This third version of the suede motorcycle shoe named Ginza 3 is a style choice. Without question. It's safer and smarter than wearing your neutral lumberjack boots on your motorcycle.
It will also be a lot more pleasant. The Ginza 3 is an update, and those familiar with the model will notice in this third version the even better fit and the shorter 'we'll set completely to the shape of your feet' period.
The suede outer layer is definitely a winner. With the leather trim at the top of the shaft and the sturdy lacing eyelets, these are boots. But, boots with a CE-certified arsenal of protective materials. Or what do you think of the ankle cup, the reinforced side, the extra reinforcements on the toes, heel and - again - ankles. A preformed toe cup, a preformed heel cup and shifter reinforcement.
In addition to being protective, this is also very comfortable. You can take a serious city stroll in these, in all comfort. This is ensured, among other things, by the Ortholite insole. A day at the office is no problem. Or a longer ride on your motorcycle. In fact, with the Ginza 3 you can literally and figuratively do anything. On a sturdy sole with a striking pattern.
Waterproofing is a tricky one. It always is with leather footwear and ankle-high shoes. And the Ginza 3 is actually both. You don't have to worry a lot at the sight of drops, but whether you really want to ride in the rain for a whole day ... Now, these Ginza 3 motorcycle shoes are not made for that. They fit into a city concept, a commuter idea, the boundary between motorcycling and everyday life that is separated from that.
With these, you get on the bus. Into the car. And on the motorbike. Without having to change. The laces run high, just like the tongue of the shoe, so rest assured that unless you do something really crazy, you can avoid getting caught behind your footrest, your gear lever or your foot brake.
