What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "These are easily some of the lightest, stiffest shoes I've ever ridden. The dual BOA system lets me dial in a perfect fit, and the ventilation is incredible on long summer rides. They feel race-ready but stay comfortable even after hours in the saddle." The Vittoria Velar Cycling Shoe is built for cyclists chasing peak performance. Handmade in Italy with a sleek microfiber upper, the Velar pairs refined style with the stiffness and efficiency needed for racing and high-output training. Its Forged Carbon Technology sole weighs 25% less than traditional carbon while delivering pro-level rigidity, so every watt translates directly into power at the pedals. Ventilation channels in the sole, upper, and tongue keep airflow moving, keeping us cool when rides heat up. The dual BOA IP1 dials, working with Vittoria's EFC 2. 0 fit system, spread pressure evenly across the foot for all-day comfort without hot spots. At just 253 grams, the Velar stands among the lightest shoes available, yet it remains supportive and stable. Completed with a customizable performance insole, this shoe offers comfort tailored to our unique anatomy, letting us push harder, longer, and faster.
