Extremely regrettable
In conclusion, this Boots is a design error.
Because the sole is flat, the foot does not go under the shift pedal well during SHIFT UP.
The Sole of the Boots is flat with no depression in the sole area.
The Image is like riding an on-road motorcycle with off-road boots, and the SHIFT UP is the worst.
When SHIFT UP, the toes need to be pointed down and under quite a bit.
I have tried with YZF-R1 and other TouringMotorcycle and it is very difficult to SHIFT UP.
Probably the same difficulty to SHIFT UP is found in Adventure type Motorcycle.
They are expensive Boots and easy to walk in and cool, but the SHIFT UP is the worst.
We had no choice but to raise the position of the Shift Pedal a little for R1, but it is fundamentally no good.
I have KUSHITANI's Boots and AlpineStar's SMX2, but these Boots do not operate the same way.
I cannot instantly SHIFT UP when I want to SHIFT UP.
It's a shame because it was an expensive purchase.

More expensive is not always better.
I had been using SMX Plus, which is the 2Grade higher grade, but I couldn't get used to the hardness and the hold feeling, so I replaced it with SMX-S. It is soft because it doesn't have a protector like SMX Plus, and the part that comes in contact with the car body is leather, so it is easy to feel the hold feeling. It is easy to recognize the feeling of holding. Although it is not as cool and luxurious as the SMX Plus, the SMX-S is much more practical in actual use. View detail
Excellent design and high functionality
At first they felt tight, but as I got used to wearing them, they fit my feet better. I think they are very well-made boots.
I like the GEARShift and Rear brake because I can feel the operation of the brake and my feet are protected firm and secure, and the design and functionality are simple but well integrated at a high level.

The toughness of genuine cowhide
Was the one you received as per Image?
I went to the mass merchandiser several times to examine the product, so it was just as I had imagined.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
When I tried them on, they didn't have the size I wanted, so in a way it was a gamble, but I ordered a 24.5 (the same size I normally use for shoes).
The fit feels just right with room for the toes, but I have the impression that the heel floats slightly when walking.
How was your experience with it?
As you would expect from genuine leather, it is hard and hurts in various places, but that's just how it is at first. It will take a few months or years to develop your own
I will make them fit my feet. By the way, I have been wearing Timberland loafers for over 25 years (3 pairs in total) for everyday wear.
I love them, but it takes about a year for them to completely adjust to my feet, and after that, I can wear them for 5 to 7 years.
I take it for granted that it takes patience to deal with leather products.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Nothing in particular
What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
I commute by motor cycle, so I chose the Swallow because it is simple in design and I use it every day.
How did it compare to other products?
Although I have not compared them, I decided to purchase them because they seem to be particular about the design of the heel.

Design and quality are both good
I was attracted by the design.
These Boots are softer than expected and easy to wear. You won't feel that they are made of thick leather.
I had the size exchanged even though the item was on order. I usually wear a 28~29 in Sneakers, but the 44 was the right size. 45 was a little too large.
Since this is an overseas product, it didn't have the usual thin and low instep feeling. I think the instep is rather higher than Japanese ones.
The leather scratches easily, but I look forward to wearing them and seeing them become more austere. On the other hand, I would not recommend it to those who do not like to get scratches, but I personally like it very much.

You have a problem with Size.
Actual foot measurement 25.0.
Usual shoe Size, Japanese 25.0, Western product 26.0 (41) 。
This is from someone who does not normally wear racing boots.
SMX PLUS V2 is happy with the choice of 41.
I had a chance to try on the 41 and 42 for a bit, and the 41 is just right in terms of foot size, but the last part of the Side fastener is quite tight.
At 42, it's not so hard to raise the fastener again, but there is more than enough to go around.
The calf part was quite flexible with the Ratchet mechanism.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to order 41 because of the free return policy.
The instruction manual shows that you can choose the Size It's hard at first, but you'll get used to it, so pick your Tight eye." It says something like.
In fact, looking at the product closely, there are many shirring parts and many moving protector parts, so I feel that the product will become much softer as you get used to it.
I think that if the size selection is too loose, Protection will not work well.
I don't think the toes should hit the floor.
Fit feeling is very good with InnerBootsSpec. that does not come off.
At first I thought it might be too Tight, but as I was wearing it 'Oh, it's not tight, it's Fit. It's going to be like that.
The overall PROTECTION is high and reassuring.
Ankle movement is much more restricted than with riding shoes, so if you are not used to these boots, you should bend over a lot to get used to them before riding them.
The heel part is very small and not suitable for walking with full swing of Protection.
When I walk at a good pace, I feel like I might slip and fall on my heels on the Toilet in the ServiceArea.
When it falls over, it will slide nicely without getting caught on the road surface.
Racing boots with high protection are difficult to bend in the direction of extending the toes, which may cause poor footing.
We are 166cm tall and have short legs.
Design is super cool.
The quality is high and there are no problems at all.

DEGNERLeather boots
The leather is soft and feels very good.
The toes play a little, but it is not a problem.
View detail
High instep, please note.
The leather is homogeneous and nice, but the surface is LusterLuster and looks like synthetic leather, so a quick look may not be to your liking, but it is safe to say that it is resistant to friction when it falls over.
The gold material of the laces is a simple round shape, which is not as luxurious as other companies' boots, but I would say that it is appropriate considering the price. 。 However, the location of the holes is not consistent, and it is worrisome to notice (first and second pictures).
When I actually tried them on, I felt that the size was neither large nor small (I usually wear 25.5 to 26.0, the ones I bought were 26.0). 。 I have a slightly high instep, and the raised bone on the back of my foot hits the seam on the instep of the Boots (3rd photo), so it hurts a bit. 。 Some Boots from other companies don't hit me as hard, so maybe it's not a good match for my feet.
The diagonal cut of the heel does not feel so merit to be honest, perhaps because I am wearing it to the bottom of the footpeg. 。 I would have preferred a diagonal cut to the root of the heel anyway, but I like it for its originality and ingenuity.
There are some minor complaints, but considering the Cost performance, I think the Quality is satisfactory enough.

Need to break in
I chose 43 with my normal Sneakers 27cm and it was just right.
Synthetic leather and flexible, but quite sturdy and stiff if not worn in.
Flat Suede fabric on the inner foot side for a good hold feel.
Of course, it is a double-layered structure, so it is troublesome to take off and put on.
The tightness of the hems makes them suitable for wearing with a leather suit, but not for wearing with Jeans or Boots out.
The opening of the Rubber Jar Ring is cool, but ventilation is not good and hot, probably due to the double-layer construction.

The quality is excellent.
Don't compare it to cheap ones. The quality is so good. The size seems a bit large. Foot width is small. You can buy it as a politician. View detail
![GVectorX-OVER[X-Over] Boots GSM1055](https://img.webike-cdn.net/catalogue/images/109538/GSM1055_1_TS.jpg)
Good workmanship. If only it came in 28.5cm...
My feet are 28.5cm 4E in RunningShoes and I have a high instep, so I always have trouble finding boots that fit.
I searched quite a bit and finally found one that didn't seem to hurt my instep.
However, after the 28cm, the next size was 29cm. I thought it was a little too large, but I bought the 29cm.
I tried them on and they are still a little too large.
The good thing is that the soles are Vibram sole, so you can do a bit of hiking in the mountains at your touring destination.
It is well made.
On the other hand, since the Vibram sole has a good grip, I feel the footpeg catching on the footpeg when I move my foot, even though I can easily make a shift change if I am wearing riding shoes.
However, I think Merit is more Level for long touring.

Just fit
Look at the Review. It was JUST the same size 26.5 as usual.
After about a week, it became softer and more fit.
I also wanted to get a Black one in a different color.

Would it be better if they could accommodate a high instep?
I bought these for winter with my normal Size 26cm. I have a high instep, so there is some catching when putting them on and after putting them on. The texture and design are good, and I am satisfied with the cold weather. View detail
That's what I'm talking about
I haven't tried the Touring season yet, but the design is good.
I think the fit is quite good. If you put the insoles in JUST before you walk, your feet don't move inside and it's perfect for Riding, isn't it? And …
I look forward to trying it in the spring.

Multifunctional and easy to use
I guess it depends on each person, but I don't feel the stiffness that I have seen in other impressions.
It is not leather, so it is soft there from the beginning.
The soles are Vibram sole, so you can stand on them quite well.
As shown in the photo, the zipper section is folded over rather than cut in, so it is waterproof.
If I sweep two socks, I can get by even in the middle of winter.
Plus 0.5 size up is recommended for two socks.

Highest Grade Boots SUPERTEC
I wore SMXPlus in Alpine Repeater and the size feel is fine in the same size 42. The toe part is a little high in comparison, so you may need to adjust the Shift Pedal. The design has a luxurious feel and since plastic is not used on the inside, the footpeg will not get scratched. The inner part of the detachable inner sole serves as an ankle hold, and the outer part is very soft.
The price is not cheap, but it is good for safety and good-looking motorcycle riding.

Ideal for Touring. Walking is not difficult.
Boots with a fancy design would have floated away in touring, but I still wanted to wear racing boots, so I bought these boots with a simple design. The leather is soft and flexible, so it is easy to shift and easy to walk after getting off the motorcycle. View detail
I wore them to Hokkaido Touring.
I bought GAERNE's Tough gear because it looks like it would be hell (in terms of waterproof) when touring in Hokkaido.
It is not suitable for everyday use at all, but it was waterproof because it did not get soaked in large rainstorms and dense fog in Hokkaido (with a rain jacket).

Super high cut to keep your feet warm
I was looking for new Shoes/Boots to keep my feet cool in the winter.
I wanted a high cut, waterproof, round and round turning Dial for Motorcycle, and these Boots fulfilled all my needs.
The size I purchased is 26.0cm. My normal Sneakers are 25.5cm, so I went up one size.
I wore thick winter socks and the size was just right.
The two Dials made it easy to adjust the Fit and easy to put on and take off.
Wrapping the high cut part with the hem of winter pants (Velcro adjustable) kept me warm without any wind coming in during the ride.
Shift change was done without any problem even in new condition.
The high cut design gives the ankle a sense of protection and peace of mind.
As far as I could find, there was only one color Black, but I think it would be perfect if there were color variations.
I was able to buy good winter Boots at Webike.
