Picked up some A* Octane shoes in white today. For the short time that I have worn them, they seem to be really comfortable. Movement is slightly limited by the tongue/inner liner, but it's just the black part that is a little tight and I'm sure that liner will loosen up after a little time in them. I wanted to get them a touch tight and let them wear in because there is quite a bit of padding so it should give way a bit after some use. Seem to be a very solid shoe and I like the styling on them. Didn't want to go with a full boot for street riding, but also wanted to upgrade the Sketchers. This fits right in the middle, I guess. Anyway, I'll add to this after I ride with them for a while.

It probably took you longer to bitch about no pictures than it would have taken to type "alpinestars.com" but here they are for those that are unfamiliar with the internet....
