Excellent Sports touringShoes
ShoesVERSION of Sports touringBoots
Once you use the Boa Claw Jar, you won't be able to wear Shoes without it!
Equipped with a toe SIDE Slider, the rigidity of the heel portion is a very spirited creation.
The sole has an indentation that allows the shoes to be hung on the footpeg for easy running.
When running, the Cowl does not receive wind, but when the foot is outside the Cowl, outside air can be drawn into the Shoes through the Air Intake hole.
High cut so the legs are not unnecessarily exposed and protected from Engine heat.
When driving, however, they are excellent riding shoes,
The entrance is narrow and taking them on and off is Large strange anyway.
Ankle rubs against the outer side of Shoes entrance when walking
Hamper rubbing,, very painful.
Wrist band on ankle to wear kobo Shoes

Fit feeling is great!
The ankle area is thicker than I expected, but it's for motorcycling and to protect the ankles, so I had to go with that.
The BOASystem is also easy and very easy to take on and off. The maneuverability is excellent, but the Sole seems poor.

For Summer Touring
[How is it used?
Purchased for heat protection during summer touring

How was your experience with it?
I usually use KadoyaBlack ankle or GAERNE145.
Compared to them, the sense of security of being protected is less secure.
Well, I think it's comfort and TradeOff.
The size is in increments of 1 cm, so it's hard to choose, but since it's a large size, it's a good choice.
I am 26.5 cm and I chose 26 cm and had no problem.
The coolness is cooler than the two mentioned above as aimed
The toe is soft, so if you use a Motorcycle with a hard Change Pedal, it may hurt your feet.
The design is good for everyday wear!
[Included Parts:were they on?

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
The attached shoelaces are White, so they are dirty.
The Left leg has a Shoelace hole for the attached ShiftCover.
One less strap, so there will be an extra strap on the Left leg, if you are concerned about it.
Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) The length of the string needs to be changed with
Compared to the aforementioned Boots, the soles are thinner.
The feel of the footpeg is direct.
A little scary when you run to scrape the footpeg at the Corner.

I was looking for MotorcycleSneakers that I could use on a daily basis, and when I found this one, it was love at first sight.

Gorgeous vans
Compared to Dainese's MetroPOLICE, the Size feel is similar.
The style is like vans, but the fabric is thick without looking cheap, the entire shoe is rigid, the sole is hard, and the functionality as riding shoes is sufficient.
For those who want to ride in everyday clothes or for those who want a rugged vans, this is a must-recommendation!

Was the one you received as per Image?
They were exactly as shown in the Image. They look more like regular OutdoorShoes than they look in the picture, so I might recommend them to those who want something that doesn't look like something for Motorcycle.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
I have no complaints with the Wide Size foot that doesn't fit my narrow shoes, and it's a loose fit that isn't too tight on my feet.
SYNTHESE was JUST the same Size in all the Series used.
How was your experience with it?
It was the first BOA shoe I purchased, but I was captivated by the comfort of both removal and adjustment compared to Magic tape.
I actually used it in a downpour, but my socks did not get wet at all and the waterproofing was perfect.
However, it is a little hot except when driving, so it may be stuffy in the summer.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None in particular.
What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
They are gussied up and feel safe to ride in, without the kind of feeling that comes over a piece of cloth in regular athletic shoes.
The inside of the ankle is not Hard protector either, so you don't have to worry about rubbing on your Motorcycle like the ones you used to use.
How did it compare to other products?
Compared to the products of other manufacturers, we expect that the new products, like the SYNTHESESeries we have used in the past, seem to be made to be durable.
The Sole is the same as the SYNTHESE 14, which has an amazing reputation for durability. It is not expected to wear out quickly even if you walk quite a bit.
[Others]
The ankle Belt portion can be easily removed, so the BOA can be used alone, as in SYNTHESE 16.
It is slightly taller than SYNTHESE14 in the area covering the ankle.

Shifted from SYNTHESE14
The buckle of SYNTHESE14 broke from the root, so I decided to make the newest one and chose this one.
BOASystem is a bashful decision if you don't take the hassle into account, so that's good.
However, I personally preferred the one-punch with Buckle.
The car has not been driven in the rain, so leaks, etc. are unknown.

Easy to operate
I bought it because it is hot in summer with Riding boots and I wanted Shoes. when I drive Motorcycle, the operation of GEAR and BRAKE is Smooth and easier to drive than Boots. When I get off the motorcycle and walk, they are no different from my regular Sneakers. View detail
I am amazed at how easy it is to walk.
I was surprised at the ease of walking in the shoes themselves, although it is a given that they are easy to put on and take off since they are BOASystem.
The size is the same as the actual size of my foot, and once I got used to wearing it, it became even better. The feeling of stuffiness is acceptable, but I haven't checked the waterproof performance yet.

Individual differences or...?
As mentioned in other reviews, the Shift PedalProtector cracked. I bought it last year, put it in hibernation for 6 months, and just started wearing it today (bought a year ago, less than 6 months of actual use) and this is what happened.
Only city touring, Zero for hard sports riding, and of course Zero for Off.
The only thing I can think of is storage conditions or quality issues, and if the others are the same, then it's the latter,
It's a shame because I have no problem with the comfort of the shoes, etc. I have another pair and would like to be careful about recurrence.

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
I am satisfied.
It has a slightly thick bottom, but the BOA Fitting makes it easy to adjust. We are looking forward to seeing how much warmth it retains in the winter. View detail
It is a quintessential Brand product.
I'm usually a 26.5 and these were just right for me at 27.0. They are expensive and the shape and comfort are outstanding.
However, the feeling of using the Magic band is not good balance and it takes time to put it on and take it off each time, but I don't mind if the string is normally held by the band.
Breathability should not be expected, so Knit may be a good choice for summer use.

It's good.
I was going to buy something else, but they were sold out, so I bought these. I had worn Elf shoes before but the heel fell off. They last great and are Reasonable. I'm glad I bought them. View detail
Durability ×
I like the Casual design, but the place where the Shift Pedal hits the back of the Left foot is fraying quickly. View detail
A little Tight.
I chose the 9in size because the Manufacturer's shoes in Japan are 26.5cm, but they are a little tight, especially in the foot width direction, and I feel they are a little tight. However, 9.5in is too large for me, so if you are tight, you might want to choose 0.5in larger size.
Protection is about Sneakers+α, and I wish the protection of the instep of the left foot, especially when SHIFT UP, was a little stiffer.
The sole of the GizaGiza is Large-sized, and it can be said that it prioritizes slip resistance over operational feel. In this respect, too, it is similar to Sneakers.

I thought it would be better to use a regular Size.
I usually wear 26.5cm shoes and 27.0cm Nike shoes.
Usually Size is recommended.
As for the Shoes, they are rather bulky and well-made, but I guess safety is a priority.

Anyway it is light
I was considering replacing my own footwear this year, and when I saw the actual product at the Motorcycle Show, I decided to purchase it.
When I actually tried them on, I realized that they are just so light!
This is already enough.

Racing boots Short version
Was the one you received as per Image?
I even tried it on in an actual store, so it was just like the Image.
It has a Rubber Belt with Velcro fastening on the instep,
There was not much difference whether this was loosened or tightened, and it was almost like an accent on the design.
The side fastener is a watertight Type and requires a lot of force to close.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
Alpinestars shoes fit the shape of my feet, so I didn't have a problem with the large size.
These shoes are like a shortened version of racing boots and are generally stiffer as they seem to emphasize protection rather than comfort.
First I rode Motorcycle all day and the back of my Left foot hit a little on SHIFT UP and it hurt.
However, this is a matter of individual difference and habituation, and I did not feel any pain after the second time.
I think the flexibility will improve a bit with use.
Also, since the size may differ slightly depending on the model, we recommend that you try on the product before purchasing if possible.
I have purchased the following sizes of Alpinestars shoes and they all fit just right.
SP-1 SHOES 40
RIDGE V2 DRYSTAR BOOT 41
FIRM DRYSTAR BOOT 40.5
SMX1-R V2 VENTED BOOT 41
How was your experience with it?
The ease of gear changing is also no problem, and you always feel a sense of security that your feet are protected.
On the other hand, the sole does not bend as much as ski boots, so walking after getting off the motorcycle is a bit uncomfortable.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I chose the Ventilation oriented Type because I bought it for summer,
Although I could feel the airflow around my ankles, I could not feel the ventilation in my feet as much as I would have liked.
I also noticed that the belt on the instep was mostly decorative, and the fastener was difficult to tighten.
I think it would be much better if you could put a leather tag on the fastener to make it easier to pull, so I expect improvement.
However, the concept may be that they don't want to put something that will interfere with driving rather than something that is easy to put on and take off...
What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
The whole shoe is like a Protector. w
The toe and heel have a stiff cup shape and the Sole does not bend easily.
Naturally, the area where the Shift hits is reinforced, and there is also a pad in the ankle area.
Also, the SIDE part of the foot has a resin slider, which can be replaced if it gets worn out.
If you are going to run the car in such a way that you have to replace the cores, I think you should honestly put on racing boots.
We believe this is Attachment. (Parenthesis nice w)
How did it compare to other products?
I had actually planned to buy the MODELSP-2, the successor to the AlpinestarsSP-1 that I had been using.
The BOASystem, which I had longed for, was installed, and I thought this was the only way to go, but when I actually tried it on, I found that the foot space was too narrow.
Even with the BOA loosened, it was very Large strange to put on and take off.
The BOASystem Merit, which makes it easier to put on and take off, did not live up to it at all, and the high price made us abandon the project.
The result was a pair of shoes that fit the criteria of having a sporty feel and good protection.
I bought this one
Opinions and Requests to the ▼Manufacturer
Please hurry up and bring out the SP-3 with BOASystem, which is easier to put on and take off and has a better parenthesis!

Riding shoes for comfortable touring!
Was the one you received as per Image?
I was really torn between black and khaki, but even the khaki is a nice black tone, so it's nice and subtle!
[How did you feel about the Fit?
I am an Exactly comfortable 28.0cm in SYNTHESE 16, but the 17 also feels fine in 28.0cm as well!
The NIKE shoes I usually wear are Large body 29.0 cm, but SYNTHESE have a good width, so it is not a problem!
Riding shoes are only available in large sizes up to 28.0 cm, so you may be a bit nervous, but you won't be disappointed!
How was your experience with it?
At the beginning of use, the part of the Left leg that touches the GEAR is quite firm, so I felt worried whether I could touch the GEAR properly, but after an hour of riding, I soon got used to it!
I used it on a 300 km touring trip and it made a world of difference in how tired my legs were! The feeling of control is good and the Large change is easy.
As a side note, I thought the Cushion nature might be a little less than a half hour walk, but I was able to walk without any discomfort.
What are the specifications of the product?
First of all, the Motorcycle feel is great, the rubber in the position where it hits the GEAR, the soles with good grip, and the feeling that everything is made for riding is great.
Also, since it is a BOASystem, you don't have to worry about the Shoe String, and you can fine-tune it so that you can loosen it slightly when you get tired and it will always be a comfortable shoe for you.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Not really!
How did it compare to other products?
The SYNTHESE 16 is cooler, but the SYNTHESE 17 can also be made more like boots or shoes by adjusting the Magic tape at the top, so I think the SYNTHESE 17 would be a good first choice.
