The Watts
Groundbreaking power and supreme control on the descent.
The Watts; The Most Powerful Shoes on Earth
These are the most powerful cycling shoes ever created. They are advanced performance tools offering substantial performance gains that in most cases eclipse advanced wheel sets and frame improvements. If you are looking for untapped speed and efficiency in your cycling, the missing link is your footwear.
The Watts increases acceleration and responsiveness while attacking or staying on a wheel. See up to 12% gains in peak watts on tap, depending on the shoe and rider. Riders experience universally faster times to peak watts and because the overall power band is much wider, there is a notable reduction in dead spots with up to 30% increases in pedal efficiency scores.
Design and Technical Features
Multiple breakthroughs in design, biomechanics, and manufacturing reinvent what a cycling shoe is and will be. It’s no longer just fashion with a stiff sole, but rather the critical transmission point between body and bicycle, man and machine.
The patent-pending mid-cut power panels are the heart and soul of The Watts. Traditional shoes are leather or microfiber in the critical midfoot dorsal zone. Power Panels provide custom, stiff dorsal foot support and superior power transfer. Power panels are interchangeable and tunable to optimize the balance between responsiveness and comfort.
No Two Feet Are Alike. Custom Made Just For Yours
The Watts achieves its performance because the exoskeleton is made precisely for your feet.
The shoe is designed to optimize power transfer in specific zones, but also to allow comfort and natural freedom of movement in areas where traditional footwear typically cause irritation – the best of all worlds.
Wide, narrow, bunions, high insteps, low insteps, it’s all covered. No more constraining your feet to factory sizing – the Morphic 3D print algorithm accounts for all foot shapes.

You Scan, We Print in Continuous Carbon Fiber
The LoreThree employs the digital Scan-to-Print Morphic process to build the footwear of the future.
The Morphic process is groundbreaking because it's moldless and robotic — the first moldless carbon monocoque ever built on Earth and a huge leap forward because it’s fully customizable yet produces all the stiffness and lightweighting benefits of continuous carbon fiber.

The Morphic process transforms your scans into a digital model unique to your anatomy.
Once the digital model is complete, a series of 3D printers combine proprietary polymers with continuous carbon fiber to build your shoes without the use of molds.
Traditional 3D printed parts are typically not as strong, lightweight, or stiff as composite molded parts. Robotic Continuous Carbon
Fiber printing changes that paradigm: full performance with no restrictions on shape and customization.
