Default Elf motorcycle shoes from Japan?

I saw these cool motorcycle shoes in Japan today for about $120. They seem to have all the right protectors for the lower portion of my foot but they are low so I am afraid I will twist my ankle unless I get em snowboard style boots. Any reviews? Is the heel thing a big problem? I don't go on the track but am a reckless highway/street driver :/

elf shoes have really good reviews here. They are usually comfy to wear and safe for riding....BUT these are NOT for track riding. They are great for regular rides though.

This page seems to be an auction page and the auction is already closed. If you ARE still interested, PM me. I can quote some prices in discount riding gear stores and online places and send a pair too (I live in Japan).
