Budget Road Shoe: Bontrager Circuit
If you’re new to cycling, you probably bought the best bike your budget allowed, which didn’t leave you with extra cash for shoes. Luckily, the inevitable trickle down of technology means it’s easy to find affordable shoes with pro-level features. The Circuit incorporates Bontrager’s PowerTruss sole design, a feature that adds stiffness to the nylon composite sole without adding additional weight. The sole is also compatible with both two- and three-bolt cleat systems, giving you more clipless pedal options than other road shoes. The Circuit’s synthetic upper includes mesh panels for ventilation, and the entire shoe is shaped to provide a comfortable and supportive fit. [$125; trekbikes.com]
