You don't mention track or street. I ride street only and I love my TCX X-Move WP boots. I wear them year round. They offer great protection for my daily commute to work and my weekend adventures. More than anything, they are extremely comfortable. In making my selection comfort actually came before protection as if they were not comfortable, I would not bother to wear them. Good luck in your search! Gear is a very personal choice and what works for one may not work for another.
