Brought to life over several seasons and many more espressos, the last for the Unique Shoes benefits from the unique intersection of cycling and performance footwear talent in the Italian Dolomites. Developed with Q36.5’s clothing expertise and guided by the world-class shoe pattern makers at our doorstep, the Unique’s last is tuned to follow the dynamics of the foot, maximizing power output while minimizing fatigue.

Created in partnership with chamois experts, Elastic Interface®, the Unique Shoes feature an innovative, high-density foam footbed that absorbs micro-vibrations and enhances comfort over the longest rides.

Unlike commonly used PU, the Unique’s upper forms to your foot shape with a sock-like fit to deliver outstanding breathability, with engineered support areas along the sole arch. And because the one-piece upper wraps around your foot, there’s no need for a tongue, so all you’ll feel is a more natural, surer fit from heel to toe.

Lightweight and low profile, the Unique Shoes deploy dual BOA® Li2 dials for smooth and even pressure distribution across the instep and forefoot zones for comfort at the close. Together with the innovative lightweight upper, the textile BOA® string flows optimally across the shoe to prevent pressure points.

Lining the instep, a thermoplastic support Power Wrap reinforces the microfiber upper to help absorb road vibrations and maximize foot stability at speed. Invisible yet reassuringly snug, the Power Wrap helps ensure every watt transfers through the pedals.

Engineered with a low stack height for a closer connection to the pedal, the outsole of the Unique Shoes delivers optimized stiffness for lossless power transfer in the heat of competition. A zone-mapped design at the rear of the shoe generates positive flexibility to create a rebound effect that reduces tendon pressure and muscle overload and increases blood flow across every pedal stroke.
