With the Chronos Aero Long Distance Cycling Shoes, You’ll Get Wings

Plenty of comfort, optimal power transfer, and, above all, low air resistance: The Chronos Aero is a shoe that literally helps you go further and optimally supports your effort.

10 Watts Less Air Resistance Due to Good Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics is very important, especially when you can't draft and have to complete that long ride on your own. With the Aero, we chose a fast single dial-lock to close the shoe. The closure is covered with a ‘lace cover’ with a zipper. The upper part is designed to be as smooth as possible for minimal air resistance. That’s why there is no closure on the sides to avoid turbulence. Thanks to the smooth finish, a gain of up to 10 watts can be achieved, according to tests we conducted in the wind tunnel.

Comfort When Putting On and in Rainy Conditions
The shoe is softly finished, offering extra comfort when stepping in and out. The transition from the hard carbon shell to the softer upper is gradual, with no sharp edges. This is possible because the shoe’s construction is made from ‘one piece’: the shoe is made as a single unit. This is a labor-intensive and expensive production method but results in a much stronger and more comfortable shoe. Even more comfort is provided by the holes in the carbon shell sole, which drain water during rainy conditions. The upper is made of microfiber leather, which is light, very strong, durable, and antibacterial.

Efficient Pedal Stroke Without Tightening Too Much
Once in the shoe, you can immediately transfer your power to the pedals, even if you’re under time pressure and can’t fully zip the shoe. Often, shoes are not tightened properly, leading to significant power loss. The carbon shell sole of the Cadomotus Aero is highly heat-moldable, ensuring that your foot is securely held, guaranteeing an efficient pedal stroke. The shoe fits so snugly from the start that every pedal stroke counts, which provides a huge advantage, especially uphill or when accelerating out of a turn.

Stiff Shoe Shell Helps Save Energy for Running
Ultimately, the most significant advantage of the shoe is the solid shell sole. By cycling more efficiently, you’re already saving energy for the run. This is further enhanced because the stiff shoe also stabilizes and relieves your calf. You will cycle more from your hips and thighs, saving your calves for the run. You delay fatigue, which can result in significant gains during the run. In short, it's a shoe that makes you bike and run better.

Note:
The current model of this product is equipped with an improved heel strap: instead of the external loop shown, there is now a webbing strap on the inside. This modification ensures that the shoes stay more horizontal when attached to the bike with elastics for a quick transition (fly-mount). This is a deliberate product improvement – please note that the delivered product may differ from the images shown at this point.
