As a kid riding my bike was everything. From visiting friends to travelling around town to getting myself to baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball practice my bike was always there for me. I eventually returned to cycling first as an option to get to work until an accident destroyed my bike forcing me to get a new one. After visiting several shops I bought my first real road bike. A Giant Defy 1. It has lasted 15 years and has over 100,000km while still going strong.
While getting into triathlons I then bought a Cervelo P2 because it felt like the thing to do but it really highlighted how much I hated walking around in my cycling shoes. After looking around and trying several covers I was certain there had to be a better product, so I made it.
It started with an old pair of Adidas shoes that I cut off the sole and crudely shaped it around my SPD-SL's, and voila it worked, and surprisingly well. It looked awful but it proved the concept of something more shoe-like was the way to go for something way more comfortable and stable than any of the plastic covers out there. I experimented with a lot of different materials including plastics and rubbers before settling on a stiff expanding foam that is a bit more dense than something like neoprene. What followed was a journey of learning 3D CAD software and production mold making processes. In March of 2022 officially started selling to the public and have since added more cleats to the line-up.
