I got these in the mail yesterday and they're what I was looking for. Soft enough in the soles to feel the pedals, but nice and padded around the ankles up to and above the height of the pedals on the MSX.

I've been riding with these for almost a month after a rigorous boot search and I LOVE them. I tried work boots, skate shoes, motorcycle shoes, moto boots, and a few hiking boots and when I put these on I knew my search was over. They have ankle support for when I want it but what I really was looking for was the thick padding around the ankle that comes up to height of the pedals on my MSX. It was hard to find a boot with padding and a soft enough sole that I could still feel the pedals. They have it all, and are much cheaper than most other boots I tried. Sizing ran kind of big.
