Fair enough. I've not seen them in the flesh. But still, I'll stick to boots.
I get scared of my foot being crushed under the bike. Or twisting an ankle, I near did that when I put my foot down funny once, but my boots held my ankle in line.

True they might not help with that or protect your shin. But imo they are a summer choice instead of regular trainers /non-bike boots with limited or no protection - ie a substitute for normal shoes, not proper bike boots.
I've got a pair of the TCX S-Street* WP which are similar. Don't know about the A* but I assume like the TCX and StylMartin versions they have ankle protection baked in both sides plus a hard toe/heal.
Mine are pretty beef. Although if I was to buy a new pair I'd probably choose the non-WP version as they are meant to be cooler and I'd choose other footwear if rain was a concern.
*A pair of the leather S-Street are going cheap on ebay at the moment.

these are well made. they're not just trainers made by a company who specialise in motorcycle clothing wanting to put their logo on something else (they sell board shorts and hoddies for that). reinforcement in all the right places. yeah, not for a long tour but perfect for round town.
