The most comfortable biking boots I've owned. But never got toe scuffs like you. Guess it depends what you are riding and your foot position on the pegs. I found early on with mine to not over-tighten the laces, and to tuck the excess lace inside for maximum comfort and safety
@@SBMoto Hmm... I'm not sure I'm liking that. Just found this brand through a pop-up, grooving on their looks and suchlike, and now find your vid with a big gouge in the boot. Those laces are a true goof also. All in all, do you like the brand? I'm willing to jump, but someone in the know has to give me the nod. Thanks...
I'm kind of 50\50 on the boots. As you noted, they did scuff really easily. I don't necessarily mind that, but I will note that the overall stiffness igidity is far less than I was expecting. They're (to me) really just a little bit more rigid than a standard tall leather boot with some pads at the ankle bone. That noted, I can wear them all day comfortably. The soles have held up really well and show literally 0 wear. For the sale price I snagged my pair for, I'm pleased. Knowing what I know now, I'd probably look for something that was maybe less fashion oriented and just accept swapping out shoes while I'm at work. All that said, for daily commuter boots, I'm not looking to replace them.

Nice review!!! Im just curious how comfortable/soft were they out of the box?
They were pretty comfortable. For sure a bit on the soft end. I figure they need that a bit for the big ol side zip.
Nice review! As this is a waterproof boot, isn't get too hot in higher temp weather?
They're not too bad in the heat. I'm pretty tolerant of that though as I'm used to running full MX boots when riding woods. 👍
@@SBMoto ok thanks! That was my only concern, so now I give it a try
I wear my Stylmartins all year with normal socks. Never to hot or cold.
Stylmartin is Italian😊
Italian-made?
Made in Slovakia per the inside tag. 👍
