This is my second pair of Demonia boots. I also have a pair of Riot-14s that I really like. The boots look great. They're are pretty comfortable right out of the box and take less time to break in than, say, Doc Martens. Unlike some other boots I've owned, these zippers are really heavy-duty. I like that. As others have mentioned, these aren't as roomy as the Riot-14s, which seem to run big. These boots are true to size. The boots don't seem quite as well made as my Angry Itch boots, but those boots also cost more than twice what I paid for the Riot-10s. They are well made, though, and I think they'll last a long time. All in all, they're excellent boots for what you pay.

They definitely need to be broken in, but they’re very fashionable for steel toed boots! However, they do seem to fit smaller than the taller boots in the Riot line.
