Favorite of the 20 or so Boost models I own. I'm a solid size 11 on all the other Boost models, but on these I need a 10.5. You may like your normal size if you prefer 3/8 inch or so in front of your big toe. In addition, the sock insert is very spacious. Stiffer nylon webbing than other Boost models, doesn't stretch. High-quality, stretchy leather provides a silver look. a bit and think it might be pigskin. Lots of squelching as an occasional hit giving in to the Arsham model. They're top notch if that's what you're looking for. Prolonged standing or walking. High quality workmanship, I will pick up in a different color.
