Excellent shoes for the money
These shoes look great and offer good protection for normal use. They are extremely comfortable and the soles grip a lot better than you would expect when off the bike. They run pretty true to size - I wear a size 10 and these in a 10 fit me perfectly.

Style, comfort, protection in low price package
Thanks to Revzilla's return policy, I was able to try out a few different boots before finding the perfect fit in the Fastlanes. These were hands down the most comfortable boots I tried. They're comfortable enough that you can wear them around all day without worrying about blisters and hurt feet.
They feel a lot more protective than other low priced options geared towards everyday use. One of the boots I tried, the SM-X 1, had better toe protection, but my feet didn't feel secure in the boot at all. Toe protection won't do me any good if my boots are flying off. The fastlanes felt much more secure around my ankle and thoughout the rest of the boot.
Though style shouldn't be your #1 concern when finding protective gear, the Fastlanes took top marks in my book compared to others. You can easily wear these around with jeans and feel normal.
Sizing is true, maybe slightly large. I wear 12 in Chuck Taylors and 13 in most other shoes. Got a 12.5 and it was a perfect fit.

By far the best riding shoe that I have owned.
The shoe is extremely comfortable and does what I bought it to do which is to use it off and on the bike. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a sporty beginner riding shoe.

Stylish, multi functional.
I love these shoes. They are very stylish, decently protective and most importantly, quite thin and flexible.
When I bought these I was specifically looking for shoes I can ride and drive in. (Recently got myself a Subaru BRZ ^.^) Great feedback on the bike and from the clutch/brake pedals on my car.
There are a lot of high viz shoes out there now but to me most of them SCREAM "Look at me" which makes me cringe. These are bright (Black/White/Yellow version) and very attractive without screaming at you.
These are my first Alphinestar gear I've ever purchased and I am definitely buying going to try more after this.
I normally wear 9 wide or 9.5 and a 9.5 pair of these fit slightly narrow but still great.

Not much shoe for the money
Cons: These fit large on my size 13 feet. There is so much shoe lace left it dangles almost to the bottom of the shoe. The strap is also way to big and hangs over in the way. There is almost nothing padding and sole wise. After resting on the pegs for over an hour my feet start to hurt and just hope you don't have to walk around anywhere. After several rides I put these up and just use my old leather work boots.
Pros: They have a decent style to them.

Best in town shoes out there
I grabbed these for riding around town and for short city to city rides. They're great for on and off the bike. I can walk around all day or ride around all day and never experience any discomfort. Great feel on the bike controls. With a pair of jeans they look familiar to a pair of pumas (just with a better colour design).
