What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "These shoes feel like they disappear on your feet—super light, incredibly stiff, and ventilated enough to stay cool on summer climbs. The dual BOA dials make dialing in fit a breeze, and the Speedplay sole option makes them a perfect match for my setup." The Vittoria Velar Translucent Speedplay Cycling Shoe brings Italian craftsmanship and pro-level performance to every ride. Handmade in Italy, this flagship road shoe features Vittoria’s Forged Carbon Technology sole, which is 25% lighter than standard carbon while delivering maximum stiffness for efficient power transfer. The dual BOA IP1 dials, working with the EFC 2. 0 closure system, provide a wraparound fit that distributes pressure evenly across the foot—no hot spots, no undercutting, just a locked-in feel that stays comfortable mile after mile. Ventilation channels in the sole and micro-drilled upper maintain airflow, keeping temperatures stable during long, hot efforts. With a translucent finish that highlights its modern design, the Velar Translucent combines style with technical innovation. Completed with Vittoria’s customizable performance insole and Speedplay-specific sole drilling, it’s built for professional cyclists and serious riders who demand uncompromising performance.
