The Bontrager Espresso Road Cycling Shoes have been specifically designed for cyclists who like a café stop. The sole of the Espresso shoe is stiff enough to give you great on the bike performance & power transfer, but flexible & grippy enough to let you carry a tray of coffees without fear of falling on your bum. High end road shoes with stiff & slick carbon soles & large 3 bolt cleats can be tricky to walk in. The Espresso uses a 2-bolt mountain bike style cleat recessed into the sole so you can walk as if you are wearing normal shoes. Although designed for sociable road cycling the Espresso shoe is also great for commuting & cycle touring. The 2-bolt cleat design also means they will work with most spinning pedals. Although the focus of the Espresso is on being ‘walkable’ it is still a performance cycling shoe. It uses Bontrager’s inform Race last & a glass reinforced nylon sole plate to give you a great fitting shoe with plenty of stiffness so you don’t have to compromise on speed on your way to the cafe. Features in Form Race last offers a slightly roomier, high-performance fit Glass-reinforced internal nylon plate with full Tachyon rubber outsole Boa IP1 dial for precise two-way adjustment Compatible with 2-bolt SPD-style MTB cleats Stiffness index
