My mind reading is a little hazy, so you'll need to either pop your measurements up on here or email us :beerchug:

Since we're at weight weenies - do you plan a WW ones? Something in the 150-200g range would be nice.
It may be hard though so not worth the effort depending on your sales estimates.

We're not in a position to start playing at that end of the market just yet. Our kicks are already not a bad weight, especially at their price point. To cut away another 60-70g or so will take a lot more investment (and really push up the prices).

I really LOVE your shoes for Michael Woods! Not in a position to afford a pair now, but that is a dream!

Many thanks, but we didn't paint those. They were done by Artful Kicks for Woods (and his sponsors, Garneau). They are certainly magnificent. Artful Kicks is very good. Real shame he's taking more of a back setat, but he's making the right call with regards to work/life balance. Top guy.

Ah! Has that been published? Wasn't aware of when it was coming out. They dropped me a line a few months ago now, had no idea when it was going to print.

Thank you.

*Garneau*, not Gaerne.

Still awesome looking shoes from ARtful and from you.

Are all your shoe models made on the same last?
Appears that Seasons 1-3 + Blancos are all the same except the upper on the laceup.
How wide (or narrow) do they fit? Do you have rough measurements of width per size? or a 42? :)

Of course, meant to say Garneau. Thanks for the correction...

Same sole and last, correct. Obviously the upper is different (slightly) between S1-3 and the laces - as well as now S4. There is a size guide on the site. Additionally the previous page some info on how I tend to gauge correct fit, using measurements (if there is some doubt).

hope that helps.

Just saw on Chris pritchard cycling new YouTube channel had a pair of your season 3s displayed... I'm probably just slow to the party if you are affiliated.

Just thought to point it out.

Another pointy-like shape shoes......
Really disappointed about this kind of shape which 90+% brands use. Why don't you do more research on foot type/shape?

What’s the relevance of the first link, is that just pointing out that there are different foot shapes?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that as the Velokicks founder is a podiatrist, he’s probably aware of different foot shapes. Maybe 90% of brands use that shape shoe because it fits 90% of feet, are you part of the 10% with wide feet so struggling to get a good fit with mainstream brands?
