Good catch. Does Froome always wear shoes 3sz too big??


Marginal gains.

These are the shoes that Dan Martin prototyped last year. Absolutely bonkers price.

It's not that bad. They come with a second waterproof bootie so you're saving £30 on overshoes at least :lol:

(No mention of weight yet either... they'd better be floating away at that cost!)

They better win races for me and shine themselves at that price.

At that price point is see zero reason to not stretch a little further for full custom shoes.

coolest shoe EVAH! When I get to the coffee shop, I can remove the shell and walk around in the booty - no more attracting unwanted attention clack clacking around as I wait for my Grande, double whip, no foam, 2 pump latte.

And I'm positive they are 4 watts more efficient - than my high top Converse Chuck Taylors, with laces removed, on platform pedals.

They save 4.2 Watts per pedal stroke. If Froome wears them, he can travel back in time!

Sorry, no. Saves 4.2W per step for Froome.

They're some kind of horrid triathlon hybrid where the cycling shell can be removed to reveal a barefoot running slipper. Perfect for those tricky Ventoux ascents.
