Vans
The Half Cab was skateboarder Steve Caballero’s second signature shoe, originally released by Vans in 1991. The Half Cab has since become one of the best-selling skate shoes of all time. In recent years, however, it's become the shoe of choice for many BMX pros and thus has become popular on the ground too. Visit

BIKEBIZ NOVEMBER 59
ALTURA, WHILE NOT making any shoes, does have a number of overshoe products to keep your customer’s clogs fresh. Sized small to extra large and largely all available in black only, the line spans £19.99 through £34.99 with an option available at each £5 interval. Top of Altura's line is the Night
Vision overshoe, targeted at the commuter and highly reflective. Both stretchy and waterproof, the adjustable closure design will fit a variety of shoe style and will stand out when flashed by car headlights. The most wallet friendly of the
bunch, the £19.99 Nevis overshoe, again features performance fabric that is both stretchy and this capable of being used with the majority of cycling shoes. With both a zip and Velcro closure, the cover is water resistant and ideal for the entry-level buyer looking for a basic overshoe with some reflective detail to up their visibility in the saddle.
01845 521700 Seventies
BMX SPECIALISTS Seventies has two footwear brands to offer the rider, from casual shoes, through more technical shoes designed to protect the rider. Both the Lotek and Orchid brands are
available, though the latter is in limited supply at present ahead of an overhaul to the line in the coming year. For availability of Orchid shoes, call Seventies. With that in mind, Lotek's shoe line takes centre stage this year with a simple three-model line consisting of the 'Shreddie' at £54.99, the Mike Aitken signature model at £59.99 and the 'Classic' low cut shoe at £49.99. Each is available in three colours, the Shreddie aside, which comes in a simple white or black. Aitken's signature shoe (pictured) is perhaps the highlight, with a mid-cut design, ankle strap and a choice of either a full leather black and grey finish, or black and red, or black and brown suede finishes. 0845 3103670
The Spiuk shoe range covers multiple disciplines with everything from road and triathlon through to MTB and can even offer options for those into spinning. A spread of price points means that there is a shoe to suit all riders. 01752 843882
