In both Gravel and MTB (XC), riders are looking for shoes with the following characteristics: sturdiness, grip, support, efficiency, comfort, maintenance. In terms of solidity, the Ekoi Gravel shoes are equipped with a stone guard and a reinforced TPU heel: these two "shields" protect the feet from gravel, stones and other obstacles that can sometimes litter the tracks. On the grip side, the sole is equipped with TPU studs which height and design have been studied to guarantee the best grip, especially on muddy ground. On the foot support side, this is ensured by two ATOP(R) buckles, which allow precise micrometric tightening. The enveloping construction of the upper also promotes pedaling efficiency, especially when pulling, while contributing to comfort. Ekoi Gravel shoes are very easy to maintain: a small brush and soapy water are enough to effectively clean the synthetic surface of the shoes. The grey and khaki colours blend perfectly with the chromatic profile of the Ekoi Gravel range.
