Italian shoe brand Udog isn't perhaps the first brand that springs to mind when you think of the best gravel bike shoes, or cycling shoes at all, even. This is probably because until the recent launch of its new Distanza gravel shoes, it only had two pairs of road shoes in its lineup.
The Distanza comes in two flavours: A carbon soled and a composite soled version. I’ve been trying out the latter to see how they stack up against the best in the field, how they fit, where they excel and which bits are going to annoy you. Will it be a number one debut gravel single, or a difficult second album? Let's fire up the turntable, torture some metaphors, and find out.
