Durable and indeed protects shoes, athletic and dress shoes. With thick shoes (boots), it is not suitable for use, as it does not leave enough room for increasing speed.

I used the older model of Tucano Urbano for 13-14 years, which was black with a footprint design, and I was looking to find the same one but I couldn't, so I bought the "bird". Although it doesn't have the amazing ergonomics of the previous one, it is still very helpful for protecting the shoe and for ease of changing gears without "cutting" your foot. And of course, it is more beautiful! I recommend it
