Well, the chances are you may well have already worn Crono shoes without knowing. Crono have produced cycling shoes for the biggest brands, including Sidi, Fizik and Time over the years. Providing the highest quality footwear for the biggest names. However, we think it&#8217;s about time that Crono got some recognition of their own, for hand-made shoe manufacturing expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/crono-ce1-gravel-mountain-bike-shoes-264584.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/111026_crono_ce1_gravel_mountain_bike_shoes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36133 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/crono-ce1-gravel-mountain-bike-shoes-264584.html\">Crono CE1<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Right Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crono employ skilled craftsmen and women who are passionate about their profession. They only use the best materials, without any harmful substances and they work together in a safe environment where they treat each other with respect. Whilst this isn&#8217;t the cheapest way to produce shoes, Crono believe it&#8217;s the right way for a healthy planet and society.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/crono-cx1-mountain-bike-shoes-262788.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/110100_crono_cx1_mountain_bike_shoes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36134 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/crono-cx1-mountain-bike-shoes-262788.html\">Crono CX1<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Innovative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With craftsmen and women beavering-away making shoes by hand, using long established techniques, don&#8217;t assume Crono shoes are somehow a relic from the past. This is no &#8216;Elves and the Shoemaker&#8217; story. The latest Boa dial systems, sole stiffness, comfort and grip, matched to their target use &#8211;  as well as utilising the best materials, all come together to produce a cutting edge pair of shoes. The CR1 road shoe is a great example, the best materials and technology coming together in high performance shoes which are also supremely comfortable. The CR1 comfort comes from the design of the Multi Contact Closure System which distributes pressure evenly and more broadly over 8 points. The 6 layer woven carbon sole on the CR1 directly transmits power to the pedals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/crono-ck3-knit-road-shoes-265862.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/111935_crono_ck3_knit_road_shoes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36135 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/crono-ck3-knit-road-shoes-265862.html\">Crono CK3 Knit<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are Crono shoes to suit all types of riders, whatever riding you are in to. Their road series of shoes range starts with the CR3 &#8211; which is Crono&#8217;s best-selling shoe. These feature a carbon reinforced sole for a compromise between comfort and performance, together with Boa dial and two velcro strap closure. The off-road range features mountain bike shoes for clip-in and flat pedals together and  Gravel shoes too. The entry level MTB shoe, CX3, features Boa Dials and velcro strap closure, with uppers made from scratch resistant material which is highly breathable and lightweight.
