I've been riding for 10 years and I tried on a lot of boots before I got to these. The comfort is great. The fit is customizable with the pump, especially around the achilles tendon area, so your heel doesn't lift as much. The actual size: don't get too small thinking it has to be snug. DC doesn't leave much room. I ended up getting the same as my regular show size, but it is definitely a "just right" fit, where as for my regular shoes I have a little more toe wiggle room.
The look is great, I've gotten lots of compliments. And the BOA lacing system is just awesome. Works to perfection. I love popping the laces to unlocked position when I am walking around.
I don't see the need for the velcro straps on the inner lining portion and find them cumbersome, but that is not something you can't get around easily.
