If, in the past, you have tried to get away with using your regular road shoes when competing in a triathlon, you’ll no doubt have realized that kinda doesn’t work. Even if you only have two Velcro straps and a boa dial to deal with, it’s at best cumbersome. If you use laces, fuhgeddaboudit. The Mavic Cosmic Elite Tri Shoes would be a great addition to your triathlon kit since they will be light and comfortable as well as convenient for that T1 hustle.
With the extra-wide single strap that opens out towards the outside of your foot, the Cosmic Elite Tri Shoes facilitate getting in and out while on the move. The large loop at the heel of the foot will also help give you something to grab onto quickly when pulling them on. The Energy Comp Outsole is supportive and thin, so that the sole of your foot is as close to the spindle of the pedal as possible to increase your pedaling efficiency.
Mavic also uses the OrthoLite ergonomic insole that will feel cushioning and comfortable, conforming to the shape of your foot. The microfiber upper has been developed to fit neatly, cutting the crown of the shoe a touch lower so that it will not rub your ankle bones especially if you are going barefoot. And the material has been made to offer the ultimate in ventilation to help any lingering dampness from the swimming section evaporate.
The Mavic Cosmic Elite Tri Shoes will be a comfortable option whether you are planning on racing your 1st or your 20th triathlon.
