.

I have a pair of Teknic Violators (next level up) in 10.5/45 if that's your size. Only wore a couple of times over the course of a week before I won a pair of Sidi Vertigos; still have the box. $125

You're a 42 then. I'm between a 9.5 and 10 and a 43 is about right for me.

The quality is so-so, great for the price. I've had a Sidi B-1 and also have a pair of A* SMX Plus boots. The Setup's are definitely a notch lower in quality and feel. But their MSRP is lower so it's expected. I use them as my commuting boots. Comfy enough to walk around in for short periods of time.

When they wear out I will be going back to Sidi though.

Well that put the candle on the cake. I'll start looking for something different especially the Teknik's that were suggested.
