Garmont enters the bike shoe market

The 9.81 HI-RIDE is the new product from GARMONT® for the next summer season. For the first time, the Italians are venturing into the world of cycling - but in a completely new way. Because the hybrid shoe combines the best of both worlds and works for cyclists and hikers alike.

The concept of the low shoe: it offers sufficient flexibility for comfortable walking and is stiff enough to pedal efficiently at the same time. The upper material made from recycled and abrasion-resistant ripstop nylon is extremely breathable and is complemented by a comfortable inner lining and anti-slip microfiber heel inserts. Lightweight reinforcements and welded seams provide additional protection, while the durable TPU insert in the heel area improves foot stability both when pedaling and walking.

The Ortholite® insole is made from 98 percent recycled materials and offers high cushioning performance for long-lasting comfort. The PlumeFoam single-density EVA midsole, whose inner material is made from sugar cane waste, also provides excellent cushioning and lightness. An anti-torsion shank made from high-density EVA supports the arch of the foot.

The GTF™ Hyve sole, specially developed by Garmont, is literally the basis of the hybrid shoe. It was designed to meet the needs of cyclists without compromising walking comfort. The solution is two different material blends: recycled rubber in the running area and extra grippy rubber
in the pedal area. The honeycomb design in the midfoot area is also much more compact for better grip on the pedal. The support zones in the toe and heel area ensure a secure step when walking.

The lacing system is classic with an elastic closure that keeps the laces in place and prevents them from getting caught while pedaling. The 9.81 HI-RIDE is available in the color variants moss green/yellow and black/yellow.
