Footwear designer Tracey Neuls has teamed up with Tokyobike to create handmade shoes with rubber soles and reflective strips especially for cycling that work on and off your bike.
The shoes feature rubber soles moulded in a single piece, which are designed to fit comfortably against bike pedals.
The range includes Fern laced ankle boots, with small heels and a reflective strip stitched up the back for cycling in the dark.
Geek shoes also have reflective detailing on the back and are available in black or camel. “Perfect for cycling or walking the city,” said Neuls.
The safety aspect of the shoes comes from a reflective patch attached to the heel. This patch alerts cars to the rider and should go a long way to increase safety when paired with traditional reflectors and other bike safety gear. Perhaps the best thing about Tracey Neul’s new cycling shoes is that they look quite stylish.
