What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"What I like most about the 1976 Evo is how it feels both classic and modern. The lace-up look gives it old-school charm, but the carbon sole and ventilation make it ride like a true race shoe. The wider fit option is huge—it’s rare to find a high-performance shoe that’s this comfortable for broader feet."The Vittoria 1976 Evo Cycling Shoe pays tribute to Vittoria’s origins while elevating performance for modern riders. Handmade in Italy, it brings a vintage lace-up aesthetic into the present with a Microfiber Soft Touch upper and mesh panels that deliver breathable support for long days in the saddle. Beneath the classic look lies serious race-ready tech. The full carbon UD sole is engineered for maximum stiffness and responsiveness, transferring power directly to the pedals while keeping weight low. Speedplay-compatible slots offer fine-tuned cleat adjustment, and a textured finish in the mounting zone enhances grip and stability. To extend comfort, Vittoria developed both standard and wide fit options, ensuring every rider finds a secure and natural feel. Ventilation channels circulate airflow to keep feet fresh, and a replaceable heel pad maintains durability ride after ride.
