You can't expect water resistance from an ankle height motorcycle shoe that consists one third of mesh. That same 3D-mesh is cleverly alternated with microfibre, so that the exterior still achieves a high degree of wear resistance.
The Breeze 2.0 is clearly not averse to a bit of sportiness, although within the bounds of style. The shifting reinforcement is an extra layer of microfibre and the relatively wide velcro strip that is hidden at the lace ends, are elements that will make this motorcycle shoe end up in the 'leisure' or 'touring' categories more quickly. Part of the protective material is also on the outside: two plastic ankle plates (polyamide) provide 'high' protection, while a reinforced heel is responsible for the 'low-side' protection.
This balance is reliable. At the back of the shaft, you'll find a pull tab, under the recess that protects possibly delicate Achilles’ tendons. The Breeze 2.0 features reflective detailing for better visibility, and these perfectly legal motorcycle boots meet the CE certification standard EN13634:2017
Under a pair of motorcycle jeans, this is a perfect shoe for versatile - albeit summer - use. Both men and women can and do walk the streets with these.
