Yey ....positive info about the suspected swimming pool of a boot.
Comfort cooling and general fitment are on top of my list.

Just seen this has been bumped, thought I'd mention that I've found a flaw in these, I can't use them on my CBR. The toe must be too high as changing gear is a nightmare, it was a little tricky on the SV but on the CBR it's a real conscious effort to shift up, perhaps I'll get used to them but to be honest I'm not sure they'll gettye light of day as it's not much fun!

i got these a while ago.

they leak like a sieve! so much as look at them and you have wet feet.

there tight round my fat legs.

they squeak a lot

however i do like them. they keep your foot where its supposed to be thanks to that little draw chord bit and im not worried about them flying off in a crash. Ive also got fragile ankles (too much time in ski boots i think) and feel reasured while wearing them. I got mine cheap but if i could get the goretex ones now i would.

Is only when they get wet that they squeak really, but a bit of lube wont hurt them
