Garneau addresses problem of cyclists’ swelling feet

04/06/2018
Quebec-based cycling brand Garneau has said more expensive cycling, such as the ones in its range, “are more expensive for a reason”.

In recent comments on social media and on its website, the company said: “One of the biggest problems cyclists have is their feet swelling during cycling, which causes the forefoot to expand and smash against the inside of the shoe. Traditional cycling shoes have no room for this expansion, and can cause tingling, numbness, hotspots and bunions on the foot.”

Garneau’s suggested solution is its patent-pending X-Comfort Zone, designed to be an expandable zone to accommodate for this type of swelling. The X-Comfort Zone can stretch up to 5 millimetres to provide comfort and to prevent numbness during long rides.
