If the boot fits, wear it!
Want to stay planted on your pegs? Want to stay dry? Like to get off the beaten path or take the road less traveled? Well, these are the boots for you!
It was between the Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex and the Toucan's and the Toucans won out for a variety of reasons:
FITMENT/COMFORT: Sidi boots fit a narrow foot shape. If you're like me, and want something that you can wear for hours or days on end without regretting it, the Toucans fit a wider foot shape MUCH more comfortably. Go with whatever boot/shoe size you usually wear, because A-Stars boots fit like you expect without guessing on the sizes, and man are they comfortable.
FEATURES: Great material and build quality, Gore-Tex, hinged heel and armor that you don't really notice is even there, self-cleaning buckles, sole that grabs the pegs and more. These boots have everything you're looking for.
PRICE: At more than $150 less than the Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex boots, it's a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

I'm a size 9.5, bought size 10. Not a loose fit but roomy and very comfortable. 100% water proof so far.

Excellent boots
Excellent boots: perfect for dual sport riding.
I road through a torrential downpour for 1 hour and my feet stayed absolutely dry.
They can get a bit warm but I didn't find it to much of an issue.

Very Comfortable!
I have had these boots for 6 weeks now, and have been on 10 rides with them. The first impression I have is that they were incredibly comfortable right out of the box. Once you get used to the buckles they are very easy to get on and even easier to get off. They are true to size, are incredibly warm, and despite being a big boot (mine are size 13) shifting is still relatively easy. I haven't had exposure to rain yet, so cant comment on the waterproof factor, but other reviews seem to give them a high rating. They are premium priced but everything about them seems to be of the highest quality available. I would highly recommend them (so far).

More than 3000 km - Love them
Solid, confortable, dry and everything you want from a aolid/semi-solid boot.
Riding in dry, wet and dirt conditions is just perfect. Don't take them too large they fit just fine your regular size.

Boots are as advertised.
I have been riding with these boots once or twice a week for the last 2 months. They have kept my feet warm and dry in cold and wet conditions. Expensive but good.

Excellent boots!
Got these boots based on reviews and how they fit. They fit as sized. Lots of room. Fit wide feet, high arches and large legs well. Only have worn these boots and haven't ridden with them. But will take care of that asap. Would recommend them.

Solid, built to last.
The boot is as good as the reviews state, well made and built to last.
The fit is wider than the Sidi's however don't expect a EE width.

Questions
i got wide feets if i order and it doesnt fit properly can i ship back and get a refund or how does it work ?
I Have moderately wide feet , too, and The Toucan Gore-Tex boots fit snugly but acceptably well for me. I am a size 10, wide, or a 44.5 euro or preferrably 45 euro.
I happened to also buy a pair of Alpinestar Belize boots also in 44.5 from Fortnine, and by way of comparison, they fit smaller, and narrower . I had to use a shoe stretcher, and they are less roomy in the toe box. I will need this socks. I would have gone up a half size if they had it. So i would say the Toucan is a reasonable bet . They are really nice boots, and I find 2 buckle boots or side zip boots like the Gaerne I also wear as suitable . I haven't tried to return any, although I should have returned the Belize boots, But the instructions are there on the website if you find that necessary.
