| Very comfortable! |
By Adam from Garden city, NY on 09/15/2008
Pros: Comfortable as all hell! I had a pair of A*'s boots about 7 years ago, forget what kind. They weren't that good at all. I was somewhat reluctant to get another pair of A*'s, but I am very very glad I did. The feeling of these boots is incredible, its more comfortable than any shoe or boot I've ever worn. The lining is plush, soft, its a pleasure to wear these! Haven't but them to the pavement yet, but with my luck that will happen soon enough ;)
Cons: I just got them, but the zipper is hard to get up fully into the "locked" position. Perhaps its due to the Alpinestars track pants I wear, with the bulky shin armor. But even if I can't get the zipper all the way up, the ratcheting calf piece locks her down tight.
Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller
Additional Sizing Notes: Supposed to wear a 46, but I got the 45 and its nice and snug.
