Mavic Tourmalet shoes

The new Mavic Tourmalet shoes are now in stock!

The shoe has three Velcro straps with the Kevlar and Aramid cable giving a smooth pull to bring the shoe together. There is also the Ergo Lite toe cap in front protecting the shoe from scuffs. The upper has the mesh and synthetic leather stitched together, simpler than the bonded construction. The sole is also a simpler-to-construct yet harder-to-explain Alutex sole. This sole is made of aluminum-enhanced nylon as well as synthetic glass fiber. The shoe's interior is highlighted by the Ergo Fit 2D insole. It's a two-density composite that has a high-density cradle for the heel and is covered with an anti-bacterial treatment.

The Tourmalet comes in sizes 7-12 in whole and half sizes. The shoes come with "recommended length" screws for the threaded inserts in the outsole. The weight (for a size 8.5 shoe) 285g per shoe.

More Mavic shoes to come....
