After reading this thread, i had a couple changes. Like the coating on the toe cap, flexible tendon guard etc. But since it seems the new model takes care of most of these things, i just kept it the way it is. Also did not get any additional colours. I think the all black boot looks pretty slick. Main thing for me is the fit, and that's what i am looking forward to the most. Also would like to note, i really like how they went to a flat head screw for the velcro instead of the button head.
