Rocket7 Cycling Shoes
View the Gallery
We are proud to carry Rocket7 cycling shoes. These amazing shoes can be had in stock widths from AA to EEEE, in half sizes, and can be sized per individual foot. Additionally, we carry the custom footbed crush foam casts to allow one to have a truly custom fit in a stock shoe. Below is information from their website:
ROAD
Rocket7 Road shoes have been in the UCI Pro Tour, Giro, TDF, Olympics and World Championships. They were designed for high-performance, high mileage riding.
The lightest production shoe in the world. Approximately 180 grams per shoe ( size 40)
A three-strap Velcro™ closure system provides ample comfort and support of the upper across the foot. Lightweight and efficient, this age old closure system is still the best medium for securing the foot. They won't break, strip or fall off in a crash like buckles do. ·
Synthetic micro-fiber leathers provide a fit that will not stretch, fade or decay like natural leathers do. Micro-fiber fabrics are lighter and repel water better for a consistent long lasting fit. Breathable mesh windows provide unparallel airflow through the upper to keep feet cool. On days when the ambient temperature of the road is higher than your body temperature, carbon fiber soles on any shoe will conduct heat to the foot. Our mesh vents keep the airflow at a maximum to reduce heat build up.
Hand-laid carbon fiber soles are at the heart of Rocket7's performance. Stiff but compliant for maximum power transfer. We use the highest-grade carbon fiber available and wet-lay every shoe with the most advanced epoxy resins available. Don't be fooled by "white carbon" products; if it is white, its called fiberglass. Fiberglass is heavier and only a fraction the strength (and cost) of carbon fiber. · Rocket7's integrated carbon heel-cup was the first ever in the cycling industry. Often referred to as a "monocoque" design, our heel cup is shaped all at once with the sole. This provides better power transfer and critical weight savings.
Our stack height (sole thickness at cleat) is the lowest in the industry. A scant 6mm at the ball of the foot, Rocket7 keeps you as close to the pedal as is physically possible. Lower stack height means better power transfer and less muscle fatigue.
TRIATHLON
Rocket7 Triathlon shoes are designed for the high-performance needs of triathlete's and the focus of its design is based on high-speed entry and exit from the shoe for faster transition zone times. Rocket7 Triathlon shoes took 2nd at Ironman Kona, won Ironman Lake Placid, won Ironman Canada and took 2nd at Wildflower.
The lightest production shoe in the world. Approximately 170 grams per shoe (size 40)
A two-strap, reversed Velcro™ closure system provides ample support while keeping the straps out of the chain when pedaling through transition.
Synthetic micro-fiber leathers provide a fit that will not stretch, fade or decay like natural leathers do. Micro-fiber fabrics are lighter and repel water better for a consistent long lasting fit.
Brushed lined backing inside the shoe provides a smoother feel to the bare foot. Often when exiting the water, the skin of the feet is more sensitive and mesh linings can have an abrasive feel.
Ventilation is provided by strategically placed air holes throughout the upper.
Hand-Laid carbon fiber soles are at the heart of Rocket7's performance. Stiff but compliant for maximum power transfer.

For the most unusual feet with very special needs, Rocket7 can build a shoe for you around a full plaster cast of your foot. The casting may only be performed by a Certified Pedorthist (C-PED) or Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM). The prescription shoe price is $799 plus casting fees set by the Cped or DPM. (Note: Casting and consulting fees are established by the Cped or DPM and are not controlled by Rocket7.) The prescription shoe includes all possible modifications: your choice of colors (from Rocket7 color swatch), cleat mounting options and custom integrated footbed. Full custom shoes require 6 - 9 weeks to build and are subject to the needs of further adjustments or alterations. It is advised to plan your needs accordingly as an investment in full custom shoes goes far beyond your immediate needs for hitting a race deadline. As these shoes are generally for people with foot conditions that often boarder line on severe medical conditions, the time involved in producing these shoes is very intensive. Rocket7 does not issue exact delivery dates nor adjustment dates on full custom projects. The needs of each customer will range and thus the time needed to prepare and complete each shoe will vary. There are no discounts or special offers on these projects.
What are the differences between stock sizes and prescription? While stock shoes are built around a last library of 8 widths and 40 sizes, prescription shoes are built around a "manipulated" model of your foot (to correct a specific foot ailment in many cases). The materials used to build a prescription shoes are exactly the same as stock shoes. The only difference is the shape. One shoe is not "better" than the other.
Footbeds
Cycling Specific Rocket 7 makes Cycling Specific footbeds and orthotics. Why is "cycling specific" important? Simply put, a cycling shoe has more lift in the heel than most other shoes and requires a footbed that will follow the contour of the sole properly. Ordinary walking shoe orthotics are also bulky and take up too much room inside the shoe, reducing the volume and creating a cramped fit. Rocket 7 footbeds are made from carbon fiber and are created to be lean, light and strong. They take up less volume in the shoe, fit the proper geometry of the shoe and aid in supporting the foot for a better ride.
Stock Footbeds are for the rider looking for better arch support and comfort in a cycling specific design that fits all stock cycling shoes.
- Hand laid carbon fiber construction gives us total control over weight, mass and volume. Rocket 7 cycling footbeds are lean and low-volume to minimize the impact of space inside your cycling shoes.
- Come in 3 shapes: low, medium and high arch.
Accomodative Footbeds are made from a foam impression of your foot and built to the exact geometry of your arch. A custom solution that makes your current cycling shoes a much better fit.
