Why are shoes with cleats called 'Clipless'? Who knows.
What we do know is that a good clip setup feels like magic - efficient and secure. These shoes are chosen for fit and feel from race-day to the weekend sessions.
Ok, we do know... they are called Clipless because they do not have the old school road bike toe clips/ baskets. So they are clip-less even though you clip in.
Confusing? Absolutely. Welcome to our sport.
