I had the prior model of boot and they were poop. I now have the same ones, but the black, not the gay, I mean cool Stewart replica ones.:) j/k They are great boots and broke in within a few rides. I've had them for about 7 months now and have had "0" problems. The prior ones came apart at the seams but these have held up great. The buckles are much better than the older ones too. There isn't a difference between the ones you got and what I have, other than the color and the buckle colors. Same materials so you should enjoy them. Don't worry about the color scheme, as long as you ride like the wind, no one will say anything.;)
