Havent seen them before, they look too bulky in the sole & I would guess you might possibly have to change your gear change position to compensate for the extra height, the velcro lace savers are a great idea, & the ankle protection looks to be pretty good.

Even with lace covers they can still get caught on the pegs and levers. Try a set of Thor 50/50 boots! I have two pair, a black and a tan pair and wear them around even when I am not on the bike as they are so comfy! I can also vouch for their crashworthiness. I tossed them down the rd last year on Hotham at 100kph and slid on the tar till I stopped with very little damage ot the boot and NO damage to my feet or ankles. :)

If you need to find a retailer, call Gas imports in Tullamarine Vic as they are the importer/dist!!!
