Quoc was founded in 2009 in London, focusing solely on high-performance, comfort-driven shoes. The Gran Tourer II shoes, Quoc says, are designed by and made for gravel cyclists. They are, as their name suggests, the second generation of the Gran Tourer shoe, which originally came with laces rather than dials.

So, how do they stack up against the best gravel bike shoes? Yes, you get plenty of traction when walking in them, a comfortable upper with little to no pinch points, a stiff sole, and a firm heel cup, and they’re comfortable all ride long.
