Size 26 Purchased January 2025 After using them for touring, etc., I applied mink oil for maintenance. Regarding the feel: I had no problems shifting on a CBR250RR. My ankles felt well-protected, and I could ride my bike with confidence. Sole thickness is about 3cm. Made of genuine leather, so it doesn't feel cheap, and you can ride your bike looking cool. Price negotiation is okay. Please consider them.
