Bont A-Three Road Cycling Shoes

The Bont a-three brings new meaning to the term 'value for money' for a cycling shoe. This is a fully heat mouldable, hand made, light weight fibreglass racing shoe that is loaded with features.
This shoe is made by hand using Bont's monocoque manufacturing technique. Each layer of fibreglass is hand laid in different directions before being painted with resin and then bandaged extremely tight to remove any excess resin.
The shoe is then baked in the oven for 45 minutes for curing. The lightweight outer skin is then stitched and glued to the base. The result is a shoe that is one of the stiffest on the market and all for a very affordable price.
The a-three is available with a black or white Matt Microfiber upper.

Cleat Micro Grid :

• The cleat micro grid has been included to provide riders with the ability to fine tune their cleat placement.

• Low profile, micro adjustable buckles have been fitted. Buckles and ladders are fully replaceable, with 3 lengths of ladders available to ensure proper fit.

Replaceable Sole Guards & Buckles :

Memory foam :

• A three is fitted with high density memory foam with dry cell technology to ensure minimum water retention in wet conditions.

Medial Longitudinal Arch Support :

• Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet.
  Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedaling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries.
  In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain.

Anatomical Forefoot Shape :

• Conventional cycling shoes offer a "dress shoe" type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common "hot foot" sensation.
  Bont cycling shoes anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. The foot is supported in its endeavour to relax through the metatarsal joints allowing the pedalling force to be spread across the greatest possible surface area.

Anatomical Heel Cup :

• The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedaling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation.

Lateral Forefoot Support :

• Bont's lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination. These issues often result in incorrect tracking of knees causing injuries along with hip and lower back pain.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
