Inspired by the road less traveled.

Cycling shoes can do more than just provide a great connection to the pedals—they can also get you where you want to go in comfort, confidence and style, both on the road and when the road ends. The Republic™ combines a supple, perforated microfiber upper with a stout nylon outsole and high-traction walking pads for great pedaling efficiency, and for traction on roads, sidewalks and gravel when you’re off the bike.
