Alpinestars - Octane Riding Shoes
Love the shoes. They run big, so the size/fit was not the best. Other than that I have NO COMPLAINTS. I will order another pair as a spare in a smaller size.

Octane Riding Shoe
Got them for Christmas and they looked great! I've only worn them riding and the white is coming off. Now the toe that meets the shifter is coming apart.!

Lookin' Cool!!
I truly believe in the quality and fit of Alpinestar footwear and apparel. These boots are no exception. Great fit with velcro straps. These not only perform nice, but look hot!

Great Boots
I got these without trying them on, but I am happy. They are true to size, meaning I could probably buy any Alpinestars boot in my size and it would fit. Very comfortable...easy to get on and off. Zipper on one side with Velcro is very easy to deal with when changing out of my leathers at work

Alpinestars Octane Riding Shoe
I love the shoes, they look great. They're still white too thanks to the shoe shift protector that slips over the toe of the shoe. Best buy yet Thanks.

Octane - white
After reading some reviews that this would be pretty stiff the first few days that it can be hard to shift, I went ahead and used them during my MSF course. They performed very well- no problems at all. Just make sure you have long socks. They took about 4 days to break-in that walking around work felt more comfortable. They feel a bit wide on my 250R (and I bought 8.5!) but nothing really major that I have to adjust anything on the bike. I will definitely buy them again!

Great shoe
I bought these as an alternative to wearing my Timberlands, and they are better than the Timberlands in many ways. There really is no comparison; this shoe is much, much better than any non-motorcycle boot. And in comparison to most other motorcycle boots, this is the best value you can get. The price is great, and these shoes look normal enough that you could just wear them around as regular shoes without anyone looking twice. I highly recommend this shoe, and I am probably going to get a second pair in a different color.

Excellent entry level shoes
These riding shoes are great quality. The fit is much too stiff and several hours of riding and walking in them hasn't softened them up. The ankle may be irritated when strapped too tight. Wear them lose around ankle to remedy this problem. Overall this is an excellent entry level shoe.

Very nice boots! Microfibre is NOT leather!
In short, I really like these boots. Wicked Alpinestars styling, good comfort (a little snug for my wide feet), and they look amazing.

Shoes true to size
Bought the size I wear and fit was good. There was enough room to put in a jell innersole and it made a big difference in comfort .

Durability not so Durable
Purchased a pair of these boots back in May. I thought awesome boot, nice fit, finish then in September things started going wrong. My left shoe which I shift with on the outside seemed to crack and within 2 weeks the shoes were no longer usable because the left shoe separated from the tongue. For the money spent on the shoe I would think they would have done more research to prevent this from happening.

Great riding shoe
I got these because I wanted a pair of better looking riding boots to wear when I needed to have normal looking shoes (such as when riding to work). They are comfortable, perfect mobility and feel for riding a sportbike, and look like regular shoes. I think these are the perfect compromise when you don't want to slap on a big pair of SMX or SIDI boots.
