In Italy, they know a thing or two about warm weather and big cities. Both come together in this 'urban' Airforce Lady to form a pleasant and comfortable ankle-high motorbike shoe. Especially when temperature rise.
In Italy they also say they know something about the ladies. And when it comes to shoes, we tend to believe them.
In essence, the Airforce Lady, just like the male version, is all about ventilation and breathability. On the outside, perforated 3D-mesh is used as a change to "Micro-Synth" suede, which means that the wind can easily find its way in. Beyond the already ventilated lining. This combination of ventilated materials results in a light motorcycle shoe, although we must add that no concessions have been made in terms of safety. Everything that should be present, is present.
Starting with the D3O® cup on the inside of the ankle. The toe, heel and outside of the ankle are not remarkably equipped with protectors, but together they provide a sturdy whole in this Airforce Lady. Sturdier than you might suspect. The stable, hard rubber anti-slip sole undoubtedly plays its part.
In this lady’s version, the sole is higher than in the male version of the Airforce Lady. An extra half centimeter at the heel leaves room for that extra bit of style. With the Airforce Lady, Gianni Falco delivers a real summery motorcycle shoe. One that – considering the paragraph on ventilation – is not waterproof. Again: this is a sneaker. An ankle-high motorcycle shoe for the city. You won't defy a MotoGP in these. The ankle height of the Airforce Lady is on the narrow side, by the way. Let's keep it to the lower half of the ankle, which is still perfectly acceptable.
You can make entry and exit as difficult or easy as you wish: laces are the way to go. The cut-out at the Achilles tendon, with underneath the triple but subtle reflection and the pull loop make 'easy entry' easy as ever. You can lead the laces all the way to the top, and when you make use of the fluorescent pink lace hole, you’d have to sit in a pretty strange position on the bike to get caught in or around something.
Comfortable, sufficiently firm and stylish, the Airforce Lady.
There is maintenance clothing, and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
