Competing at cycling’s elite level requires professional riders to perform in a wider range of conditions than ever before. Though most items of kit can be swapped out to suit the weather, shoes require more careful consideration. When it comes to footwear, superstition is rife and riders seldom switch suppliers even between seasons for fear of ill-fitting shoes.
To break the mould and trigger a change, a new pair of race shoes must reflect the broad range of races throughout the season and provide comfort in any conditions. Over the last two months, the Pro Team Shoe has hit the ground running on the feet of WorldTour riders including CANYON//SRAM’s Hannah Barnes and EF Pro Cycling’s Neilson Powless.
While Neilson started his season in the heat at the Tour Down Under, Hannah made her bow at the rain-streaked Belgian season opener, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Though they’ve been racing and training in very different conditions, both attest to the unparalleled comfort of our new race shoe, and are glad to have made the switch.
