【elf shoes】S17 [SYNTHESE 17] Shoes Review
High basic performance and various useful functions
GEAR Change leverGuard, ankleGuard and other basic features required for HalfBootsType Riding shoes are very high, so you can wear them with a sense of security. The thick and sturdy VelcroTape belt that controls the ankle tightness is not fixed to the shoes, but is a separate unit, and its length and position can also be decided. The length and position of the Belt itself can be decided at will, making it very flexible. The thickness of the socks, the presence of an ankle warmer, and the position of the pedal varies depending on the motorcycle, so the tightness of the ankle Belt needs to be adjusted each time you ride. This ankle Belt system is a very good point.
Taking them on and off is very easy with the BOASystem. There are many other shoes with similar systems, and I think their functions are almost the same, but elf's BOASystem has a Large resistance when you pull the Button to cause the Flap, and I think the Nylon string is about to break. (I don't think it will ever actually run out.) So, I am a little nervous. It feels good to push the Button in and turn it crisply to fine-tune the tightness when I put them on.
I think the shoes are just the right size. I usually wear 26.0 to 26.5, so I chose 26.5 for these shoes and they are just right. I have a 3E high instep foot, but I can cope with it by extending the BOA nylon laces.

Toe section too thick
Holdability of the ankle area is very good, but it is difficult to operate with a vengeance.
Thick from the toe to the instep, making it difficult to insert the Shift when moving up.

I went from EXA11 to this.
If you open the BOA and remove the Velcro, the large opening makes it very easy to put on and take off the shoes.
The feeling of being protected around the ankles also looks good.
Shift change and Brake's Touch are also good.
After getting off the Motorcycle, walking is easy.
If you loosen the Velcro only a little, you can walk more comfortably.
Sneakers and leather shoes etc. wear 25.5-26.5cm.
The EXA11 I was wearing before was too Exactly at 26.0cm, so I decided to go with 26.5cm.
It was the best with a good amount of room.
It is acceptable, but a lower price would be appreciated.
