Bontrager Velosis road shoes
Quote | Reply
Hi, I'm looking at
Bontrager Velocis Road Shoes vs specialized expert road shoes. when i tried on the Velosis shoes they flex A LOT in the front from the ball of the foot forward.
Why are they so flexible? Even the LBS owner was surprised and we flexed many other brands and none flexed that much. Any thoughts?

The sole is 70% fiberglass, not full carbon, according to the bontrager website, and they also say it rates 10/14 on their stiffness scale.
A non-carbon sole is always going to be somewhat flexy compared to a real carbon sole. I can easily flex a fiberglass sole with my hands. Can't get a carbon sole to budge.
For the MSRP on those, I think you could get a better shoe...
