TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SHOE
The new EDGE+ Road shoe smoothly wrap the foot and are said to guarantee a comfortable fit, or ‘a second skin’ as Suplest say.

“The thin Japanese microfiber upper material has a stretch-free CARBONSHIELD layer which gives an exceptionally good feeling of attachment to the pedal. The precise Boa® closure system guarantees a balanced distribution of pressure over the entire foot – millimeter adjustment while riding.”
“The SOLESTAR insole ensures maximum comfort and uncompromising stability. A newly developed suplest ERGO 360° carbon outsole has a SL foam core to make it lighter. Molded SUPtraction bumpers protect the outsole and a toe vent permits airflow.”
