I tried a pair of the W2's on and loved them. Nicer to walk in than my hiking boots plus I like the look of them as they are not obvious as being motorbike boots when under jeans etc.
I didn't buy them as I had difficulty reconciling whether they had sufficient protection *for me* (definitely a personal thing). For maximum protection I would have bought Alpinestar Tech 3's as they are not much more expensive. However, I considered these too extreme for my usage and settled on what I determined was the middle ground - the Sidi Adventure, although quite expensive.
I wore the Sidi's pretty much all day every day over 4 months and 20,000klm over various road qualities (I have owned them for at least 1 year and 5,000klm more) and the sole of mine looks like new, they are incredibly comfortable and remain waterproof. The only obvious signs of wear is on the toes, possibly from stones being thrown up from the front wheel? I have heard of the sole issue before, but no problems with mine. I would be disappointed if I had sole issues on a boot at this price point!
The only disappointment is the "infamous" squeek that drives me insane
