New Cadence shoe at Bontrager
02/09/2009
Cycling specialist Bontrager has added a new style to its inForm cycling shoes.
The Cadence shoe for women is designed to offer all-day comfort, off-bike versatility, and a stylish look.
It is made using the brand's inForm WSD Performance last, a woman-specific last that is designed to cradle the foot in a comfortable, performance-oriented position. Around that form, the company uses a Strobel construction method for stability and comfort. It features a moulded Phylon foam midsole that conforms to the specific curvature of the inForm last, providing additional cushioning and flexibility for off-bike activities. Pedal cleats mount directly to a moulded nylon internal plate under the uppers, bypassing the Phylon midsole. As a result, there's no energy loss when riding, says the firm.
The Cadence features non-stretch synthetic uppers to offer support and suppleness. It features an internal heel cup for secure fit and support without the bulky look and feel of an external cup. It is specifically designed to accommodate custom or customisable insoles.
“We designed the Cadence for the woman who wants one shoe that does it all,” said Natascha Grief, Bontrager brand manager. “It’s the perfect shoe for when you want some of the performance benefits of a cycling shoe without looking like you’re wearing one.”
