I think there is a problem with the service life.
I was looking for a pair of lightweight casual shoes for a short commute to work and short distances, and I found this product and purchased it last spring. (It is a mass merchandiser.) It was the end of September last month, after the second summer, when I took it out of the shoe box. The sole was not worn out at all, but it was not used very often. I am disappointed because I used to take out the Inner Sole every time, dry it in the shade overnight, and store it in the shoe box.
I reported the situation to Manufacturer and received the following response (This is a partial list.) 。
I am pleased to announce that ElfS17 (16.) We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the damage to the shift guard part of the
Our sincere apologies.
The material used in the Shift guard appears to be rapidly deteriorating and losing its flexibility.
Therefore, we will discuss with the production factory to review the strength and materials.
The product has been in use for more than 2 years. (It's been less than a year and a half.) If you would like, you can use your
It is possible to check on the actual item.
If you would like us to conduct an investigation, please send us the actual product.
That's all
If there is an announcement of a new product or a minor change in material to improve durability, etc., I will consider repurchasing, but if not, I will not be able to recommend it.

Size feels good, but the shift guard doesn't last a year.
I used to use FORMA Boots, but the width was slim and my feet sometimes hurt when touring for a long time, so I replaced them with SYNTHESE 17 last September.
I thought I had found a good pair of boots with a wide EEE width and a BOASystem that I could adjust to fit just right, but within a year the rubber part of the shift guard started to crack.
I don't know if it's a lot defect in the Rubber part, and I'm in a snowy area with anti-freeze salts and a humid climate, but I feel quite disappointed since my previous FORMA Boots had no problems after 2 years of use.
In the meantime, I will try to talk to ManufacturerSupport, but there is no warranty period etc., so I think I give up.
I will add any progress.

What kind of construction?
I bought these for the summer and have only used them a few times, but the rubber part of the GEAR's cover has broken off and the inside of the Shoes is completely exposed. How can they break so quickly? I probably won't buy this Manufacture again. View detail
Durability is difficult
Do not buy these Shoes!
I bought them and used them 3 times for PetitTouring and then for a few days for everyday wear.
The biggest problem is the durability, the Left Shifter has been cracking at the base in less than two weeks.
The purpose of these shoes is for riding shoes, which require more safety than ordinary sneakers, but with quality like this, they are clearly dangerous and cannot be used for motorcycling.
In the event of an accident or a fall, they may slip off and take your fingers or skin with them, or even if they do not slip off, they may easily take the entire leather of the shoe with them.
If this is the kind of quality that is being touted for synthetic leather from Japan, it can only be said that "Made in Japan" has fallen to the ground.
It is already clear to everyone that CHINA is a higher quality era, even if it is cheaper.

Unilateral cancellation after 2 weeks of ordering
After the order was confirmed to be shipped on the 100th day, I was informed that the item was missing and the order was cancelled unilaterally.
I can't rate anything about the product, but I can only judge the response as extremely poor.
