They are awesome,now I know lots of reviews say they are maybe too stiff but I came from your usual XC shoes so these don't feel remotely as stiff. I also don't walk like I have a carrot stuck up my ass. But overall very comfy and they put the power down very well,and the Boa makes life very easy.there is only one thing I would change and that is where the Boa sits,I would have it on top and not on the side. The Kestrel lace is coming so that will address price for a lot of people and maybe fit,lots of guys with narrow feet have a bit of a issue with fit but I definitely don't have that problem.
