A* Fastback boots, any users here?

[Shaft]

Basically, I'm after a convenience boot, that I can wear on the commute, then leave on to walk about the workshop and drive cars all day.

These boots look like they might do the job, but do they last and are they comfortable to wear, all day long?

Also, as I'm going to be ordering on the netz, how do A* sizes come up, small, normal or large?

Ta in advance

I got pair of TCX X-Squares and Furygan Gene Sympatex for nowt from a supplier and they fit the bill for what you require, probably cost less than alpinestars overpriced stuff..

Edit: Just checked I've got the X-cubes not X-Squares

Presume you're aware of non-bike options; but I like my goretex army boots. I've crashed in these and the non-goretex versions and they've done me fine. Have used them off-roading before too and while certainly not up to the Tech 10s I have now, they still did ok.

Get reasonable life out of them. Pretty much live in them.
They are fairly stiff/hard to start with, but you do get used to them.
The goretex version has a little softer sole.

Army boots are not at all what I'm after chaps, I need something more like a training shoe.

UKRW, those Furygan boots look OK and are cheaper, the TCX model is a bit too chunky and only a tenner less than the A*s.

Try looking at motorcycle paddock boots

I might be wrong but for 80 notes I can't see them offering you much more protection than a pair of leather trainers.

Sidi streetburners and sidi slash' may be worth a look too/

Waterproof socks (e.g. Sealskinz) + any boots then.
