Gaerne G. Tornado Road Cycling ShoesFrom a long training ride to short intense intervals to racing to sportives, the Gaerne G. Tornado Road Cycling Shoes provide the perfect balance of all-day comfort and pedalling performance for the keen cyclist. The G. Tornado Road Cycling Shoes feature a supple microfibre upper and when paired with the 'Comfort-Fit' tongue you'll revel in the support and comfort these high-performance shoes offer. A generous amount of ventilation holes across the upper ensure cool feet when the heat rises and this is complemented by the micro-perforated 'Transpiration Insole'. Not only does the insole provide perfect foot support it allows for easy circulation of fresh air over the whole foot. The integrated heel-cup features both an anti-slip grip and an anti-tendonitis shape for an exceptional foothold and total comfort as you apply the power. To customise the fit and feel of the shoes, nothing could be simpler than a twist of the BOA L6 dial. Smooth running guides apply even pressure where you need it, creating a stable and comfortable pedalling platform which is also adjustable on the go. And without straps or laces to obstruct airflow, the front of the foot is kept cool through the perforated tongue. EPS Carbon Power Sole 8.0The carbon/nylon composite construction of the EPS Carbon Power Sole 8.0 creates a stiff platform through which to apply your power to the pedals, However, rated at 8 out of 12 for stiffness, it still has enough spring to provide comfort over long cycling distances. Support in the plantar arch area keeps the foot stable throughout the pedal stroke while 5 air vents provide cooling airflow to the sole. An interchangeable rear pad and anti-slip toe insert both work to keep you stable when you're off the bike. Cleat GuidanceThese Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.Features:Transpiration InsoleAn integrated anti-slip heel cupAir ventilation systemBoa L6 closure systemComfort-fit tongueEPS Carbon Power Sole 8.08/12 Stiffness ratingWeight: 273g (size 43)3-bolt cleat compatibleBuy Gaerne Footwear from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
SIDI’s TECHNO-3 SYSTEM dials in fit along the entire length of the shoe, adapting the upper to the shape of the foot for a customized fit.

The Torch 2.0 Road shoes are all about comfort—well comfort and performance that is. Due to the materials road shoes often feel stiff and uncomfortable. We decided to address this annoyance head on though. To do so we've implemented a 100% mesh and TPU construction on the Torch 2.0 that allows for more wiggle room in the toe box and a less constrictive sock-like feel. The upper is then paired with our medium-stiffness FACT carbon sole and a rubber heel and toe that provide the perfect degree of off-the-bike traction. For the closure we added a single lightweight Boa® IP1 dial that features tool-free snap replacement capability while also providing simple on-the-fly micro-adjustments.Body Geometry sole construction and footbeds are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power increase efficiency and reduce chance of injury by optimizing hip knee and foot alignment.Carbon sole with a 7.0 Stiffness Index is engineered to be moderately stiff yet light with a rubber heel and toe for off-the-bike traction.Lightweight Boa® IP1 dial closure for on-the-fly micro-adjustment backed by the Boa® Lifetime Guarantee.Mesh and TPU upper for a supple fit.Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals.Approximate weight: 235g (1/2 pair Size 42)

Bont Cycling Blitz, 100% carbon, heat moldable road shoe that’s ready to race. With industry leading anatomical features and a sub 235gram weight, the Blitz redefines the standards of mid level road cycling shoes. Microfiber Upper Is Utilized Microfiber upper is used to provide the Bont Blitz with a strong outer layer to withstand the rigours of everyday cycling whilst mesh inserts assist with the breathability of the cycling shoes. Carbon Construction The carbon construction of the Blitz base has been designed to ensure maximum performance at class leading weight. In addition, the stack height of the base has been decreased to 3.6mm to further improve efficiency. Retention System Velcro forefoot strap and BOA dials have been integrated to improve retention and ease of adjustment. Ventilation The Bont Blitz is highly ventilated via integrated top mesh panels and ventilation holes throughout the side microfiber panels. Anti Stretch Between the outer leather and the liner we add a material that is proprietary to Bont to stop the cycling shoe from stretching over time. This material has similar strength characteristics to Kevlar. The material is stitched to the outer leather and bonded to the liner so it can never move or be removed, it becomes part of the cycling shoes structure. This layer assits in pedalling efficiency by maintaining a supportive structure over the top of the foot in the upward part of the pedal stroke. Last Design A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts so perfecting a cycling shoe last requires a great deal of expertise in functional biomechanics and ongoing research. At Bont, we have been perfecting our performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. We believe we place more importance and thus place more effort into our last than any other cycling shoe brand and it is the reason that Bont cycling shoes continue to be a leader in providing the most functional and correct anatomical support to cyclists than any other brand on the market. Our motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, We make shoes for cycling, not walking. Carbon Fiber Bont carbon fiber is sourced exclusively from the world's #1 carbon manufacturer, Toray of Japan. The base of the Blitz is made by hand utilizing uni-directional carbon fiber which is embedded with epoxy thermo setting resin. The fibers are hand laid in the matrix according to the strain they will have to bear. The Blitz utilizes unidirectional carbon fiber allowing Bont to create a performance cycling shoe with very specific strength characteristics based on stress points in cycling. As unidirectional carbon absorbs less resin then cross weave fibers, it also assists in the weight reduction of the cycling shoes. Medial Longitudinal Arch Support Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet. Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedaling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries. In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain. Anatomical Forefoot Shape Conventional cycling shoes offer a “dress shoe” type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common hot foot sensation. Bont cycling shoes anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. The foot is supported in its endeavour to relax through the metatarsal joints allowing the pedalling force to be spread across the greatest possible surface area. Anatomical Heel Cup The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedaling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation. Lateral Forefoot Support Bont’s lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination. These issues often result in incorrect tracking of knees causing injuries along with hip and lower back pain.
