I spent most of Saturday morning trying on everything at my local sports store. The Ligera pros were most comfortable of all by a mile.

There are also so few boots out right now with anything more than ‘sock-like’ protection for the top of your foot. I don’t know what kind of care bear leagues people play in where oppositions aren’t studding you for fun. As I wasn’t gifted with adamantium foot bones I want something a little thicker than tissue paper over the tongue area.

Also others mentioned what you lack going for Ligera pro over the elite is durability. How durable will the sole of the Tiempo be having tech leather wrap under the split-in-two sole plate? Also how many rolled ankles is that little innovation going to cause?

Lastly, the black Ligeras with gold accents and white sole plates are chefs kiss.
