I wore mine for 2 games last night, and at first, I thought they were pretty stiff. But they broke in reasonably quickly, although I did end up with a nasty popped blister on my left big toe. But before that, I liked them a lot. Some may not like the lack of cushioning, but I thought it made the shoe very responsive. I prefer the tongue/lacing system on the vapor carbons, but the VTEs overall felt like a better performance cleat. As expected, I think the talon cleats are a gimmick, I couldn't tell any difference with them. I thought the upper definitely felt stiffer than the vapor carbons.
Also, I should add that I normally wear a size 9 and got the VTE in a size 9, and they initially felt about .5 too big. But once I got running around in them, they felt totally fine.
