I think they look good. I wish that you guys were more local to me. I am a little weird when it comes to buying footwear. It really is one of the very few things that I still go to a brick and mortar store for. Cool stuff on your website keep it up!

We have a full refund returns policy. Unless you know a local store keen to stock them, as we're also in the process of adding stockists.

I took a punt and ordered a pair of Velokicks lace-ups to the UK late last year. Only had a few rides but so far, but so good. Really like them...lightweight, good looking, easy to clean and most important, so comfortable.

Only slight thing I would change in design for us riders in less than ideal climates, would be to change the mesh panels to black or grey..white looks pimp until wet grime makes it yucky. Not happened yet, but this is the UK!

I'll report back later in the year after more KM.

Citrus cleaner and a light scrumb with a brush = comes up clean!

But thrilled you're enjoying them. Laces have become especially popular given their weight and comfort. The latter is really pleasing to me. Comfort is what its really all about. Ain't nobody got time for sore feet.

I am loving the look of the season 3 shoes, my current shimanos are looking pretty tired and these could be a great option.
I am a Melbourne boy originally but would gladly rep these around town here in Germany.

This has probably already been asked, but is there any plan to release a set of SPD 2-bolt soles for us gravel junkies? I just got a new pair of Pearl Izumi tours and they have a 2 + 3 bolt setup in what is basically a road shoe. See here: https://cyclingtips.com/2019/03/pearl-i ... oe-review/

We've had a play with those set ups. Fact is it adds weight, so if we do a two-bolt we'll make it specific to that. And it's in our long-term plans, just not right now.

Howdy all, just a little update. We have dropped Season 4. After repeated requests for a black kick we caved in to pressure and went all out. For those who only work in black (and sometimes very, very dark grey) these go out to you.

We have a pre-order offer for the next two weeks with nearly $60 off a pair. Lead time roughly 10 weeks from the close of pre-order, which we are doing in large part to get a better grasp on sizing. Had a few situations now where we have sold out of sizes that regular ordering charts suggest we would not sell many of :noidea: so doing a pre-order to help ensure we get some sort of a better idea of what sizing demands are and we can then adjust accordingly. We get data, you get a ripper price.

Anyways, enjoy. Happy to answer any questions.

hmmmm, interesting.

Looking originally for a new commuter pair, but struggling to find something I like at a price that makes sense. Then there is the idea of support local !!!

Currently have a pair of RC9 in EU46 for my 'nice' shoes - width is normally the issue for me around the toes - how do the Velokicks compare to the RC9 length/width ?

How's the stiffness and ventilation compared to the latest sworks shoe?
How much to ship to NYC, USA?

I'm in the market and have a pair of 7 year old sworks (size 42)
I assume for your shoes I'd order a size 42 also?
