Dainese Energyca Air Ladies Motorcycle Shoes

These shoes are well-ventilated (you can feel air streaming through your toes) while riding but they're not very comfortable and too hot for urban walking in hot summer weather. In addition, I expected leather and suede to be softer and more flexible but the feet are so immobilised that you feel like you're wearing hard snowboarding shoes. I usually wear size 39 but since I'm short and tiptoe on my sportbike, I chose a larger size to find greater balance. Size 40 is ideal for 25 cm long feet (you can also choose size 39 if you don't tiptoe). Another disappointment was that these shoes were delivered from Italy, so I expected them to be made in Italy. However, the label says "Made in Taiwan" (which raises concerns about the quality of materials). Finally, while the white suede design is appealing, it is prone to staining. I had to put my side stand up and down several times. The spring of the side stand was a little bit oily/lubricated and the white section of the shoe became stained. It was really difficult to remove such stain after the first ride, so think twice before choosing white colour. By the way, the upper part of the shoe, which is used to shift gears, is soft (you feel as if you're shifting gears with your foot bones) which is also not very comfortable and strange at first. But, in general, I can give these shoes 3 star rating.
