Ordinary trainers were never made for the pedals — the soft, bendy sole flexes with every stroke and wastes the power you're putting down, leaving your legs more tired than they should be on longer rides. These cycling shoes fix that with a rigid nylon composite sole that sends your effort straight into the pedal, a rotating BOA-style dial buckle for precise fit adjustments on the move, and a breathable leather upper with ventilation holes on both sides. With mountain (SPD), road (SPD) and flat unlocked sole options, there's a configuration for every kind of riding.

What Makes Them Worth the Upgrade

✓ Three sole options — Mountain (SPD), Highroad (SPD) and Unlocked (flat rubber) — the same shoe body in the sole configuration that matches your pedal setup, so you get the correct grip and clip-in compatibility for how you actually ride.

✓ Rotating BOA-style dial buckle — twist clockwise to tighten in fine micro-steps, pull the dial out to release instantly. No stopping mid-ride to fiddle with laces, and the elastic retraction keeps the cable tidy.

✓ Nylon composite outsole — stiff enough to transfer power to the pedal without flex, yet lighter than a full carbon sole — a sensible balance for daily riding and longer distances alike.

✓ Ventilated leather upper — the one-piece moulded leather upper is dotted with airflow holes on both sides, letting air circulate around the foot so things don't overheat mid-ride.

✓ EVA cushioned insole — a comfortable, supportive base for hours in the saddle without piling on weight.

✓ Soft cotton lining — sits gently against the foot for all-day comfort.

✓ True-to-size, medium width (B/M) — confirmed true to size across the EU 37–47 range, with a foot-length chart below so you can measure and order with confidence.

Which Sole Suits Your Riding

The mountain (SPD) sole is built for off-road and trail riding — the recessed cleat sits inside the sole, so you can walk about at the café stop or push up a muddy climb without the cleat scraping the ground. The highroad (SPD) sole suits road cycling and spin classes where maximum power transfer is the goal. The unlocked flat rubber sole covers casual riding and commuting on standard pedals with no clip-in system at all. Whichever you choose, all three share the same upper, dial buckle and breathable construction.

How the Dial Buckle Works

A thin internal cable threads through guides around the upper of the shoe. Turning the dial clockwise winds the cable in, tightening the whole upper evenly across the width of your foot — and because the adjustments are tiny ratchet steps, you can fine-tune the fit whilst riding without stopping or taking the shoe off. To release, just pull the dial outwards: the ratchet disengages, the cable goes slack and the shoe opens fully. The elastic retraction system stops the cable bunching up inside when the shoe is open.

How They Compare

Getting Your Size Right

These shoes run true to size. Measure your bare foot from heel to the tip of your longest toe and match it against the chart below. Got wider feet? Go up one size.

Care and Maintenance

Wipe the upper down with a damp cloth after each ride to shift dirt and sweat — especially after wet British lanes. Let the shoes air dry fully before putting them away, and never dry them next to a radiator or heater: direct heat can warp the sole and damage the dial buckle cable. Store them with the buckle released to take tension off the internal cable, and clean the sole now and then so cleat engagement stays crisp.
