Louis Garneau Tri X-Speed Men's Shoes White, 43.0 White, 43.0
The Louis Garneau Tri X-Speed Shoes deliver the goods you need to step into the world of triathlon racing. They're reasonably light; they offer a secure fit; they effectively transfer power--and they won't kill your budget. Hook them up to your pedals, drop your bike off in the transition area, and be confident that they will be up to the task when it's time to swing a leg over your ride and put distance between you and the competition. All triathlon shoes are different, of course, but they all must perform one critical function--keep your feet protected from painful hotspots and blisters. After all, in triathlons, there's no putting your feet up when your bike ride is over. Garneau knows this, so they outfitted the Tri X-Speed Shoes with the HRS-80 heel retention system to keep your heel planted firmly in the back of the shoe. Additionally, the decentered Power Flex strap is angled to ensure proper arch support, reduce forefoot pressure, and provide next-to-skin fit. Because time lost in transition can be a race-killer, the strap secures from the outside of your foot inward, ensuring that it won't interfere with the crankarms when you want to get on your way first, and then strap in. Garneau gave the Tri X-Speed Shoes the high-density Ergo Air II Nylon outsole with its multivent system. It's not quite as stiff as Garneau's carbon fiber soles, but it transfers power effectively and also offers excellent ventilation. The upper is made of synthetic leather and mesh for proper temperature regulation and durability. Ergo Air Cool Stuff blue insoles increase the shoe's ventilation properties. The pull hoop on the back of the Tri X-Speed Shoe is anchored from the bottom of the heel so you can pull the shoes on quickly and easily. It's also emblazoned with a reflector for added visibility. The Louis Garneau Tri X-Speed Men's Shoes are compatible with two- and three-bolt pedal cleat designs. They come in whole sizes from 38-50 and in White.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Louis Garneau 2013/14 Men's LS-100 Road Cycling Shoes - 1487181 (Black - 47)
Who doesn't appreciate value? We certainly do, and if you're looking at the Louis Garneau LS-100 Shoes, you must as well. We simply can't think of any other shoes that better match technology features with price. In fact, with a BOA L4 retention system, a stiff outsole, and nearly unrivaled ventilation, we're still trying to figure out how Garneau essentially created a $350 pair of shoes for well under $300. Starting at the outsole, Garneau sought to achieve the perfect balance between strength, rigidity, and weight. Are you thinking carbon fiber? So were we. However, the LS-100 utilizes Garneau's Ergo Air II soles -- a carbon-reinforced nylon. This means that you gain both the stiff benefits of carbon fiber and the controlled flex of a nylon matrix. What does this really amount to, though? Well, coupled with the LS-100's low stack height, the Ergo Air II's composition and rigidity equate to a direct transfer of power to the pedals. Just like in frame design, the outsole has a stiffness-to-weight ratio that positively promotes an efficient carry of power with limited energy dispersion. So, in simpler terms, these outsoles make your hard efforts count in relation to speed. In terms of the aforementioned flexibility, you've surely felt berated by overly stiff outsoles at some point in your riding. The nylon matrix of the Ergo Air IIs amounts to a calculated percentage of 'give' under load. Essentially, this is minute enough that you won't notice it on climbs or hard drives, however, after 80k, your feet certainly will. Comfort without the penalty of weight is the design philosophy at work here. And speaking of weight, the LS-100 tips the scales at a lower weight than many other manufacturer's top offerings -- 255g per shoe. This is credited, in one part, to the outsole, but in our opinion, more so to the lightweight upper construction.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
