Purchased size 9 my regular size, the fit is perfect no pinching of toes seem quite comfortable walking about in them but not fully broke in yet but signs are they'll break in nicely. They are a good thick leather with a waterproof membrane but haven't tried them in the rain, have a good thick sole with gear shift protector. The extra height means these are a level 2 boot for protection which fills me with confidence, overall these are a great pair of boots for the money (bought when they were on offer) with good thick leather, waterproof membrane, level 2 protection and a great fit what's not to like, delivered next day usual Sportsbike service brilliant company.
