Discreet Cycling Sneakers

Quoc Shoes Balance Style with Comfort and Versatile Functionality

— January 7, 2019 — Lifestyle
London-based cycling footwear brand Quoc recently unveiled its latest innovation on Kickstarter: a pair of discreet cycling sneakers called 'The Weekend' that can be worn seamlessly both on and off a bike.

Unlike other cycling sneakers, the new design from Quoc features the pedal clips within the souls, rather than on the outsides of them, allowing wearers to sport them as they walk to and from the gym, or while working out with other equipment. With this feature, Quoc enables consumers to have more freedom while wearing the cycling sneakers, making it easier for them to hop off their bike while completing errands around the city, all while maintaining a minimalist look that doesn't detract from their personal sense of style.

Apart from being more convenient and comfortable to wear, The Weekend cycling sneakers from Quoc are made with environmentally friendly materials, such as the "plant-based EVA-replacement foam" from Bloom, a company that's dedicated to making green water clean again.
