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-1204 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":67552758366436,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-37","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38","offer_id":67552758399204,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-38","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"39","offer_id":67552758431972,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-39","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":67552758464740,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-40","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"41","offer_id":67552758497508,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-41","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"42","offer_id":67552758530276,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-42","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"43","offer_id":67552758563044,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-43","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"44","offer_id":67552758595812,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-44","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45","offer_id":67552758628580,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-45","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46","offer_id":67552758661348,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-46","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"47","offer_id":67552758694116,"sku":"DC-1204-RD-47","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5508\/1444\/files\/A59A1850.jpg?v=1791724334","url":"https:\/\/aorakisport.com\/products\/aoraki-cycling-shoes-dc-1204-red","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
