Product Comfortable and Reasonablly Priced
I have to say this boot works great and provides great airflow when riding. Though it does not offer much protection above the calf this is the perfect boot for those quick rides and when your in a hurry and do not want to be wearing a heavy boot to get to where you want to be. I would recommend this reasonably priced boots as there so comfortable and great for summer riding and commuting so long as its not raining.

Have to love the style to justify the $
I really fell in love with the style of these boots. If you're
looking for a descent touring boot that you can wear around town, this is it. I'm usually a size 10.5 US, and read the review since these run big - I ordered a 44 instead of 45- and they fit perfectly.
Hold down straps are a bit chincy but work for now. Velcro and zipper system for rear entry works well, very well padded inner cuff are comfortable even after my 150 km in 2 hrs traffic threading. Toe sliders haven't come into play yet buy the boot looks like it offers good protection.

Comfortable
Comfortable fit, good protection. Only drawback is that the boot could fit a little tighter, but I could simply have slimmer feet than normal.

Good boots, poor snap buckles
Got these boots 3 months ago and one of the snap buckles is already broken! Won't recommend these for the price-quality trade off really sucks.

It's up there in $$ but worth it . . . .
These run slightly large. I'm an 8.5 but I chose a size 8 US size and it fits perfect. Went on a 40 mile ride and they were comfortable. Still breaking them in. I don't use them to walk around in so I couldn't comment on that.

Looks like Track boots feels like hangout shoes
They feel great and do the job and if you want to go to the club with it, it's all good.

Competently designed & made, but falls well short in fit adjustment.
For those who have narrow AND flat feet, these are pretty much impossible to adjust to fit. The ratchet system bottoms out too quickly, and then the instep leather bunches up more than is ideal. I can get them to finally feel almost secure and confident, and it helps if I wear thicker socks, but between the side zipper which offers no adjustability and the single ratchet closure on top that can only cinch so far, I can't get a great perfect fit that I'd be happy I spent two bills on. Know what I mean?
Which is a shame, because I really wanted these boots to work! They are super stiff, which is great, have terrific ventilation, are pretty lightweight, and have toe sliders to act as an early warning system to bottoming out my rear sets. Plus they look pretty sharp and have the advantage of keeping my calves and upper ankles free from the bulky cage if race boots. Kind of the you-can-have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too street boots.
It would've been so perfect to have the instep leather be two overlapping pieces (with a connecting gusset) that could move and adjust accordingly to the single ratchet, thereby affecting a better fit. Instead, the ratchet cinches down over a single piece of leather that doesn't move at all, and the tighter you have to cinch, the more the leather bunches up at its weakest point. Not good.

Really can't say anything bad!
Takes a few rides and walk-abouts to break it in. But very comfortable on the pegs and a boot you can wear all day without killing your feet.
I really like the adjustable clip across the top. It helps make the boot just a bit more snug where I need it.
