I Have SIDI Vertigo boots. They feel a bit awkward on the bike as I have to tilt my foot more to get the toe under the shifter. I'm sure I could probably adjust the lever but haven't done so yet. I lost some height as well since the soles sre thinner than my hiking shoes. Other than that they feel comfortable. I got mine new off of E-Bay for $150. Retail $300. Someone had bought them and then had second thoughts. I wear Leather Jacket, Gloves, Boots all the time. Recently just picked up a pair of SHIFT Havoc Leather pants.
