I found these boots way more confortable than the Leatt's 5.5, those were squeezing my ankles so much that the following day I still felt like I had the boots on.
Not with the Gaerne's, these boots are as comfy as a MX boot is going to get. They are well made, look great, and forgot I had them on until it was time to shift. There's definitely an adjustment period to learn how to shift on MX boots but that's the price for protection.
