Rikio Tavifoot Hightop (Lace) - Ninja Boots

Ok so here's the deal. By no means would I recommend someone use these as motorcycle riding boots; because they're not built for that, but that's what I bought them for, and they work great..What I would recommend them for is parkour; however, I digress. If you decide to buy these shoes, what you're really paying for are the soles of the shoes. They're incredibly well crafted, and provide an interesting floaty feel when you walk/run. No matter where you go with them, someone will say something to you about them, or mistake them for 5 toe shoes. They also sort of-kind of have a natural arch that provides support; assuming you have arched feet. Finally, they quiet your step without a doubt when you consciously walk the right way; but with all that good there has to be some bad.I've had the shoes a good amount of months now, and I've worn them a lot to break'em in for riding my motorcycle. The leather (whatever in god's name it actually is) is absolutely terrible. I got my Rikio's pretty wet after biking (mountain biking) with one of my friends & they developed slight cracks right on top of the foot near the strings; probably from the tension.. Whatever the material is, DON'T GET IT WET. Then finally, it takes a good while to break them in. I'm not saying they're uncomfortable when you wear them for the first time, but they squeak foreeeeeeeeeeeever and a day after you've owned them for a while. They squeak from the tongue rubbing the leather. Mine just recently stopped squeaking though, but all in all, I love the shoes, and from dealing with some of it's minor negatives, you can get some major positives.

These need to come in more sizes... Preferably larger sizes!!! I want these but there's no way in hell my foot is gonna fit inside a US men's 8... These would be perfect for parkour!!!
