Power goes through the ball of the foot into the pedal, and any movement inside the shoe is energy that never reaches the wheel. DC-02 is built to keep the foot planted and the pedal stroke efficient on rides from a commute to a long weekend loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficient power transfer.\u003c\/strong\u003e A stiffened sole plate spreads load across the ball of the foot so the pedal stroke does not flex the shoe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure closure.\u003c\/strong\u003e The retention system pulls the midfoot down and back, holding the heel in place so it does not lift when you pull up through the stroke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVentilated upper.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mesh panels move air over the foot on long rides without letting the shoe collapse under pedalling force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSynthetic upper with ventilated mesh, closed with straps or laces, on a reinforced nylon or composite sole with a rubberised tread for walking into a cafe stop.

Your toes should not touch the front of the shoe when you push, and your heel must not lift when you pull up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the upper with a damp cloth after wet rides and dry at room temperature, away from heat. Check the cleat bolts every few rides — they work loose. Store shoes unclipped and loosely laced so the upper keeps its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aoraki","offers":[{"title":"37","offer_id":67552753746148,"sku":"DC-02-BU-37","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38","offer_id":67552753778916,"sku":"DC-02-BU-38","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"39","offer_id":67552753811684,"sku":"DC-02-BU-39","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":67552753844452,"sku":"DC-02-BU-40","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"41","offer_id":67552753877220,"sku":"DC-02-BU-41","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"42","offer_id":67552753909988,"sku":"DC-02-BU-42","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"43","offer_id":67552753942756,"sku":"DC-02-BU-43","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"44","offer_id":67552753975524,"sku":"DC-02-BU-44","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45","offer_id":67552754008292,"sku":"DC-02-BU-45","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46","offer_id":67552754041060,"sku":"DC-02-BU-46","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"47","offer_id":67552754073828,"sku":"DC-02-BU-47","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5508\/1444\/files\/A59A4402_7a19d81a-436d-4983-8400-a5ec5322529f.jpg?v=1791724329","url":"https:\/\/aorakisport.com\/products\/aoraki-cycling-shoes-dc-02-blue","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
