O'Neal - 0346-211 Sierra Pro Men Boot (Brown, EU 45/Us 11)

This is a great comfort boots of an amazing confort and nice quality but advert for all mx riders and offroad, this boots are not strong enough for rock terrains.

MY USE CASEBought these boots in anticipation of buying my 1st motorcycle. Have been riding my ebike w/ them alomg w/ some other moto gear to test fit & feel.INITIAL INPRESSIONSThese boots are extremely comforatble, despite being bigger & more protective than the barefoot / zero drop footware I generally prefer.The were comically squeaky the first few days/ rides, but w/in the 1st week of wearing them, they're already silent.COMPARED TO ALPINESTAR TECH 3 BOOTSThis is my 1st pair of motorcycle boots, so I can only compare them to the AlpineStar Tech 3s I purchased to try at the same time.The AlpineStar Tech 3s definitely have a lot more protection, & I'd trust them under worse situations than these (pretty sure one guy's review mentioned his foot got ran over by a truck, & was able to walk away). However, they were a lot stiffer, & the killing blow, they had the grip of a babie's bottom. Might grab on solid surfaces, but would have 0% traction in mud or other adventurous terrain.FINAL THOUGHTSThese beautiful O'Neal boots are flexible enough to walk around in comfortably (could probably run in them, too), have the sole of a hiking boot, & were about as tall as the Tech 3s (can't remember which were taller).I can still crouch, walk, & pedal a bike in them comfortably, & definitely trust them to protect me from impacts & abrasions, even if I doubt their ability to prevent damage from being run over by a truck.Lord willing, between becoming a S.M.A.R.T. Rider (DanDantheFireman) & a better Christian, I'll avoid getting ran over by trucks in my life.Beautiful, comfortable, versarile boots. Will be taking camping.

Initial fit and comfort are great...quality appears to be good especially when considering the price. As far as protection, they're lacking in the ankle area, but I knew that before making the purchase. Not too stiff, so you can walk in them but enough support in the soles to spend time standing on the pegs.

UPDATE AFTER 4 MONTHS - THE BOOTS THEMSELVES ARE NOW SUPER COMFORTABLE, I USE THEM WITH MY GOLDWING, VERSYS AND KLR. THEY FIT PRETTY EASILY UNDER RIDING JEANS OR PANTS AND LOOK PRETTY GOOD ON WHETHER YOU SEE THE WHOLE BOOT OR JUST THE FOOT PIECE. I'VE NOW HAD THE CHANCE TO USE THEM FOR SOME OFFROAD RIDING AND THEY PERFORMED WELL BUT NOT AMAZING. I ACTUALLY HAD A SMALL SPILL AND THE BOOT PROTECTED ME WHEN THE BIKE LANDED ON TOP OF ME BUT THEY DO LACK RIGIDITY AT THE ANKLE (SEE PHOTOS) NOW THAT I HAVE BROKEN THEM IN AND THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ANKLE OR LOWER LEG INJURY WHEN RIDING HARD OFF ROAD! THE BOOTS HAVE SOFTENED UP QUITE NICELY AND NOW OFFER REALLY GOOD FEEL ON THE BIKE AND ARE SURPRISINGLY COMFORTABLE FOR WALKING IN! THEY ARE PRETTY FLEXIBLE COMPARED TO MX BOOTS AS I'VE STATED SO YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER SOMETHING MORE STURDY IF YOU PLAN SOME SERIOUS ADVENTURE RIDING (I HAVE BOUGHT A NEW PAIR OF O'NEAL ELEMENTS FOR THIS - WILL REVIEW THOSE TOO). HAVING SAID ALL THIS, THESE BOOTS ARE WAY BETTER THAN ANY OF THE OTHER BOOTS I HAVE OWNED FOR GENERAL PURPOSE RIDING. THEY ARE ALSO GOOD IN THE RAIN AND KEPT MY FEED WARM AND DRY.IF YOU WANT A GREAT BOOT AT A GREAT PRICE THAT DOES A LOT OF THINGS REALLY WELL BUT NOTHING AMAZINGLY, THESE ARE FOR YOU. I WOULD BUY THEN AGAIN.ORIGINAL REVIEW - Unlike some of the other reviews I found these didn't fit great at first. I'm a size 13 and pretty wide and there is only just enough room in the length and they were very tight at the start and I almost sent them back. I found the boots dug into me around the ankles at first when walking and adjusting the straps took quite a bit of work. I also wore them as regular everyday boots (walking around the house etc.) as well as riding in them to help break them in. Having said all this, I finally have them broken in and adjusted properly after a couple of weeks of perseverance and they are now very comfortable. They are good to ride in, they feel pretty sturdy but still have enough feel and movement to allow for easy operation of the bike. I haven't tested the waterproofness or long term durability but for now I'm very happy with the purchase. The price is pretty fair for these too.

Muy buen producto, vale mucho la pena, ya me toco estrenarlas y en general muy buena experiencia.Pros:+ Percepción de unas botas muy seguras, te sientes muy protegido con ellas.+ Son cómodas, a pesar de ser altas, puedes caminar con las botas sin mayor problema.Contras:- al ser gruesas (me imagino que es algo normal) tardas un poco en acostumbrarte con los cambios de marcha, nada del otro mundo pero si es un tema al inicio.- no hay variedad de colores (aunque se ven geniales las cafes) me hubiera gustado tener la opción de color negro.Producto 100% recomendado!Felices compras!!
