QUOC Gran Tourer II Clipless Shoes

Quoc, a pioneer in lace-up clipless shoes.

The Gran Tourer, released in 2018, remains a popular shoe due to its design and functionality that perfectly suit the gravel scene.

The sides of the shoe feature a rubber construction for waterproofing, preventing water intrusion when walking through puddles.

The shoe itself is a lightweight, easy-to-walk-in SPD type, making it useful for strolling during rides or in cyclocross scenarios.

Its durable rubber outsole provides excellent grip, ensuring safety when walking on rocky terrain.

While retaining the same features as its predecessor, the laces have been replaced with a dial system, and the heel hold has been improved.

The dial adjustment is a one-touch system, making it easy to put on and take off the shoes, and to fine-tune the tightness during a ride.

The sizing is Asian fit.

Example: Vans 27.5cm, MoonStar 27.5cm  → 27.5cm is recommended

Only half sizes like 26.5 and 27.5 are available.

The sizing is similar to Specialized and Shimano clipless shoes.

Advice for buyers from a user *The shoe used is theGran Tourerlace-up type

・If you're torn between two sizes, it's recommended to go one size smaller. The reason is that when actually pedaling, the heel hold improves, and there's a slight gap around the toes. Therefore, I regretted not buying one size smaller.

・If you're unsure which color to choose, try Pink. This color is the most challenging to coordinate with outfits in the lineup, making choosing clothes for rides more enjoyable.

・Naturally, the design also suits road bikes primarily used on asphalt. I hope many people will wear them, not just those fixated on gravel bikes.

・I do not recommend choosing a shoe one size larger just because you wear thick socks in winter. If you plan to wear them for extended periods during the on-season, choose your exact size.

・Once you fall in love with this brand, you'll want a second pair. These shoes have such an appealing design and unique world view.
