im sorry to be the debbie downer here, but i had them last year and i wore them 2 days and my shins were fucked for over a month. I complained to dalbello, they said people were having similar issues, so they sent me a new pair of rampages for free and so far i love them, the most comfortable and stable boot i have ever worn and NO shinbang at all. i HIGHLY reccomend spending the extra cash on these.
