they are so freaking awesome. they really help with responsiveness, and reaction time from going edge to edge with the closed toe. they give a very snug feeling along with being somewhat flexible. they are alittle stiffer than the sphynx, but less stiff than the watsons. oh and they are so comfortable and soft. like pillows for your feet
I love em, their super comfortable, easy in and out, I just wish they were a little stiffer. I'm still not sold that the closed toe does anything and I sometimes wish I had picked up the Watsons instead, but still a sick binding
just got a pair of them and they are sick! I can tell a difference between the close toe and the open. I feel much more solid on my heel edge when I throw it one hard or land and need to get a solid edge in. Make sure you get the right size, cause my pair are a little snug in the toe and awkward landings make your toes move up... but truly sick, and nothing wrong with a little gangsta look to the setup...
