Pros & Cons
Pros
Sizing and fit are great. I always upgrade the arch support with powerstep inserts. I need shoes that won't slip off my wet pedals and the tread is deep enough to keep my feet on the pedals. They are the best functional shoe i have found.
As an active commuter (bike, bus, walk) who tries to avoid driving, i find myself wearing them all over town. They look good with almost everything (except a ball gown) which is a plus. They seem pretty subdued with the dark grey to me.
The stabilizing roll bar in them. Teal color that's brighter, more neon-ish than the web site photo depicts.
Get a gem for cheap. Just the boots. Great boot. And ya know what? I recommend this new balance boot.
Cons
The right shoe's sole came away from the shoe on the inner front side. Would cause black toe nails. I wear a wide width, this boot is pretty true to width, the rest of the boot fits horrible.
