Rider upgrade. I have a strong belief that these boots will be a win-win for people as your foot rests on the pins and the wedges feel so uncomfortable. I got on my R1 buddies that I've ridden a couple of times and I was sure I was really going to send these boots back. Because of the two and a half inch heels, it was very uncomfortable to change gears and it seemed to me that he was forcing me to brake on the right. I obviously ride my toes in my photos and move to brake or skid, but if you ride your foot or toe to break you need to learn how to ride them. I got on my R6 and felt really good. These boots are definitely worn in specific places as you can see in one of my photos, they overlap in the riding position. I've looked at so many boots so far and can't find one that suits my style and I really like the look of them. So, like many other reviewers, I trust Joe Rocket and have purchased them several times in the past. I was very excited to get these boots but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I wear a size 7 1/2 so went for a size 8 which still feels a little tight but definitely has plenty of toe and upper calf room (calfs are a common issue for me). Strangely, although I don't usually have wide feet, it's very tight on the sides of my foot, and also in the ankle area. I'm sure it will break, but I'd go up a half size if you're worried about the fit. That being said, my real concern is the quality of how it looks put together. I'll share a few pics but it looks like the areas where it was marked for sewing have been skipped over a couple of times and there's a lot of glue visible which I don't usually like on my boots or shoes. I prefer them well brushed although they are riding boots and for the time being I think they are definitely worth it for the price. I hope they shrink a little more and I'm afraid they will be uncomfortable to ride in as I have never worn a 2 inch heel although they made it clear. It seems that the compression created by riding in this position doesn't suit me. I will definitely keep these boots if they don't fall apart completely on the first ride.
