Gaerne G.Chrono Plus road shoes review
Hitting the top of the high-end road shoe market the Gaerne G.Chrono Plus road shoes need to deliver at the £280 price tag
I never experienced heel lift, even when sprinting hard, and I never experienced any hot spots across the foot despite having them fastened good and tight, only a slightly flat insole blotted their copybook. Sure they aren’t cheap but they compare well with their rivals and look pretty classy in the matt black or white colour schemes. Overall one of the best race shoes this tester has ever used.

The G.Chrono Plus shoes sit at the top of the range of Gaerne’s cycling shoes and are pretty feature-packed.
The ‘EPS Carbon Fibre Sole’ is incredibly stiff and very thin, which coupled with a slim insole makes for a minimal stack height which is good for increased pedalling efficiency.
