I was super excited to get these because of the style. I love skater shoes and the look and comfort. This mostly translated in this shoe, however I have concerns about durability and overall quality. I am returning this shoe because I feel my pair was defective and generally because I think a $200+ shoe should be much more put together than this is.

First, there is little to no tread on these soles. <1mm deep. I can see this being worn smooth within a week because of how soft the rubber is. I don't think this is safe, even for street riding. Mine had a weird bulge the size of my thumb on one shoe in the ball of foot area. I could feel this when I had the shoe on.

The base of one shoe was noticeably twisted to the point where it wouldn't sit flat on a table. The other shoe sat flat. Very strange, even after a walk around the house and trying to twist it back into shape.

Generally I think the material of these looks very cheap. It doesn't have a finish of good quality leather, even of the softened or weathered variety and the croc embossing was barely visible compared to the shoes in the photo.

I emailed Rev'It about my quality concerns and was told only to take it to Revzilla. I am returning these and not trying another pair. The company (Rev'It) did not seem to care about these potential defects. I do not see a pair of these holding up to basic riding for very long. For the price, I'd want something to endure more than one riding season.

These sneakers are exactly what I was hoping they would be. Very comfortable, nice weight and amount of protection, and look great too. Very happy to have these! 4/5 on price because well, they're pricey shoes - and 4/5 on durability because the sole wears down kind of quickly - but hey, they're for riding, not walking. Everything else about them is perfect!

I ordered a size smaller than normal (wanted the tan) and was very pleased that they still fitted. Was looking for some height but not really getting any more than I do with my oversized work boots.
Comfortwise, not something to do a lot of walking in (definitely not a sneaker) and feels padded like a box (average boot comfort). Armor is not felt from the inside. Lightweight. Small profile. Decent clutch and brake feel.

And best of all, beautiful!

Thanks Revzilla

I picked these up for weekend warrior riding, mainly for the look. They are very cute, and mostly pretty comfortable so far. I will recommend wearing with a tall, thin wool (or sturdy) sock to prevent rubbed spots. There are potential spots near the outside of little toes and in the heel box to watch for, but maybe that is normal for a motorcycle show (first pair). I have done some like walking during breaks on rides and so far they are comfy for walking in. I wouldn't go hiking in them. They seem pretty true to size. I got the taupe, they clean up pretty well but obviously the white shows black marks quickly, especially on shifter foot.

Great for street riding. The sneaker like style also allows for walking around after a ride and still being comfortable. Thermoformed inserts at the heel, ankle and toe provide great protection making it more than just a sneaker. I think it's great if you want to go for a ride but don't feel like wearing heavy boots but are looking for something that offers more protection than street sneakers.
