Vittoria Cycling Shoes

1976 Classic Cycling Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These shoes are perfect for Eroica-style events and casual rides where style matters as much as performance. The nylon-reinforced sole is plenty stiff for steady pedaling but still great for walking. I’ve worn them for touring and they’re comfortable all day."

The Vittoria 1976 Classic Cycling Shoe is a modern homage to the golden age of cycling, handcrafted in Italy with a blend of traditional styling and updated materials. Its lace-up closure reflects vintage competition footwear, while the microfiber upper reduces seams and integrates reinforcement to maintain its structure over time.

Underfoot, the rubber touring sole with nylon reinforcement delivers balanced performance—efficient enough for long rides, yet flexible enough to make walking comfortable during café stops or touring adventures. Vittoria complements this design with their EFC insole, improving arch support and comfort for extended hours on the bike.

Weighing just 279 grams (EU 41), the 1976 Classic achieves a lightweight feel without compromising its durability or retro-inspired character. Whether tackling gravel events like the Eroica, touring scenic roads, or simply seeking timeless Italian style, the 1976 Classic blends past and present into a shoe built to ride as beautifully as it looks.
