This ankle-high, summer motorcycle shoe by GIANNI FALCO is largely a micro-synthetic, leather exterior responsible for its wear-resistant qualities.
The better you look, the more relief you’ll notice because there are extra layers on the heel, toe and ankle that give the entire shoe a more robust appearance. This is quite okay because even though the GIANNI FALCO Ace is a summer shoe barely covering the ankle, the Italians also integrated a water-repelling High-Tex membrane. ‘Water-repelling’, not waterproof, because ankle-high shoes shouldn’t be ambitious when it comes to waterproofness, and because GIANNI FALCO’s reference is usually the Italian weather.
The dual-compound vulcanised rubber sole acts as a solid base. Also to walk around a little, without motorcycle near. The areas of the heel, toes and ankle are all supplied with internal reinforcements. In the back, these are the tried and tested D3O® inserts we know from the rest of the GIANNI FALCO range. D3O® stays flexible under normal conditions and becomes harder upon impact.
Getting into the Ace can go in one of two ways. The lace ends can be securely tucked away in the tongue of the motorcycle shoe, which prevents them from hooking behind a gear lever or front brake. Or, you could also use the vertical zipper on the inside of each Ace. In the back, this motorcycle shoe spares your Achilles’ heel and a pull tab gives a helping hand where needed.
The Ace motorcycle shoe by GIANNI FALCO is a low and low-threshold, smooth, relatively neutral motorcycle shoe for commuters, urbanites or summer riders. They are available in a version for men and – another one – for women.
