I'm sure they offer relatively the same protection as any other brand of racing boot. Personally I would be leery of the brand since I haven’t heard of them but then again its only been about a year since I've been back in the sport bike scene. If you like the way they look then I would go for them.
As far a comfort goes I don't see how any type of boot designed like that could be that comfortable considering the hard flat soles they have. They are designed to keep your foot well planted on a 4" x 1" foot peg not standing around at your local bike night.
I have a pair of Alpinestars SMX boots and like them a lot when I am on the bike. When I am off they suck! I rarely wear them now and I am not selling them since I wasn to do track days and that type of boot is required for safety as they should be. I also have Icon Motorhead boots that I most often wear but I had to but Dr. Scholl’s (sp?) inserts into them so I could stand around in them for long periods of time. Icon also has a new boot for 06 that they have named the Field Armor. They look radical and like robot ski boots to me. The reason I bring them up is that Icon claims that they are very comfortable but if they are like the Motorhead I don’t see how. They also say that about the Motorhead boot so I think it is “wishful” marketing.
I know I went into unexpected detail about your question so I hope it helps.
Oh ya,
Some say, "It's not how you feel it's how you look". I try to find the happy medium  .
