Gently worn Men 5.5 Blue The Republic R Knit Shoe offers undeniable style with our new engineered Xnetic knit upper, which was developed for the specific needs of the cyclist. An internal TPU skeletal system provides support where you need it, while the knit offers suppleness for superior sock-like comfort. The upper is DWR-treated for water repellency and easy cleaning, and a rubber toe guard and bonded TPU heel increase durability and abrasion resistance. A new nylon and rubber co-molded outsole provides improved durability and better traction for stable footing on roads, sidewalks and gravel when you're off the bike.
