Pros:	Very comfortable, clean / good looks, weather proof
Cons:	Good boot but not state of the art protection, Hot in the summer

This boot is great for all around riding. For real sporty riding or track I would go with some more protection, but for average day to day riding and sport-touring, this boot is great. Especially becasue of the Goretex.

Pros:	Durable, protective, good value, and watertight
Cons:	Bulkier toe than many others

I\'ve owned a pair for 3 years now and have found them to be comfortable, well made, and easy to get into. They took a bit of getting used to - given the bulkier toe than my old boots, but I quickly got acclamated. They feel secure and protective without being obtrusive or garrish and they work well off the bike - even when hiking thru snow! I highly recommend for sport-touring. They\'re never too warm in summer (New York) and never too cold even in Jan.

Pros:	Good Fit and totally waterproof
Cons:	stiff at first

I\'ve had these boots 6 months now and love them. I commute to work (30miles there/30miles back) and they are great. Easy to shift and break in, no chaffing anywhere. Rain means nothing to these boots. I highly recommend them. They have changed the boots with the \'05 version so I can only recommend the \'04 and older boots.

Pros:	Comfortable
Cons:	Poor Quality

Very nice boot until the rubber sole cracked when propping my bike (KTM 950) up on its center stand. Left a big v-shaped hole in the sole. Boot was less than a year old (bought Sept 05). Don't buy this one if you're looking for a quality boot.
