Judging anything 'gravel' nowadays is becoming increasingly difficult as the gravel genre itself diversifies and branches off like icebergs off a glacier. You've got racing through to pseudo-MTB, and so judging a single pair of shoes the best overall for such a wide range of uses is nearly impossible.
Nearly impossible, but it is still my job to try and decipher the good from the average in an increasingly saturated market space. I've been using a slew of gravel specific footwear over the last few months from a great number of brands in order to create my guide to the best gravel shoes, and while there are a great number of options on the list that are good, or even excellent options for a specific purpose, rider, or situation, there was one pair that stood out.
