The new Cosmic SL Ultimate Cycling Shoe from Mavic can often be found on the feet of the top professional riders in WorldTour races. It's no real surprise that it's a hit among the climbers as an ultralight road shoe that's extremely stiff with all-day comfort equates to high performance and welcome on those grueling days with plenty of elevation.

With this in mind, Mavic created a new Ergo Surround upper that transfers every watt directly into the pedals. It achieved this through a careful overlap construction using ultralight materials. This provides a snug, even fit devoid of any hotspots. ...
