That includes Eko\u00ef, the manufacturer of cycling clothing, shoes and accessories based in Fr\u00e9jus. We received a few beautiful white socks, the Eko\u00ef Road R4. Why these shoes? According to Eko\u00ef, you can also walk well in these shoes with wider feet (like mine). That requires a thorough test, and that is what we conducted. Below you can read why you should (or maybe not) buy the Eko\u00ef Road R4 shoes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"843\" height=\"527\" data-id=\"18483\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EkoiInActie.jpg\" alt=\"Ekoi R4 Road, road cycling shoes, review\" class=\"wp-image-18483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EkoiInActie.jpg 843w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EkoiInActie-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EkoiInActie-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Those shoes look tacky!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Eko\u00ef Road R4 at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What: a road shoe built for speed, with a very stiff sole and two BOA dials.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Fit: roomy enough for wide feet. Tested in the largest size (47, inner length 29.9 cm).<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pros: direct power transfer, sleek look, a perfect fit after a few weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Cons: the stiff tongue needs breaking in, and there are no guide lines for the cleats on the sole.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Price: list price around \u20ac280. Eko\u00ef uses changing prices, so look out for deals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Updated in October 2026.

Size 47 to be exact. Canoe-shaped feet. And also wide feet. A bit of a model duck. That\u2019s why many shoes quickly fall off. Especially the beautiful Italian \u2018slippers\u2019 are not for me. Although I\u2019ve been riding a wide version of an Italian brand for years, I noticed that it wasn\u2019t quite right. That\u2019s why I\u2019m now wearing these Eko\u00ef Road R4 shoes. With my foot length of almost 30cm, I need the largest size. That measure is 29.9 cm and that fits well on paper. Let\u2019s see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery cd-gal-staand has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18454\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/801BB837-3FAD-4FE7-82EA-F24D919F8F5C_1_102_a-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Convenient those two boa wheels!\" class=\"wp-image-18454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/801BB837-3FAD-4FE7-82EA-F24D919F8F5C_1_102_a-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/801BB837-3FAD-4FE7-82EA-F24D919F8F5C_1_102_a-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/801BB837-3FAD-4FE7-82EA-F24D919F8F5C_1_102_a-768x1365.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/801BB837-3FAD-4FE7-82EA-F24D919F8F5C_1_102_a-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/801BB837-3FAD-4FE7-82EA-F24D919F8F5C_1_102_a.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Convenient those two boa wheels!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"18456\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/FB985FEC-F40E-40F6-9CB7-DB0777553139_1_102_a-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"This is the model - the ROAD R4\" class=\"wp-image-18456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/FB985FEC-F40E-40F6-9CB7-DB0777553139_1_102_a-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/FB985FEC-F40E-40F6-9CB7-DB0777553139_1_102_a-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/FB985FEC-F40E-40F6-9CB7-DB0777553139_1_102_a-768x1365.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/FB985FEC-F40E-40F6-9CB7-DB0777553139_1_102_a-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/FB985FEC-F40E-40F6-9CB7-DB0777553139_1_102_a.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is the model \u2013 the ROAD R4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing shoe plates on the Eko\u00ef Road R4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I get my hands on the shoes, they look nice and neat. Basically, what you can expect from shoes in this price range, \u20ac280 for a pair. In terms of prices: always keep an eye out because Eko\u00ef uses dynamic pricing, which means there are (significant) differences in the prices of products at any given moment. Back to the shoes. When I\u2019m going to attach the shoe plates, I\u2019m a bit disappointed. The guide lines on the bottom of the shoes are missing. Although you can\u2019t always trust the manufacturer that they\u2019re straight, it\u2019s still a nice reference point. It makes it difficult to find a kind of reference point. There are tools for that, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/partner.bol.com\/click\/click?p=2&amp;t=url&amp;s=1227670&amp;f=TXL&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bol.com%2Fnl%2Fnl%2Fp%2Fergon-tp1-pedaal-cleat-tool-voor-shimano-spd%2F9200000020929000%2F&amp;name=Ergon%20TP1%20pedaal%20Cleat%20Tool%20voor%20Shimano%20SPD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">ERGON TP1 adjustment tool<\/a>.

Not only the sole is very hard to get dirty, but the lip is also very stiff. A little research reveals the answer: the shoes are made for performance, the pros want the shoes to be really stiff, so that\u2019s also part of the reason. It takes a little getting used to. Fortunately, the shoe has two BOA turn wheels, which allow you to shape the shoe well around the foot. The stiffness of the outer layer ensures that you have to turn the shoe around a couple of times to get it right. In terms of width, it fits perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need for speed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be honest, my first ride with these new shoes was really difficult. The stiffness of the heel in particular makes me constantly have to adjust the shoe. Too tight, too loose, and it just doesn\u2019t feel right. Now I ride every day, so I have plenty of time to find the right setting. My second ride is already going much better. Then I also notice that these shoes are made to be used for pedaling. The stiff sole ensures that every pedal stroke is accurate. Plus, the looks are also tight. I like that, although I\u2019m not necessarily a purist in that area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Longer use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time of writing, I have already owned the shoes for over two months. After the first rides with a somewhat uncomfortable feeling, the shoes have now completely shaped to my feet. I wear them almost every ride and it\u2019s now a pleasure to ride with them. I couldn\u2019t find out if you could warm up the shoes in the oven first and then have them adjusted to your foot afterwards. That would still be an option to get them shaped right away. You see that with other brands, but with Eko\u00ef that remains a mystery. What I have noticed: I go like a rocket with these shoes. One after another record is being broken. And that\u2019s despite the fact that I didn\u2019t necessarily have bad shoes before that. But maybe morale also plays a part? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final verdict Eko\u00ef Road R4 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These shoes are made for hard riding. You can feel that when you put them on, you can see that on your GPS and you can also see it in the price. The catalog price of \u20ac282 is a hefty price. But Eko\u00ef\u2019s variable pricing strategy ensures that you can buy them more often at a more attractive price. But do you have to do that? That\u2019s obviously very personal. As I already wrote: the initial awareness-raising wasn\u2019t love at first try. But as with many things: not everything is always pleasant the first time. Your first ride on the bike, that was probably also a challenge. But as written: that\u2019s when it really starts. The shoes are now shaped to my feet and they feel more natural. I ride them comfortably, I feel that I can really use all my strength and I can get myself out of the saddle well. For a current price under \u20ac200, I even think it\u2019s a bargain. So should you buy it? Yes, sure. But be aware: if you really have really wide feet, choose another brand. Because although these are wide socks, you need special shoes for really wide feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions about the Eko\u00ef Road R4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Eko\u00ef Road R4 suitable for wide feet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our test it was. Our tester has long and wide feet and the width fitted perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does breaking in take?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expect a few weeks. On the first rides you will be looking for the right tension on the BOA dials; after that the shoe moulds to your foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More gear we have tested ourselves is under: <a href=\"\/en\/day\/tested-by-us\/\">Tested by us<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Af en toe krijgen we bij CyclingDestination wat producten opgestuurd om te evalueren.
