CYCLOCROSS SHOE
The cyclocross shoe was my major capstone project to end my studies at Carleton. This two-term project had two parts: the first term was focused on research while the second term dove into design.
The topic category for the project was performance cycling; under this subject I researched opportunities where design might improve performance.
I learned that Cyclocross (CX) did not currently have a dedicated cycling shoe, and as Cyclocross is the only cycling discipline to require running and pedaling in the same shoes, I found a chance to enhance the performance of cyclocross athletes. My dive into Cyclocross showed me many more areas that could use specific attention, and the project was born.
Take a minute to check out my report on my CX Shoe design. I had a lot of fun doing this project, and I think it shows!
