While wearing the Firstgear Mesh boots, I had a low side on gravel going about 15-20mph. When I finally stopped sliding, my foot was pinned under the bike until I was able to push the bike up enough to get my foot free. I'm really happy with how the Firstgear boots performed! They kept my foot and ankle from being crushed or broken, and they also kept the hot tailpipe from burning me. As you can see in the photo, the gravel chewed up the toe box a bit, but the perforated leather held up well. It took me about 2 weeks to break them in, and then they felt very comfortable and supportive. The zipper and velcro flap seems very sturdy, and the sole provides good traction. The size 42 was roomy for my (men's) size 9.5 foot, but once I put a Dr Scholls insole in, the fit was perfect. I'm going to order a new pair of these same boots to replace the pair I crashed in.
