Click to email a link to a friend If you’ve been following the news on the site , you’ve noticed some new shoes from the UK brand Quoc. They are known forwith a pop of color, carbon and fairly fashion forward. The brand has recently pushed into the top tier of footwear, supplying riders like Tour de France champion Geraint Thomas with its new ultra lightThe newest offering is a bit of a re-offering: the Quoc Escape shoe. The Escape is Quocs’ mid-to-entry-level road shoe with a carbon sole.
The PU Leather is a nice material for all-around use and keeps the cost down. The abrasion resistance is high , and the pebbled detail makes it look very authentic. Plus, after a muddy ride in the spring, they clean up fairly well. Malleable heel padding and supportive, foot-hugging fitMy time in the Quoc Escape Lace shoes was brief but with lasting impressions. I had a solid week of riding in them, going into the Pittsburgh Roubaix .
The black shoes get a little warm in the sun, but nothing out of the ordinary .In my final rides for testing, I took the Escapes to the Pittsburgh Roubaix and treated them to a mix of conditions and up-hill cobbles. The first test involved spending all day in the shoes, and they passed with flying colors. Even with the slight bit of water from a saturated pave’ section, they were good and dried out quickly.
Performance-wise, the Escapes put up with everything I could put out. The shoe was a sturdy platform to pedal from, accommodating the day’s efforts. Out of the saddle and giving it my all, I felt locked in for the most part. I think the heel cup could retain a bit more, but I’m also used to a “shark-skin” style fabric on my other shoes. Plus – I have to remember this isn’t a full blown race-day shoe.
