The feet are measured three-dimensionally, the shoe is customised in colour on the PC and the data is forwarded online to the factory in Asia. Carnac promises delivery in four weeks for 2010. However, we had to wait four months for our test shoe to arrive at the editorial office. A little tight, was the hasty judgement of the custom-made shoe. However, there were no annoying pressure points when cycling and the shoe really did fit like a glove. The "Helios" model tested is well made, weighs 670 grams in size 42 and offers optimum ventilation. Carnac's concept is a good solution for problem feet in particular.
PLUS: fits perfectly
MINUS: expensive; long delivery time
Price: 445 Euro
