【elf shoes】S17 [SYNTHESE17] Shoes Review
I think it is quite cosy.
Design, function and price are all good.
My shoe Size in daily life is 26cm to 26.5cm. The length of this ElfS17 is 26cm, and the comfort is just right. However, the width of the instep is narrow, and the area of the small toe feels a little bit painful during long-distance touring. I considered returning them, but I found thin cowhide insoles on Amazon, so I immediately purchased them and put them on.
Sole has good hardness and slip resistance. Even if you step on the side stand, the sole is firm and hard.
To hasten to add, there was no sense of tiredness in the legs after two hours of continuous driving.
The BOASystem is useful, but I wonder how long the Dial lock part will last? If it lasts about 3 years, I'll be happy with the price.
I have not yet driven in the rain, so I have not yet confirmed the effectiveness of the Waterproof breathability function, but I will report back.

Outclassing Fit feeling.
First of all, please understand that these are the impressions of a novice Rider CUB rider who just bought a 250cc last year (2022).
This is my first purchase of Riding shoes, so the comparison will be with regular shoes.
The sense of security when wearing the shoes, the ease of tightening the laces due to the BOA, and the ease of Shift operation due to the reinforced toe are on another level.
As others have said, the toes are a little thick, so it takes a little getting used to, but even with that, I can operate Shift TIGHTLY and Neutral, which I had been struggling with, came out quickly.
Anyway, the ease of detachment by BOA is the best, and this alone makes the choice worthwhile.
I usually wear 25.5 3E, but I made 26cm considering thick socks for winter, the toe is a little large, but I feel it is not Oversized because of BOA.

easy to walk
Touring use.
Perfect for walking around in tourist areas.
They are easy to walk in and ankle-supporting, so you don't have to worry about falling down.
I have been wearing them for a long time without any breakage, and I think they are reasonably durable.
