While Louis Garneau may stand out more as a high end triathlon company, its road offerings still indicate that the Canadian firm is more than capable of circulating in the drop bar crowd. LG's proven innovations include being one of the first manufacturers to adopt the now common single Boa and hook and loop strap fastening system, but the men's Copal Shoes demonstrate that it also recognizes the value of classic, time tested designs. The traditional ratcheting buckle and hook and loop straps constitute an enclosure language that virtually every cyclist can speak by heart, and LG uses it to good effect in order to allow targeted compression at each of the three fastening points. The Ergo Air II sole and Cool Stuff insole facilitate refreshing airflow through the shoes, and the seamless synthetic uppers and HRS 90 heel support system maintain a secure, efficient fit.
