So when Ryan from TCL asked us if we were interested in BONT shoes it was easy,
'No thanks, we sell Specialized. always have done - always will.'
'Okay', he said, and then he put a pair of A3's in my hand. and since then I have not stopped talking about them. So what's so special that makes us stock another product range?
Well apart from having an ever so slightly 'Corrective' look about them, they are without doubt the lightest, stiffest, most fit for purpose and obviously designed by user piece of kit that I have ever seen. They are beyond stiff. Designed by a pair of Australians who originally needed a shoe for ice speed skating that they could trust to let them do this

[/caption]The transition and crossover to making cycle shoes was a natural one and they are rapidly finding favour in the pro peloton not least with the Cervelo Test Team. Supplies are very limited, prices range from £120 for the A3
£195 for the A2 and £285 for the A1. Plus a range of triathlon and aero TT shoes. Each pair is handmade and has a monocoque sole and upper construction that can be heat moulded (stick them in the oven) to accommodate for those slight variances in foot size and shape. These are definitely going to be the shoes to have. One thing is for sure, deliveries are slow (from Australia) stock is thin on the ground and demand is going to be high.
