Our Elite Brand Partners
We are proud authorized dealers of the most innovative names in off-road cycling:

Fizik (Terra Series): Engineered for the modern gravel rider and mountain biker. The Fizik Terra series, including the Atlas and X5, offers Italian styling with high-performance outsoles that balance stiffness for pedaling and flexibility for walking.

Mavic: Known for French engineering and legendary durability. Mavic off-road shoes feature Energy Grip outsoles and Contagrip® technology, providing unmatched traction in muddy or rocky conditions.

Crankbrothers (Mallet & Stamp): The masters of the 'Match' system. Crankbrothers shoes are designed to integrate perfectly with their pedals (Clip-in or Flat), offering a seamless interface that eliminates 'play' and maximizes control.

Northwave: Specialists in all-weather protection. From the ultra-breathable summer models to the famous Artic winter boots with Gore-Tex, Northwave ensures your feet stay comfortable in the most extreme environments.

Gravel vs. MTB: The Right Choice

Gravel Performance: Lightweight, streamlined designs with stiff soles (often carbon-reinforced) for speed on white roads.

MTB & Trail: Reinforced toe boxes, high-grip rubber lugs, and added ankle protection for technical descents and 'hike-a-bike' sections.

Expertly Selected in Resana
Choosing the right shoe involves more than just the size—it's about the volume, the arch support, and the closure system (BOA®, Velcro, or Laces). Our team in Resana, Italy, can guide you through the technical specs of each brand. Enjoy insured worldwide shipping on all our premium off-road shoes."

Buyer’s Guide

Clip-in vs. Flat: If you use clipless pedals (SPD), ensure the shoe has a 2-bolt cleat recess. For flat pedals, choose Crankbrothers Stamp series for the best pin-to-sole grip.

Closure Systems: BOA® dials allow for micro-adjustments even while riding, while Powerstrap (Fizik) offers a secure, wrap-around fit for rough gravel.

Winter Protection: If you ride year-round, consider Northwave's Gore-Tex range to keep your feet 100% dry and warm.

FAQ

Are gravel shoes different from MTB shoes? Gravel shoes are usually lighter and stiffer, resembling road shoes but with a recessed 2-bolt cleat for walking.

Do Crankbrothers shoes work with Shimano SPD pedals? Yes, they use a universal 2-bolt mount, though they are optimized for Crankbrothers' own pedal systems.

How do I clean my off-road shoes? Most models from Fizik and Northwave can be cleaned with water and a soft brush. Avoid high heat when drying to preserve the adhesives.
